The dried specimen from the Durban Museum has a carapace 

 45 mm. long and 70 mm. broad, the length being thus rather con- 

 siderably more than half the extreme breadth. It agrees well in 

 general character with Desrnarest's figure, and in particular the right 

 cheliped shows the curious external curved basal process of the 

 finger, which Desmarest represents in his fig. la. 



Krauss remarks that at low tide he found this species in little pits 

 on the sand-banks of the Bay of Natal, in which it sits quite motion- 

 less with the chelipeds pressed close to the thorax ; whether it 

 maintains its peaceful position when the tide comes in he could not 

 ascertain on account of its rare occurrence.
