less evident. The large chela, in the specimen described (No. 3119), 

 is 9.5™" long; 4""" high. 



The color of the male, after being a short time in formalin, was 

 pale buff on the upper side of the carapace and legs ; chelae yellow- 

 ish or salmon on the palm, with a white pati-h preceded by a yellow 

 one at the base of the claws, which were umber-brown. 



The figure given by M. -Edwards, from which our fig. 20 was 

 copied, is not very exact. The lateral teeth are too large and the 

 two small post-ocular ones are omitted. The carapace, also, is more 

 swollen laterally and Avider posteriorly than in our specimens, so 

 that the proportions are different. 



Our two specimens are the only ones known from Bermuda. It 

 occurs in the West Indies and as far south as the Abrolhos Reefs, 

 Brazil (Edwards).
