   Several 
  very 
  fine 
  specimens 
  of 
  this 
  species 
  "wero 
  recently 
  obtained 
  in 
  

   "Wellington 
  Harbour. 
  

  

  At 
  the 
  same 
  time 
  a 
  specimen 
  was 
  procured 
  differing 
  from 
  S. 
  armaia 
  in 
  

   Laving 
  a 
  high 
  median 
  crest 
  on 
  the 
  carapace 
  ; 
  no 
  spines 
  on 
  the 
  ophthalmic 
  

   segment; 
  only 
  five 
  spines 
  on 
  the 
  terminal 
  joint 
  of 
  the 
  prehensile 
  limbs, 
  

   and 
  a 
  nearly 
  square 
  rostral 
  plate. 
  

  

  The 
  specimen 
  is 
  much 
  broken, 
  the 
  whole 
  of 
  the 
  thoracic 
  segments 
  arc 
  

   missing. 
  Length 
  about 
  5 
  inches.

  A 
  third 
  specimen 
  of 
  this 
  species 
  was 
  shown 
  to 
  me 
  a 
  short 
  time 
  since; 
  it 
  

   was 
  procured 
  at 
  Waikanae 
  by 
  Mr. 
  J. 
  Taylor, 
  a 
  student 
  of 
  the 
  Wellington 
  

   College, 
  and 
  is 
  now 
  preserved 
  in 
  the 
  Museum 
  of 
  that 
  institution.

  Two 
  specimens 
  of 
  this 
  remarkable 
  Crustacean 
  were 
  obtained 
  by 
  myself 
  

   a 
  few 
  weeks 
  since, 
  on 
  the 
  Otald 
  beach, 
  near 
  the 
  wreck 
  of 
  the 
  ' 
  City 
  of 
  

   Auckland.' 
  Although 
  they 
  must 
  have 
  been 
  lying 
  on 
  the 
  sand 
  for 
  some 
  

   hours 
  at 
  least, 
  one 
  of 
  them 
  showed 
  distinctly 
  the 
  delicate 
  pink 
  colouring 
  

   mentioned 
  by 
  Prof. 
  Bell 
  in 
  his 
  description.

  A 
  specimen 
  undoubtedly 
  referable 
  to 
  this 
  genus 
  has 
  been 
  obtained 
  by 
  

  

  Mr. 
  H. 
  B. 
  Kirk, 
  at 
  Island 
  Bay. 
  The 
  carapace 
  is 
  much 
  broken 
  ; 
  right 
  claw 
  

  

  the 
  largest. 
  Total 
  length, 
  1^- 
  inch.

  A 
  specimen 
  in 
  the 
  private 
  collection 
  of 
  Mr. 
  H. 
  B. 
  Kirk 
  appears 
  to 
  belong 
  

   to 
  this 
  species. 
  It 
  measures 
  2^ 
  inches 
  in 
  total 
  length, 
  " 
  the 
  hand 
  slender,' 
  

   hairy, 
  and 
  not 
  denticulated 
  below 
  ; 
  the 
  wrist 
  has 
  a 
  spine 
  at 
  its 
  upper 
  apex 
  

   and 
  one 
  on 
  the 
  inner 
  margin, 
  biit 
  none 
  at 
  the 
  lower 
  apex;" 
  legs 
  hairy; 
  

   "front 
  hardly, 
  if 
  at 
  all, 
  three-lobed." 
  

  

  The 
  specimen 
  agrees 
  well 
  with 
  the 
  figure 
  of 
  G. 
  hirtifrons, 
  in 
  the 
  Zoology 
  

   of 
  the 
  Voyage 
  of 
  H.M.SS. 
  ' 
  Erebus 
  ' 
  and 
  ' 
  Terror.'
