The first Bermuda specimen known was a small one, taken by the 

 Yale party, in 1898. A much larger specimen (No. 640) was taken 

 in a seine at Nonesuch I., Sept. 3, 1905, by the party from the Field 

 .Alas. Nat. History. It is a female carrying eggs. Its carapace is 

 34 mia long, less rostrum -27.5 nim ; 29 mm broad, less spines 23 m: 

 length of rostral horns 6.5 mm ; length of chelae, 10.5; height, 3.5 mm . 

 The horns are rather long and sharp, nearly parallel, with a large 

 U-shaped space between them. There is a row of seven stout spini- 

 forni or conical tubercles across the posterior part of the carapace; 

 the central and two lateral are the' larger. It is covered with algae, 

 beneath which it is provided with a coating of stiff, rough hairs, 

 with hooked tips. 



The species ranges from Florida to Brazil.
