302 MR. BELL, HORiE CARCINOLOGICLE ; 



line of granulations ; the pterygostomian angle scarcely existing. External foot-jaws with 

 the palp moderately expanded. Anterior legs of moderate length, the arms triquetrous, 

 minutely granulated ; the hand smooth, half as long again as it is broad, the fingers very 

 slightly toothed. Abdomen (male) with the third, fourth and fifth segments united; 

 the others distinct. 



Length of carapace - 5 in. 



It was dredged in Simon's Bay, South Africa, in sand, at the depth of from four to 

 seven fathoms. 



This species bears a considerable resemblance to Ph. globulosa. It is however much 

 smaller, and is readily distinguished by the three-sided arm, and the less expanded palp 

 of the foot-jaws. 



Philyra carinata, mihi (Tab. XXXIII. fig. 3). Testa partim granulosa, inter regiones 



cardiacam et branchialem lsevi, medio carinata ; manibus lineis duabus granulosis. 

 Hab. ad Insulam Borneo. Mus. Brit. 



Carapace rather longer than broad, evenly rounded, partially covered with distinct 

 granulations of various sizes, a broad space between the cardiac and branchial regions 

 quite smooth, a slight carina along the middle, margin distinct and granulated; front 

 nearly straight, slightly grooved. External foot-jaws with the palp but little dilated. 

 Anterior legs of moderate size, the arm angular, granulated, excepting a long angular 

 area which is smooth ; hand as broad as it is long, with a bine of small granulations on 

 the upper surface and on the inner margin. Abdomen with only the fourth and fifth 

 articulations united. 



Length of carapace 0'6 in. 



Distinct from all others by the carina on the carapace. 



Philyra macrophthalma, mihi (Tab. XXXIII. fig. 4). Testa, ovata, minutissime gra- 



nulata ; pedunculis oculorum elongatis ; abomine (maris) angusto, lineari. 

 Hab. in mari Indico, ad Ins. " Sooloo." Mus. Brit. 



Carapace ovate, narrowed posteriorly, covered with very minute granulations ; front 

 nearly straight, grooved ; pterygostomian angle carinated ; margin distinct, granulated. 

 Eyes on foot-stalks as long as the front is broad, projecting forwards. Eoot-jaws with 

 the palp much dilated externally. Anterior legs short, smooth ; hand as broad as it is 

 long, fingers stout, strongly tuberculated at the edge, with a hiatus between them near 

 the base ; remaining feet with the last two joints ciliated. 



Abdomen (male) nearly linear, bituberculated at the base. 



Length of carapace 0*5 in. 



The most remarkable character in this species is the length of the foot-stalks of the eyes, 

 which is far greater than in any other of the family which I have seen. The linear form 

 of the male abdomen is also remarkable.
