Tribe Akomura. 



Fam. GalatheidsB.

Galathea strigosa, L. ; Bell, op. cit. p. 200.

 Paguriis bernhardus^ L. ; Bell, op. cit. p. 171. 

 Everywhere abundant between tide-marks and in deep water. 

 A young specimen was lodged inside a fragment of a stalk of 

 wheat. 



This species has nine or ten branchia on each side, besides 

 a rudimentary organ at the base of the first pair of foot-jaws. 

 The latter have no branchial whips, and differ considerably 

 from those of the Brachyura. 



The first pair of foot-jaws have the inner division very much 

 elongated, almost antenniform, and bordered with long hairs, 

 while the external portion is small. In the next pair the inner 

 division more closely agrees with the external in length, and 

 the whole is not very different from the same part in Cardans 

 nianas minus the whip and branchia. The third pair is shorn 

 of its whip and large flap, and has the middle segment * repre-
