Miss Eathbuu notes that A. spinulosus has shorter legs than 

 A. tliomsoni (Norman), and that in the former "there is no 

 indication in description or figure of the terminal spine on the 

 inerus joints." A female specimen laden with eggs agrees in 

 these respects with A. spinulosus. Its mouth-organs are the 

 same as those of A. thomsoni.

FAMILY BLASTIDAE. 



GEN. BLASTUS, Leach. 

 1814. Blastus, Leach, Ediub. Eucycl., vol. 7, p. 431. 



This generic name, with Pennant's Cancer tetraodon as type of 

 the genus, has page precedence of Pisa. 



BLASTUS FASCICULARIS (Krauss). 



1843. Pisa fascicularis, Krauss, Siidafrik. Crust., p. 50, pi. 3, figs. 5, a-d. 

 1910. Stebbiug, Ann. S. Afr. Mus., vol. 6, p. 288. 



A male specimen of this little species was obtained by Mr. 

 K. H. Barnard, "washed up on Durban beach." A 2251. 



It differs from the description given by Krauss only in having 

 the fingers of the chelipeds comparatively short. His figures of 

 the large smooth hands leave this character indefinite. Krauss 

 attributes the genus Pisa to de Haan instead of Leach, who 

 regarded it as distinct from his own genus Blasttis. 



GEN. EURYNOME, Leach, 1814. 

 (See these Annals, vol. 6, 1910, pp. 288, 289.) 



EURYNOME ELEGANS, n. sp. 

 Plate CVIII. 



This graceful form, a female carrying numerous brown eggs, was 

 unfortunately devoid of both chelipeds. Nevertheless it shows some 

 sufficiently, distinctive featui'es. It is nearly allied to Eurynome 

 longimanus, Stimpsou, 1857, redescribed and rather obscurely figured 

 in his posthumous work, edited by Miss Kathbun in 1907. The
