6 DE. W. T. CALMAN ON A COLLECTION OF 



LOPHACT^A GRANULOSA (Riipp.). 



Cancer limbatus, H. Milne-Edwards, Hist. Nat. Crust, i. p. 377, pL xvi. figs. 1-3. 

 LofhacUm gramilosa, A. Milne-Edwards, N. Arch. Mus. Paris, i. p. 247; Alcock, Journ. Asiatic Soc. 

 Bengal, kvii. (2) p. 101 (1898). 



A female specimen. 

 Locality. " Torres Straits." 



LOPHOZOZTMTJS OCTODENTATUS (Milne-Edwards). 



Xantho octodentatus, H. Milne-Edwards, Hist. Nat. Crust, i. p. 398. 



Lo})hozo:ymus octodentatus, Haswell, Cat. Austr. Crust, p. 58. 



L. epheliticus (L.), Miers, Crust. Voy. ' Alert/ p. 207 ; De Man, Zool. Jalirb. Syst. viii. p. 518. 



L. octodentatus, Alcock, Journ. Asiatic Soc. Bengal, Ixvii. (2) p. 106 (1898). 



Three male and three female specimens. The largest, a male, has the carapace 

 75 mm. hroad, and in it, as in the other smaller specimens of both sexes, the chelse are 

 about equal in size. The difference between the sexes in the prominence of the last two 

 pairs of antero-lateral teeth noted by De Man (/. c. p. 519) does not hold good for our 

 specimens. 



Locality. " Tringing reef, Mabuiag." 



LoPHOzozYMus DODONB (Hcrbst). 



Lophozozymus dodone (Hbst.), De Man, Arch. Naturg. liii. (1) p. 270, pi. x. figs. 2, 2 « (1887) ; 

 Alcock, Journ. Asiatic Soc. Bengal, Ixvii. (2) p. 108 (1898). 



Two female specimens, about 13 mm. broad, agreeing perfectly with the figures and 

 short description given by De Man. The grooves on the outer and inner surfaces of the 

 dactylus of the chelipeds are very broad, and the upper margin between them is reduced 

 to a thin sharp crest. De Man notes that these grooves are deeper in young individuals. 



Locality. " Channels between reefs, Mer." 



Distribution. Mozambique to Tahiti. 



Xantho (Leptodius) exaratus (Milne-Edwards). 



Chtorodius exaratus, H. Milue-Edwards, Hist. Nat. Crust, i. p. 402. 



Lejjtodius exaratus, A. Milue-Edwards, N. Arch. Mus. Paris, ix. p.222 (1873) ; De Man, Arch. Naturg. 



lii. (1) p. 285 (1887). 

 Xantho (Leptodius) exaratus, Alcock, Journ. Asiatic Soc. Bengal, Ixvii. (2) p. 118 (1898). 



A single small female specimen of this common and variable species. It appears to 

 differ from the typical form, as described by the authors quoted above, only in the fact 

 that the wrist and hand of the chelipeds are rugose above and the outer face of the hand 

 is granulated. 



Locality. " Cockburn group (N. Queensland), shore."
