28 A NEW AUSTRALIAN CAPRELLID. 



about half as long as either of the two preceding pairs. The fourth pair are missing from the 

 single specimen. The fifth pair are stouter than the first, and somewhat longer though their 

 second joint is not so long, being little longer than either the fourth, fifth, or sixth; the sixth has 

 two pairs of spines at the end of the palm which is reached by the long slender finger. 



The small pleon carries two pairs of two-jointed pleopods. 



Length of the specimen 22 mm. from front of head to end of pleon, of first antennae about 

 16.5 mm., of second gnathopod 18 mm. 



Locality. — Western Port, Victoria, dredged among seaweed in 2-4 fathoms. This is the 

 place at which P. spinosus was met with. 



Mr. Allan R. McCulloch, to whom I am indebted for the opportunity of describing the speci- 

 men, tells me that it was collected by his friend Mr. Joseph Gabriel, whose name I therefore have 

 the pleasure of using for the new species.
