G. O. Sars has, in Decapodernes Forvandlinger 3 (Archiv f. Math. 
og Naturvid., vol. 14, 1890), p. 168, Pl. 6, Pl. 7, fig. 1—13, described 
the larval stages of this species, but not the young stage, which is not 
known. 
Integument fairly hard. Sculpture only slight. Rostrum rounded 
at the pot, and with some small setae. The one specimen has 3 spines . 
in the mediodorsal line, two of which are placed one close behind the 
other immediately in front of the posterior edge; the other specimen 
had 4 spines here, of which three close behind the rostrum. On either 
side of the carapace are three parallel lateral carinae, the lowest ter- 
minating anteriorly in a spine, while there is also a spine on the anterior 
corner of the carapace. There is a suggestion of a cara on the 3. ab- 
dominal segment; other sculpture than this I have been been unable 
to discover. The sides of the the telson are almost parallel, with 4 pairs 
of small lateral spines (the distal spines lacking on the right side). The 
posterior corners project slightly, and are armed each with 2 spines. 
The median portion of the posterior edge curves slightly outward, and 
is furnished with 4 pairs of ciliated setae. 
On comparing my figure of the oldest larval stage with that given 
by Sars (PI. 7, fig. 1—13) it will be seen that the likeness is on the whole 
striking enough, mine being, however, somehwat more “grown” in form. 
I therefore give here the most important characters only. 
Ant. 2 has a flagellum almost as long as the whole animal, with 
distinct articulation in the proximal part. Of the pereiopoda, only pl 
has an exopodite. P2 is very small and has no chela. There are gills 
at the base of pl—p5d. 
The colour is still a faint red, despite three years’ preservation in 
alcohol; 3 black pigment spots (dark red or reddish brown under the 
microscope) are visible on the squama, and two larger spots on the 
telson; no other pigment is present. 
That my determination here is correct I consider absolutely beyond 
doubt. Of the Greenland Crangonidae, only Pontophilus and Sabinea
