ZOOLOGY OF THE FAR EAST. 
The series includes several ovigerous females, each bearing a great number of very 
small eggs. 
Palaemon lampropus is known to occur in Celebes and Timor and has been recorded 
by Lanchester from Aring in Kelantan. The number of dorsal teeth on the rostrum 
in Lanchester's specimens (12 or 13) is considerably lower than in any of those found 
by Dr. Annandale. 
Genus Leander, Desmarest. 
In a recent paper in the Records of the Indian Museum I have revised the 
section of this genus that comprises Milne-Edward's Leander styliferus and related 
forms. This paper contains descriptions and figures of three of the five species 
obtained by Dr. Annandale in the course of his tour. 
Leander annandalei, Kemp. 
1917. Leander annandalei, Kemp, Rcc. Ind. Mus., XIII, p. 211, text-figs. 1-4. 
This remarkable species is based on a single individual dredged in the Whangpoo 
River, between Shanghai and Woosung, at a depth of 5^ to metres. It was 
found in pure fresh water. 
Leander annandalei is particularly interesting in that it forms a link between 
L. tenuipes, Henderson, in which the last three pairs of legs are excessively long and 
filiform, and more normally constituted species of the genus. 
Leander modestus, Heller. 
1917. Leander modestus, Kemp, Rec. Ind. Mus., XIII, p. 221, pi. ix, fig. i. 
From material obtained by Dr. Annandale at Shanghai I have been able to draw 
up a fresh description of this species, which was hitherto known only from the account 
given by Heller more than fifty years ago. 
The species is common at the margins of the Tai Hu Lake and is caught in large 
nurnbers in basket traps set among weeds. A few individuals were dredged 
from a bare muddy bottom in the middle of the lake and others were obtained 
in the Whangpoo River between Shanghai and Woosung at depths of 5^ to metres. 
Young examples are common in ditches and ponds in the neighbourhood of Shanghai. 
All the specimens were obtained in pure fresh water. 
In redescribing this species I unaccountably omitted to notice that Henderson in 
1893 recorded Leander modestus from Madras. I have recently obtained from 
this locality specimens of a form which is without doubt identical with that examined 
by him. The specimens are, in my opinion, to be referred to L. semmelinki, a species 
which in many respects bears a close resemblance to L. modestus.
