Oinil/itriix rrlraitem, Girardianus, Jordani, cornutus, and haimdatus agree in 

 combining the toothed rostrum of the C. affinis group with male appendages 

 formed as in the C. Bartonii group. The third pair of legs alone are hooked. 

 C. hamulatus is at once distinguished by its rudimentary eye-stalks, the great 

 length of the posterior segment of the carapace, and long and slender chelaa. 

 It has the superficies of C. peUucidus. C. cornutus has strong, erect, lateral 

 rostral teeth, and very thick antennal flagellum, heavily bearded on inner 

 side. C. Jordani has -a narrow areola with but a few scattered dots, and the 

 antennal scale is broadest toward its tip. C. extraneus and C. Girardianus 

 have a wide areola thickly sown with dots ; they are closely related, but may 

 be separated as follows. In C. extraneus the areola is broader and shorter 

 than in C. Girardianus ; while in C. extraneus the section of the carapace 

 behind the cervical groove is never more, usually less, than one third of 

 the entire length of the carapace from tip of rostrum to posterior border, 

 in C. Giranliiiinis this section of the carapace is more than one third of the 

 length of the entire carapace. The punctation of the carapace is much 

 coarser in C. extraneus than in C. Girardianus. The lateral spine of the 

 carapace is very prominent in C. extraneus, rudimentary in C. Girardianus. 

 In C. Gir/ir<liiun<x the external orbital angle is very prominent, and ends 

 in an acute spine with a corneous tip; the fingers are longer in propor- 

 tion to the hand than in C. extraneus. The distal end of the meros has 

 a single spine on the upper edge in C. Girardianus; C. extraneus has two 

 obliquely placed. 



: C. exlraneus I have seen nine specimens, of C. Girardianus five, of 

 /. Jordani one, of C. ImnniJ/dtts six. Among these are males of the second 

 form with (he first :ilid<>iniiiiil appendages articulated and not articulated, 

 bill mi males of the (i,. s t form.

 Hi.- largest specimen of C. extraneus seen by me, a male, form II., with 

 articulated lirst abdominal appendages, is in the possession of Butler Uni-
