It tlieiefoie appears to be improbable that any specimen has been taken 

 within flie limits of Port .lackson. J am able to delinitely record the species 

 from New South Wales' waters, howevei', a carapace 262 mm. wide and two 

 chela^ having been presented to the Australian Museum by Mr. D. (J. Stead, 

 which were secured near the Five Islands, ofl: Wollongong, in 75 fathoms.

I'ariiitioii. — A male specimen, 105 mm. long from the tip of the 

 rostral spines to the end of the posterior tubercle of the carapace, differs 

 from the liolotype in being much less massive. The rostral spines are 

 proportionately slightly longer and are more divergent. The cheUe are 

 much moi'e slender in proportion and the fingers weaker. 



Londittj. — This specimen was taken by the State Trawlei's in about 

 60 fathoms, off Botany^ Bay, New South Wales. The species lias hitherto 

 only been recorded from south of Kangaroo Island, Investigator Strait, 

 South Australia.

This species was originally described from Port Jackson by Hess, 

 but it has not since been recognised from this locality. There is, liowever, 

 a single specimen in the Australian Museum collection which agrees with 

 De Man's description of the typical example. This was collected in 

 Mosman Bay, Port Jackson, New South Wales, by Mr. Thomas Whitelegge. 

 Further, a tine series of specimens was collected in January, 1920, by 

 Mr. J. R. Kinghorn at Trial Bay, New South Wales, on a n)angrove mud 

 flat. All of these specimens agree with those lecorded by Miss Rathbun 

 from Japan iu having the hnigitndinal ridge on the lower outer surface of 

 the palm less prominent, and tlie patch of fui- at the base of the fingers 

 less extensive than is shown in A. Milne Edwards' figure of H. ^lilixiaiia.
