HISTORY OE BRITISH CRUSTACEA. 
banded with red ; the eyes are black ; the antennae and 
legs are red, and the tail-plates are dotted with red. I am 
indebted to the Rev. Alfred M. Norman for the following 
note. “This beautiful Crustacean occurs in the British 
'channel at Clevedon, occasionally in great abundance. It 
was called by the fishermen who procured them for me, 
* the White Shrimp/ It is taken in nets suspended from 
poles, and placed near the mouth of the little stream that 
runs into the channel at ‘ the Pill / these nets are set to 
take Shrimps, Sprats, and other fish, which the tide as it 
goes out leaves in them. Although the fisherman is always 
on the spot to secure his fish as the tide recedes, he assures 
me he has never once seen a Pasijohrea alive. I conclude 
therefore that they cannot bear exposure to the air, and die 
instantly on leaving the water. Colour white, and the 
appearance jelly-like ; the antennae, articulations of the 
abdomen, pedipalps, hands, and caudal laminae are more or 
less coloured with rich crimson, as Risso has described 
Mediterranean examples. It is a most lovely and remark- 
able species.”
