58 CARCINOLOGICAL STUDIES. 



the palm is in a straight line with the lower margin of 

 the immobile finger. 



The fingers of the smaller hand are comparatively a 

 little longer and the impressed points on the dactylus are 

 deeper, the upper forming partly a groove ; the upper and 

 the posterior margin of the palm and the lower part of 

 the outer surface are granular, and still much smaller 

 granules are observed , by means of a strong magnifying- 

 glass, on the rest of the outer surface. The fingers have 

 pointed tips. 



The hairy ambulatory legs are rather much compressed 

 and resemble those of Heterop. indica , but the dactylopodites 

 are still somewhat longer and are distinctly longer 

 than the propodites. 



Heteropanope australiensis '^iim.^^on has five antero-lateral 

 teeth and cannot therefore be identical with our species, 

 as Haswell thought. 



It is impossible to decide whether Pilumnopeus crassi- 

 manus A. Milne Edw. from Port Western is identical with 

 Kinahan's species , because the description is too short. 



The upper surface of the cephalothorax is of a dark 

 brown olive-green colour, the antero-lateral margins, the 

 orbital margins and the frontal lobes are yellowish red , 

 and the upper surface seems to be marked with a few 

 reddish spots , as e. g. at the two fissures of the upper 

 orbital margin. The upper sides of the anterior legs and 

 the ambulatory legs have nearly the same colour; the 

 outer surface of the hands is of a pale reddish, and the 

 fingers are dark brown , the brown colour gradually growing 

 paler towards the tips. cT
