Good Hope." It seems quite uncertain whether this should 

 be identified with the species named Leucosia fugax by 

 Fabricius in 1798, Myra fugax by Leach in 1817, and 

 Persephona fugax by Miss Rathbun in 1907.

Miers says : " There are in the collection three small 

 females from the Agulhas Bank, 150 fathoms, lat 35 4' 0" S., 

 long. 18 37' 0" E. (Station 142), which cannot, I think, be 

 distinguished specifically from Ebalia tuberculosa."

No. 10763, from False Bay, off Cape Point, sent me by Dr. 

 Peringuey, appears to be at least in near agreement with 

 Pennant's species. The chelipeds are much shorter than 

 those of E. tuberculosa.
