and tin- rows of tubercles decrease from about three', proximally, 1<> 

 one or 1 \\ ii <li>tally ; tin- ridi:e- bear <>n t lie distal side plumose liairs, 

 as on the propodiis. Tlie lower marginal eariua liears one or two 

 iipjier rows of subacute or conical t ul>eivles, and an under row of 

 larger, white, obtuse tubercle-, with a pil bearing a jicncil <>i long 

 hail's, while the upper ones bear havtl, plumose, appn-ssed hairs. 

 The distal articular margin is also fringed with long hairs. The 

 up]ier outer surface aUo hears transverse rows of conical tubercles 

 on raised ridges, carrying short plumose' hairs on the distal side, as 

 below : on the propodu- there may be three or four tubercles in a 

 row, but on the dactyl there are but two or three, or only one dis- 

 tally. and the hail'- are longer. 



( )n the upp'.T surface of the propodus there are two or three rows 

 of lari;e. mostly acute, often double, hair-bearing tubercles, with 

 pencils of h.iirs arising from pits; on the dactyl these tubercles 

 become broader, truncate, or e\eii concave, with clusters of numerous 

 pits from which pencils of longer and stouter hairs arise. The 

 terminal claw is short and black. 



The second ambulatory lei; of the right side, as mentioned by 

 Stimpson, is also flattened, though h-s- BO than tin- left, and has near 

 the margins of the propodus, above and below, flattened, traiis\er-e 

 tubercles, which bear rows of small appressed hairs on the distal 

 edge, becoming longer at the margins : similar, but smaller Hat 

 tubercles are scattered on the middle portion, but there is no median 

 carina. 



The other ambulatory le-s are more -lender, and covered with 

 appivssed tubercles, bearing pencils of l<my liairs. The lei^s of tilt- 

 third pair have rather stout cliche, and are very hairy. 



The eye-Malks are stout, somewhat enlarged distally, with lar^e 

 black eves ; thev are shorter than the width of the anterior part of 

 the carapace; they bear scattered pencils of slender hairs. 



The ocular scales are about as broad as long, well separated, with 

 the outer end three-toothed, the inner tooth longest, minutely den- 

 ticulate and fringed with hairs. 



The aciculum of the antenna- is long, slender, acute, and very 

 hairy. The antennuhe are much longer than the eye-stalks, which 

 reach to about the middle of the last joint of the peduncle. 



Specimens of large si/e, when recently dried, have the legs and 

 chelipeds light orange, varying to red on the exposed surfaces, with 

 the tubercles of the chelre crimson or purple; those surfaces less ex- 

 posed in life are paler orange or yellowish; under a lens the surfaces
