Habitat.—Loch Gair, Upper Loch Fyne. 
Remarks.—Living specimens of this handsome species are very prettily 
ornamented with usually eight brick-red blotches, six of which are sub- 
marginal ; and two central—one being at the anterior apex of the first 
body segment and one near the posterior portion of the thorax, as shown 
by figs. 1 and 2, Pl. III., which are reproduced from drawings of a living 
male and female specimen from Cromarty Firth. The markings on the 
cephalothoracic segment were similar in all the specimens examined, but . 
one or other of the posterior marginal blotches were observed to be occa- 
sionally absent. The general colour of the dorsal surface was yellowish, 
tinged with brown. When examined under the microscope, the integu- 
ment was also seen to be thickly besprinkled with minute circular mark- 
ings. The secondary branches were quite distinct, though small. With 
the exception of the antennules, the various appendages were the same in 
the male as in the female.
