HISTORY OP BRITISH CRUSTACEA. 
Mr. Sowerby first described it from a specimen found on 
the Scottish coast. One was found at Newhaven. Mr. 
Bell records two specimens as being in his collection, which 
were dredged by Mr. M 'Andrew in deep water off the Isle 
of Man. The Bev. Mr. Gordon takes it in the Moray 
Birth ; while Mr. Barlee has dredged it off Shetland. The 
Bev. Alfred Norman writes to me that he has dredged a 
specimen in deep water with a muddy bottom, off Oban, and 
that he has seen a second from the same spot, which was 
taken by Mr. "W. Templer : he adds, "I have reason to 
think that it is not unfrequent in that locality/' 
Hippolyte yarians, Leach. Leach’s Shrimp . — Beak 
springing from the front of the carapace, longer than the 
peduncle of the inner antennae, with a spine near the base 
and another near the tip ; two (and sometimes three) teeth 
on the lower edge. 
A small species, usually of a clear green colour, but 
varying much in hue, being often also brown. 
Abundant on the South coast and on the Irish coast ; 
found also in the Moray Eirth. The Bev. Alfred Norman 
finds it at Curnbrae and Lamlash Bay. This seems to be 
the II. vulgaris recorded by Dr. Howden as very common 
in pools at low water in the Birth of Borth, as at Preston
