Dear Desmond: 
Here at last is the report on the Antiguan shriiaps 
recelTed imder your letter of May 26. ®hank you Tory much 
for sending them. 
%© specimens in Tial Sfo. 1 wer® associated with the 
aleyonarian PseMopterogoi’^ia amerleana (CSmelln) , according 
to the determination of the enclosed fragment hy Dr, F. M. 
Dayer of otir staff. ®he shrimps include not only Ih males 
and 2h females (13 ovigerous]} of the prohahly uadeserihed 
ippoly te and 7 male®, and 6 female® of the new latreute® . 
Both taken previously at Tolfflgo* hut also 2 origerous females 
of le opon tonide s heauf or tens is (Borradaile, If 20). fhe 
latter species Belongs to the family Palaemon Idas , suBfamily 
Pontoniinae, and has Been fotuid with the aleyonarian genus 
..'“ei>togorgia at Beaufort, North Oarollna. It ims also Been 
recorded from St. Augustine and the Dry ^ortugas, Florida, 
and from Caledonia Bey, Panama. ®j© fact that it was in 
the distinct minority in yoru* collection may indicate that 
Pseudopterogorgia is not its favorite host. 
3?he specimens in 7ial No . 2 consist of 1 male and 4 
females (1 ovigerous) of the Hjppolyte and 3 anle®* 3 females, 
1 damaged specinten of the Datreutes . fhes© were on the 
aleyonarian Pseudoaterogorgla acerosa (Pallas). Perhaps the 
Latreutes prefers this aleyonarian and the Hlouolvte is partial 
to P. ^ericana . But such preferences can hardl5>^ Be taken for 
granted from only two colloetlons. 
j-he palaeraonld shrimp in the third vial is an ovigerous 
female of Perlelimenes rathhunae . as you thouf^ht. I assume 
that it was associated with Stoiehactis helianthns (Alllis). 
7he red striped shrl:^j in the sme vial is a male of Kip - 
( HiiPolysiBEta ) graBhami Gordon, 1935, family
