HIPPOLYTE, 
123 
Found by Mr. Thompson in Weymouth Bay, in from 
five to seven fathoms water. The Bev. Alfred Norman 
writes to me, “ I think that this must be added as a syn-

to the Paltsmonidce in the teething of the rostrum.” 
Hippolyte Thompson!, Bell.- — Beak straight, deep, 
sharp, continuous, with a sharp keel which extends from 
near the hind margin of the carapace, with eight teeth, four 
of them on the carapace ; beneath, with three minute teeth 
near the tip. Nearly an inch long. 
Described by Professor Bell from a single specimen, ob- 
tained by Mr. Thompson of Belfast from the north-west 
coast of Ireland. Mr. Gosse _)f found it on the Devonshire 
coast. He remarks that the denticulations on the upper 
edge of the beak are not simple serratures, but are triangu- 
lar spines articulated to the edge. 
Mr. Thompson, of Weymouth, observes that the ova are 
of a dirty green. The Bev. Alfred Norman, in some notes 
on British Crustacea, with which he has favoured me, re- 
marks, “ I have never seen the teeth below so large as they 
are represented by Professor Bell ; they are, in fact, all but 
invisible to the naked eye. In some specimens preserved
