In alcoholic spechiieus the color of the carpus and anterior surface 

 of the arm is red, with white spots. Some of the spots on the superior 

 surface of the carpus are slightly elevated. In few of the specimens 

 the red color of the carpus is very faint. The basal portion of the tarsi 

 of the posterior legs, in some cases, is brownish-red, and in others pur- 

 plish.

We found this crab to be most abundant on Palmyra Island. They 

 climbed the trees and bushes, dragging after them the heavy shell of 

 the Turho argyrostoma, which they use to the exclusion of all other 

 shells. It is probable that they climb the trees for the purpose of feed- 

 ing on the mosses and lichens that grow thereon.

When describing the type of this species in 1871, I stated that the 

 tarsus of the third leg of the left side was shorter than the correspond- 

 ing leg of the right side. As this difference is not observable in the 

 present specimen, which agrees with panamensis in every other respect, 

 it was doubtless nothing more than an individual variation. The tarsus 

 of the third leg, left side, is slightly longer than that of the right side,
