Abstract
A REMARKABLE instance of this phenomenon is shown in a small crustacean, of the genus “Rypton” (Mr. Spence Bate has not yet determined whether it be a new species or no). This very delicate little animal is found only in holes in the coral inhabited by the common “Echinus” of Mauritius; its colour is a deep purple, with four longitudinal stripes of a much lighter tint; and this is precisely the pattern of the spines of the said Echinus.
