Extract

In a previous paper (Lebour, 1930) the general characters of the larvæ of Galathea were described and the various stages of Galathea strigosa and Galathea dispersa identified. The present paper deals with the larvæ of Galathea squamifera and Galathea intermedia which have also been followed through their life histories. This completes the larvæ of the Galatheidæ from Plymouth with the exception of Galathea nexa, the larvæ of which have not been seen. As is noted in the previous paper this Galathea is regarded as a separate species from G. dispersa.
