Appendices to Fourth Annual Report 



fimdo arenoso ' (G. O. Sars). Haakelsund, Kors Fiord, Norway, 3 fathoms 

 (A. M. N.), Tarbert, Loch Fyne (Scotch Fishery Laboratory). 



I took six specimens of this shrimp, ^ and in 1878, in 3 fathoms 

 water, at Haakelsund, Kors Fiord, West Norway, but at the time, from 

 its general resemblance to C. fasciatus, passed it over as that species, as 

 no doubt Norwegian naturalists had also done. In 1882 it was described 

 by Professor G. O. Sars. Mr Scott has now added it to the British fauna, 

 having forwarded to me for examination two or three small specimens 

 which were taken at Tarbert. No other British specimens of this species 

 are in my own collection, but it is not improbable that some of the 

 northern specimens which have been referred to C. fasciatus belong to this 

 new form. The two species to the unaided eye resemble each other closely, 

 and one is apt to be led astray by the circumstance that, like C. fasciatus, 

 C. neglect/as commonly has the carapace dark coloured and a band of colour 

 across the third segment of the pleon, and another across the telson and 

 uropods, but the colour of these bands is chestnut (' badia,' Sars) in 

 neglectttSj but deep umber-brown in fasciatus.

Rostrum broadly and ahnqMy truncate at the extremity, its sides bend- 

 ing upwards, so that it is deeply sulcate in the centre. Carapace bearing 

 a single central spine, on either side of which, and between it and the 

 margin, are three slight lobe-like folds. Between this portion of the 

 carapace and its hinder margin is a deeply cut sulcus arching forwards at 

 the sides. Antennal scale short and very broad, unusually expanded on the 

 inner side at the base. Maxillipeds, with the two terminal joints broad 

 and flattened. Second pereiopods very short, just reaching the base of the 

 hand of the first pair, the chela well developed (for a Crangon). Animals 

 more or less speckled with dark brown, the carapace sometimes being 

 entirely sufl"used with that colour. The epimera of the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th 

 segments of pleon are generally marked with the same colour, and also 

 two transverse bands, one on the fourth segment, the other across the 

 telson and uropods. 



Specimens of this species are in my collection from Jersey (Sinel & Co.), 

 Guernsey and Falmouth (A. M. N.), Starcross, Devon (Mr C. Parker), 

 Weymouth (Mr P. H. Gosse). I have also recorded it from Shetland, but 

 cannot at this moment lay my hands on the specimens to re-examine them. 



Other recorded localities are Salcombe Bay (Mr Alder), Dublin and 

 Belfast (Dr Kinahan), Galway (Dr Melville), Mediterranean (various 

 authorities).
