REMARKS ON THE ZOE OF EURYNOME ASPERA, AND THE HABITS OF THE 
ANIMAL IN CONFINEMENT. 
The passage of the majority of the higher Crustacea through the zoe state 
is now a recognised fact in Zoology, and fresh species are turning up 
almost daily as zoes. That which is exhibited to-night is an example 
of this, as the zoe of any of the Lambridse, as far as I know, has never 
been described. 
The specimens from whence the ova were obtained were captured 
during one of the minor excursions of the British Association, in a dredg¬ 
ing party, formed through the kindness and liberality of that well -known 
and indefatigable naturalist, Bobert M‘Andrew, Esq., consisting of Pro¬ 
fessors Allman, Archer, Bedfern, Bev. P. Carpenter, of Warrington, 
Bobert M‘Andrew, Esq., and son, Dr. Edwards, Mr. Hyndman, and my¬ 
self. The scene of our labours was the Kish Bank, where, in addition 
to many other Crustacea, five specimens of JE. aspera were obtained, two 
of them loaded with spawn. 
These I placed in a small salt-water tank, changing the water occa¬ 
sionally. They were first placed in the tauk on the 1st of September ; 
the ova then being of a bright salmon colour. On the 7th I found that 
the ova in one of them had become much darker, being a dirty drab 
colour under the microscope, but little change could be detected in the 
appearance of their contents. On the 10th the ova were a much darker 
drab, and the black eyes of the zoes plainly distinguishable to the naked 
eye. The parent had all this time most assiduously kept up a perpetual
