34 CRUSTACEA FROM PORT CURTIS DISTRICT, QUEENSLAND, 



yellow spots where these are present is also in accordance with 

 Whitelegge's description; they are, however, not so numerous as 

 in the specimens from Campbell Island, and the light-coloured 

 patches on the surface of the carapace figured by Filhol are absent. 

 The pigmentation generally appears to be much darker in the 

 northern form.

This was the commonest crustacean on the island. It varies 

 much in size, and was found under almost every rock left exposed 

 by the tide on the outer reef.

 Mast Head Island; a good series. 



It has already been suggested by Alcock (loc. cit.) that C. 

 terrce-regince Hasw., may prove to be merely a varietal form of 

 C. latens. From a study of a good series of specimens before us, 

 which includes three specimens labelled as types of the former 

 species, this is rendered quite clear. Some of our specimens
