of the digital portion ; in the male smooth, or with a few irregular 

 granules. Borders of the carapace, abdomen and legs lined with 

 fringes of long hairs. 



Hob. Port Jackson. 



Pilumnus integer, u. s. 



Carapace deep, very convex antero-posteriorly, regions very 

 indistinctly indicated, postero-lateral borders parallel. Surface 

 linely granular. Front rather prominent, narrow (the breadth 

 of the interorbital space being contained three and a half times 

 in the breadth of the carapace), divided into two rounded lobes 

 by a mesial notch. Antero-lateral borders entire. Chelipedes 

 in the male very large, — the right propodos larger than the left — 

 the latter granular over all the outer surface with the exception 

 of a triangular space near the base of the mobile finger, the 

 former only granular near the base, a granular ridge near the 

 lower border of the propoda of both chelipedes, becoming entire 

 on the digital portion to the apex of which it extends. Margins 

 of carapace and limbs ornamented with fringes of hairs. Colour 

 brick-red. Length of carapace vVths inch ; breadth nearly § ths 

 inch.

Neither this species nor the preceding can be regarded as

 as aberrant members of that genus. 



Melia (?) brevipes, n. s. 



Carapace smooth, broader than long, convex, especially in its 

 anterior half. Front not deflexed, margin entire, slightly 

 arched. Lateral borders slightly arched anteriorly, with an 

 acute tooth directed forwards near the antero-lateral angle. 

 Third joint of the external maxillipedes notched at its antero-
