Habitat. — Eeefs, Zebu, Philippines. An adult male, in a shell covered by several 

 specimens of a sjjotted Anemone. 



Stations 204a, 204b, off Tablas Island; depth, 100 to 115 fathoms; bottom, green 

 mud. An adult male, in a shell of RaneUa Jijiensis, Watson, with a single specimen of 

 apparently the same species of spotted Anemone. 



The true home of this species is the Mediterranean and north-west coast of Africa ; 

 its occurrence in the Oriental region is therefore a matter of extreme interest, for 

 at present there is no evidence to show that it is cosmopolitan in its distribution. 

 It has been previously recorded from Japan l^y De Haan, who states that on com- 

 paring Japanese and Mediterranean specimens no points of distinction could be found ; 

 a similar comparison of the Challenger specimens has in like manner failed.

Habitat. — Simon's Bay; depth, 10 to 20 fathoms. Two males, the body of the larger 

 measuring 7^ inches (0"190 metre) in length. 



This species — one of the largest of known Pagurids — belongs to the West Indian 

 region, extending as far south as Rio Janeiro, from which locality it is recorded by Dana 

 and Heller ; its occurrence at the Cape is therefore of interest as greatly increasing its 

 range of distribution. It was constituted by Stimpson the type of his genus Petrochirus, 

 on grounds which appear to be of specific rather than of generic impoi'tance.
