Resumo

In a recent paper Cole (1958) has offered a new interpretation of the results obtained in 1949 and 1950 during my investigations of the biology of prawns. The present paper is the outcome of a re-examination of these results and of further prawn measurements which were continued on a small scale until 1955. The later investigations consisted of an annual survey of the prawns, particularly the O-group, caught from the rocks on the south side of the R.A.F. Station, Mount Batten, usually during the first low spring tides every October. The total number of prawns measured in the whole period was over 8,600.
