Fig. 75. ?Pseudosquilla ferussact (Roux), from Banana. 
First littoral stage? A, dorsal view, X about 2; B, hand, X 6; C, telson enlarged, X about 4.5. 
Banana, August 1915, 1 specimen, first littoral stage? ‘“‘from the 
surf on the sandy shores of the Atlantic Ocean (H. L.)”’ 
MEASUREMENTS.—From tip of rostrum -to end of telson about 33 
mm. long. 
There can be no question that this specimen is a Pseudosquilla, but 
it may not be the species ferussaci, for the shape of the rostral plate is 
different, being triangular and not rounded as in the figure given by 
Giesbrecht (loc. cit., Fig. 49) for the first littoral stage; in all other 
particulars, however, it seems to be in rather close agreement with his 
figures.
