by Alcock in 1905 (loc. cit., p. 34). The carapace is 10 mm. long, the 

 ophthalmic scales well apart, the flagellum of the second antennae 

 18 mm. long, the acicle curved ; chelipeds very unequal, the 

 larger with rows of sharp tubercles on wrist, palm, and fingers ; the 

 fourth joint fringed with teeth on inner margin in both members ; 

 of the ambulatory limbs one pair has the fifth and sixth joints con- 

 spicuously denticulate on the convex margin in one member but only 

 inconspicuously in the other.

GEN. CALCINUS, Dana, 1852. 



CALCINUS LAEVIMANUS (Randall), 1839. 



(For the genus and species see these Annals, vol. 6, p. 353, 1910.) 



The smoothness of the chelipeds and short ambulatory limbs make 

 Randall's specific name very appropriate. Under the name Calcinus 

 hcrbstii, de Man, the species is well described and figured by Alcock in 

 1905. Several specimens were collected at Mozambique in November, 

 1912, by Mr. K. H. Barnard, A 3270, and in October, 1912, at Delagoa 

 Bay, one specimen showing the characteristic colouring of the large 

 left cheliped fairly retained ; another, with left cheliped missing and 

 the pleou carrying a Sacculina, A 2120. 



Along with the Delagoa specimens is a small hermit in general 

 resembling the other tAvo, but with chelipeds entirely different, the 

 right slightly the larger, both with hand and finger tuberculate. Only 

 one of the ambulatory limbs is present, and the body is so extensively 

 plastered with parasites as to suggest that the host may be in con- 

 sequence abnormal. The parasite, about 2 mm. long, is in shape a 

 rather elongate oval, narrowing to a short three-jointed stalk, of which 

 the shortest joint (so far as visible) is inserted in the host.
