Hippolyte Whiter Thompson. — Beak longer than in 
II varians , not so acute at the tip, with no spine on the 
ridge, with a minute spine near the tip on the under side, 
thus making three spines on the under side ; carapace less 
gibbous, and spines on it shorter : outer antennae with the 
scale longer and narrower ; inner antennae with the thick 
filament stouter and more bent. Length, one inch and 
2-8ths; the most slender of the British species. A species^ 
first found by Mr. Thompson, at Weymouth, in from four 
to six fathoms water. It is of a lovely dark meadow-green, 
with a whitish band running down the carapace ; the ova 
are palish yellow.
