.previously recorded from Australia were from Sir C. Hardy’s 
Island in the Barrier Reef.. 
For. the identification of these species and the information as to 
.their distribution I am indebted to Kemp’s Memoir on the Stomato- 
poda of the In do-Pacific Region,'* This paper contains records of 
three other species from Western Australia: — 
Gonodactylus graphurus , Miers, obtained off Baudin I., 
and Baleine Bank in N.W. Australia, in depths be- 
tween 8 and 20 fms. ; 
Gonodactylus trispinosus , Dana, from Swan River and 
from Baleine Bank, and 
Gonodactylus stoliurus , Muller, from Sharks Bay. 
Thus our Stomatopod fauna as at present known comprises seven 
species, one of ' Lysiosqnilla, one of Squilla , and five of Gonodac- 
tylus. .Of these six are widely distributed tropical Indo-Pacific 
forms, and one appears to be confined to the southern half of the 
Australian coast-line. 
FURTHER NOTES ON W A. STOMATOPODS.

Since my last communication to the Society on the subject of 
Stomatopods, I have been allowed by Mr. F. Aldrich, Chief In- 
spector of Fisheries, to examine a further collection of these animals 
which he has received from the North-West. 
This collection contained six specimens from Derby of Lysio- 
squilla maculata , Fabr., all of them large males in good condition, 
and they enable me to supplement my remarks on the single speci- 
men in poor condition received before. They vary in length from 
210 to 280 mms. Five have 10 spines on the dactylus, and one 
only 9. 
The specimens all agree with Kemp’s var. sulcirostris in the 
form of the rostrum; they are also remarkably uniform in coloura- 
tion, possessing the minimum amount of dark colouring met with
