Antennules with three flagella. Rostrum with six teeth ahove, 

 of which two or three are on the carapace and two helow. First 

 feet didactyle, tolerahly strong. Second feet of both sides greatly 

 Lengthened and having the carpus divided into very numerous 

 j )iiitlets. Telson with two pairs of dorsal spines. Outer uropod 

 two-jointed. The colouring is peculiarly characteristic, being 

 hriliiant red, with four pale or white lines extending longitudinally 

 along the entire length of the animal. 



About the year 1859 Mr. J. Sinel procured a specimen of this 

 beautiful Mediterranean prawn in a lobster-])ot at La Rocque, 

 Jersey. He wrote to ask me what it was, introducing into his 

 letter a pencil sketch. That sketch undoubtedl)' represented 

 Lysmata seticaudata, a most interesting addition to the fauna. 

 T'nfortunately the present existence of this specimen is unknown. 

 !Mr. Smel tells me that he parted with it to some collector, but he 

 cuinot recall to mind who was the recipient. Perhaps this note 

 may bring to light the possessor of this unique British s-pecimen.

 me by Mr. Sinel many years ago.

I dredged the specimen described by me in 1861 in St. Catherine's 

 Bay, Jersey, among Zostera in 1859. Mr. Sinel took a second 

 example iu St. Clement's Bay, Jersey, in 1890, and Mr. Frank 

 Wright captured a third near St. Peter's Port, Guernsey, in 1905.
