REPORT ON THE ANOMURA. 61 



The type si^ecimeu in the British Museum is from Tasmania. 



As in the case of Pagurus similimanus this species shares the characters of Pagurus 

 and Clibanarius, though its affinities are more with the latter genus ; the chelipedes are 

 subequal, a distinct rostral projection is present, and the ocular peduncles are tolerably 

 long and slender, at the same time the ophthalmic scales are arranged as in Pagurus. 

 The special features of Clibanarius strigimanus are the curious striated (stridulating ?) 

 areas on the inner surface of the hand of each chelipede, and the narrow and acute 

 terminal portions of the ophthalmic scales. 



The carapace of a Pagurid from Station 192, off the Ki Islands, with a very prominent 

 rostrum and acute ophthalmic scales, is probably referable to the genus Clibanarius.

Front with a distinct rostral projection. Ocular peduncles usually slender, the basal 

 scales of moderate size and situated close together. Antennal acicle short, the flagellum 

 naked. Chelipedes unequal, the left larger; the fingers moving in a vertical plane, 

 excavated internally and calcareous at the tips. Second and third pairs of legs with short

Habitat. — Tahiti, near reefs, September 28, 1875. A female specimen of this widely 

 distributed Indo-Pacific species, still retaining much of the original vivid coloration. 



It has been pointed out by Hilgendorf that the de,scription and figure of Cancer 

 tibicen, Herbst, agree much better with the West Indian Calcinus sulcatus (Milne-
