While staying for a few days at Timaru during the last Christmas holidays I contrived to collect a few small Crustacea from amongst the seaweed that is exposed at low tide, just at the north side of the breakwater.

Among these was one belonging to the very remarkable genus Apseudes. Of this genus there are two species given in Bate's and Westwood's “British Sessile-eyed Crustacea,” and Mr. Haswell has lately described one from Australia,* but the animal I have does not belong to either of these three species.
For the sake of those who may not be able to consult Bate's and West-wood's book, I transcribe the generic characters.
