To the differences given by Doflein between typical 

 H. barbata and orientalis may be added the shorter, broader 

 ambulatory legs of the latter, especially noticeable in the 

 width of the merus. No intergrading forms were noted. 



Family DROMIID^E. 



In attempting to fit the species of Dromiidse into the 

 genera of Borradaile's revision 22 of the family, emphasis 

 has been placed on the presence or absence of an epipodite 

 on the cheliped, and the approximation or separation of the 

 ends of the sternal sulci of the female. Of the four genera 

 represented in the collection, Dromidiopsis and Petalomera 

 have an epipodite, Dromidia and Cryptodromia have none ; 

 in Dromidiopsis and Dromidia the sternal sulci end 

 together ; in Petalomera and Cryptodromia they end apart. 

 Some of the other characters which have been given to 

 these genera are not dependable, such as the knobbed or 

 ridged legs and the thorn on the dactyl of the last leg.
