7. The lobe on the outer margin of the longer spine of the bifurcate process of 

 the uropods is much larger. 



Some at least of these features are such as one would expect to find in young post- 

 larval Squilla, but it is, I believe, impossible to be certain of the relations of Jurich's 

 species until adult specimens from the K. African Coast have been described.

The dorsal surface is smooth. The breadth of the carapace is greater than half 

 its median length ; the median and intermediate carinae are entirely missing. The 

 lateral carinae are distinct, but the marginals are only visible in the posterior quarter. 

 The antero-lateral angles are produced to a short broad spine which reaches about to 

 the level of the rostral base. The rostrum is about as long as wide ; it has no dorsal 

 carina and its lateral margins converge to a broadly rounded apex (fig. 28). 



The dorsal processes of the ophthalmic somite differ noticeably from those of any 

 other Indo-pacific species of the genus. They consist of a pair of sharp forwardly- 

 directed spines widely separated from one another (fig. 28). The anterior edge of the 

 ophthalmic somite terminates in two sharp points separated by a semicircular emargina- 

 tion. The cornea of the eyes is greatly expanded ; its breadth is almost or quite equal 

 to the length of the whole organ. The corneal and peduncular axes are oblique. 



The mandibular palp is entirely absent. 



The dorsal carina of the carpus of the raptorial claw terminates in a sharp tooth 

 just behind the anterior margin (fig. 29). The dactylus bears seven, eight or nine 

 (rarely six) teeth including the terminal one and its outer margin is convex with a 

 small acute lobe at the base. 



On the thoracic somites submedian and intermediate carinae are distinct. The 

 lateral process of the fifth somite consists of a large tooth directed straightly outwards • 

 the two spines on the inferior margin are distinct. The lateral margins of the two fol- 

 lowing somites are rounded in front, but posteriorly each is produced to an acute point. 



On the abdominal somites the usual four pairs of carinae are well defined. The 

 following terminate in spines : —
