PLATE XIV, FIGURES 1, 2. 



This crab is easily recogni/ed l>y its rough hairy carapace, sharp, 

 divergent, marginal teeth, denticulated frontal lobes, and the thickly 

 tuberculated chela 1 . The larger grannies, which occur in clusters 

 on the dorsal eminences, around the bases of the marginal spines, 

 and on the front, bear long hairs, while a thick close- coating of short 

 hairs covers the intervening spaces. When cleaned, the -vneral 

 color of fresh specimens is yellowish or salmon; the tiii-rr^ -ire Mack. 



When living the carapace and legs are often rather thickly 

 covered, and sometimes almost concealed, by a coating of whitish 

 calcareous mud and sand that adheres to the hairs that cover the 

 back. This is evidently a good protection against its enemies. 

 Some of our specimens, taken in April and >May, carried eggs (Nos. 

 3123, 4010, 4011).

It is most frequently found under stones and dead corals. One 

 specimen was taken from the base of a gorgoniaii ( Verrucella 

 <jr(Dt<1i$}, brought up from over 100 feet of water, outside the reefs 

 (No. 4012). Common, both on the reefs and rocky shores, at low-tide.
