CARCINOLOGICAL STUDIES. 239 



are found , two or three of which near the base are slightly 

 larger than the others ; the teeth of the upper finger are 

 somewhat smaller than those of the index. 



The hands of the female (fig. 2^) are likewise a little 

 unequal and resemble the smaller hand of the male, their 

 fingers meeting together along their whole length. In the 

 larger hand the palm is almost as long as the fingers, 

 but those of the smaller hand (fig. 2f) are distinctly longer 

 than the palm ; as regards their denticulation , the fin- 

 gers nearly agree with those of the smaller hand of the 

 male. 



The ambulatory legs are similar to those of Telphusa 

 Goudoti. Dr. Hilgendorf wrote me the following about the 

 meropodite of the last pair: »Der Schenkel des letzten 

 Fusspaares ist bei Ihrem Exemplare langer (= Stirn + 1 

 Orbita), bei unserem kürzer (kaum Stirn -|- '/^ Orbita), aber 

 auch dieser Körpertheil könnte bei alteren Exemplaren mehr 

 gestreckt sein." 



Measurements of three specimens , the larger female being 

 that of Java: millimetres.
