NOTES AND OBSERVATIONS ON BRITISH 
STALK-EYED CRUSTACEA.

Crangon fasciatus. 
Tus and the five following species of the genus Crangon are 
so comparatively rare and so easily mistaken, when seen casually, 
for the young of the common Shrimp, that there is but little to 
record of their habits and life history. My own series of the 
genus is but small, so that I refer for a brief description to Bell's 
standard work. Of this series he says it “ considerably resembles 
the common shrimp in its general aspect; but, besides being 
very much smaller, it differs from it in many particulars. The 
peduncle of the internal antenne is proportionally much shorter; 
the spines on the branchial region of the carapace obsolete. The 
first pair of feet are robust, the movable finger much curved ; the 
second pair of feet shorter than the first, and the third extremely 
small, minutely didactyle; the third pair very slender. ‘The 
abdomen is as large as the thorax for rather more than half 
its length, and then contracts somewhat suddenly, by which it 
may be at once distinguished from young individuals of the other 
species. ‘There is also a remarkable brown band across the 
fourth segment of the abdomen, and a spot or two of the same 
colour on the sides.” 
“ Total length six-tenths of an inch.” 
It was evidently a rarity to Bell, who records that he 
found three specimens among some small Crustacea sent him 
from Salcombe Bay, Devonshire. Since then, however, it has 
been recorded from several localities, namely, the Farne Islands, 
in 1863; the Shetland Islands in 1868; Galway, Arran, where it 
is recorded as rare; Belfast; the Northumberland coast; Corn- 
wall, where it is said to be found occasionally on stony ground ; 
Dublin, Sandy Cove, where it is recorded as spawning in May ; 
and it is also recorded from the Adriatic Sea.
