In the followiug lists three of the species will be seen to 

 be new. 

 Mr. Gardiner's collection contained examples of : — 



Protosqidlla cerebralis Brooks. 1 (f from Eotuma. 

 Gonodactylus chiragra (Fabr.). 8 cJ and 8 5 from Kotiima ; 



1 c? and 5 $ from Funafuti. 



Gonodactylus chiragra (Fabr.), var. smitJiii Pocock. 1 S and 



2 $ from Eotuma. 



Gonodactylus glabrous Brooks. 1 5 from Eotuma. 

 Gonodactylus espinosus, sp. n. 1 c? from Eotuma. 

 Odontodactylus scyllarus (Linn.). 2 cS and 2 $ from Eotuma. 

 Pseudosquilla ciliata (Tabr.). 1 $ from Funafuti. 

 Pseudosquilla oxyrhyncha, sp. n, 1 d from Eotuma. 

 Lysiosquilla maculata (Fabr.). 1 c? and 1 5 from Eotuma. 



Dr. Willey's collection comprised specimens of : — 



Protosquilla cerehi-alis Brooks. 2 $ from Sandal Bay, Lifu, 

 Loyalty Islands ; 1 c? from Pigeon Island, New Britain. 



Protosquilla trisjnnosa (Dana). 1 2 from Lifu, Loyalty 

 Islands. 



Gonodactylus chiragra (Fabr.). 2 c? and 5 2 from Lifu, 

 Loyalty Islands ; 1 d and 1 2 from the Isle of Piues ; 



1 cT and 1 2 from Talili Bay ; 12 from Ealu ; 1 d , 

 locality not stated. 



Gonodactylus chiragra (Fabr.), var. smithil Pocock. 1 cJ and 



2 2 from Lifu, Loyalty Islands. 

 Odontodactylus scyllarus (Linn.). 1 2 from New Britain. 

 Squilla inuUituherculata, sp. n. Id" and 2 2 from Sandal Bay, 



Lifu, Loyalty Islands. 

 Pseudosquilla ciliata (Fabr.). 1 2 from Uvea, Loyalty Islands ; 

 1 6 from Blanche Bay, Loyalty Islands. 



I now proceed to general remarks on the above-mentioned 

 species. 



1. Protosquilla cekebealis Brooks. (Plate V. iig. 6«.) 



Protosqidlla cerebralis, Brooks, ' Challenger ' Stomatopoda, p. 72, 

 pi. xiv. figs. 2 and 3, pi. xvi. figs. 2 and 3 (1886). 



Brooks's examples of this species were all females. Fortu- 

 nately, however, Mr. Gai'diner's and Dr. Willey's collections each 

 contain a male specimen, so that I have been able to have a figure 

 made of the pecuUar structure on the endopodite of the 1st abdo- 

 minal appendage in this sex (fig. 6 a, Plate V.). The importance, 

 from a systematic point of view, of a record of the form of this 

 organ in each species has been pointed out by Brooks (loc. cit. 

 p. 13). 



1 c? from Eotuma ; 2 2 from Sandal Bay, Lifu, Loyalty Islands ; 

 1 c? from Pigeon Island, New Britain.
