50 THE BEACHYTJRA. 



Funafuti, Ellice Group ; reef ; Dec. 24, 1899 ; 1 juv. 



This species is closely related to C. melanochira A. Milne Edwards ' and to 

 C. wood-masoni Alcock.' 2 It is smaller, less hairy, and more delicately 

 marked than C melanochira; the second antero-lateral tooth (the first after 

 the orbital angle) is not separated from the adjoining area ; the fourth and 

 fifth teeth are simple, and the hind part of the carapace is not grooved as in 

 that species. C. wood-masoni has fewer denticles on the frontal lobes (7 in- 

 stead of 15 to 20) ; a spiniform second tooth ; a spine on each of the four 

 submarginal areas ; fewer tubercles or granules on the chelipeds.

 All the specimens have three antero-lateral spines, besides the orbital 

 spine ; just back of the latter is a small subhepatic spine. 



Chlorodopsis scabricula (Dana).

Papeete, Tahiti ; reef; Sept. 28, 1899 ; 2 ? immature, 1 young. 



These specimens are the same species as the young 3 from Honolulu, 

 which I referred to C. scabricula (loc. cit.), and I think that they are probably 

 Dana's scabricula. 



The four spines of the side margin are similar to each other (E and S of 

 Dana), being smaller than the others. The four lobules adjacent to these 

 spines are high and their summits are denticulated.
