Abstract
Whilst examining my “tow-nettings” from the West Coast, I have met with a peculiar Decapod larva, which, so far as I know, is unlike anything previously described. In general appearance it is very like semi-adult forms of Lawifer, having an elongated “neck,” at the tip of which the eyes and antennae are carried. My specimens were obtained from two localities—1st, about half a dozen at about the same stage, from tow-nettings taken in Machrie Bay (west shore of Arran), 17th September 1886; and 2nd, about 20 specimens, some further advanced than those of the previous gathering, which were collected at a depth of 8 to 10 fathoms in the Sound of Mull, 24th August 1887. These were associated with various larval stages of Porcellana, Galathea, and other Decapods.
