Extract

On February 29 1937 the larvae of Spirontocaris spinus var. lilljeborgi were hatched out in the Dove Marine Laboratory by Dr H. O. Bull and sent to me for examination. As the larvae differ in certain important points from those of other species known and there is no published account of them, it seems worth while giving a short description, although the later larvae have not been identified and it was not possible to rear them further.
