an ovigerous male of her specim(Mi,s was 6-4 mm. in length of carapace, with 

 the abdomen 16 mm. long. 



I have to thank Mr. A. R. McCulloch, of the Australian Museum, for 

 kindly comparing this species with Australian forms, and for suggesting 

 that it belonged to C. articulata. Rathbun.

Clibanarius striolatus Dana. 



Clibanarius striolatus Dana, U.S. Expl. Exped., Crust., pt. 1, p. 463, pi. 29, 

 fig. 3 a-c, 1852; Haswell, Cat. Aust. Crust., p. 159. 1882; Alcock,

 (with synonymy). 



Two specimens collected by Mr. Roy Bell, aiid handed by him to Mr. 

 Oliver. 



They agree fairly well wnth the description and figure given by Alcock, 

 and must, I think, belong to this species ; the chelipeds are more spini- 

 tuberculate than is shown in his figure, and in this respect appear to agree 

 with the specimens from Port Denison referred to this species by Haswell. 

 The rostrum is very short, and forms only a very slight projection, broadly 

 rounded at the end. 



Alcock gives the distribution of this species as follows : " Gulf of Aden 

 and Seychelles eastwards to Tahiti ; from about 43° E. eastwards to about 

 150° W., and from about 28° N. to about 18° S." Its occurrence at the 

 Kermadecs extends the southern limit to about 30° S.

Several specimens among rocks at Meyer Island, inhabiting shells of 

 Delphinula, Lotorium, and Gyrinemn ; also one from Sunday Island (Cap- 

 tain Bollons). 



The species is common at Norfolk and Lord Howe Islands, and has 

 also been found on the coast of Australia, near Sydney. 



Porcellanopagurus tridentatus Whitelegge. 



Porcellanopagiirus tridentatus Whitelegge, Mem. Aust. Mus., 4, p. 181, 

 figs. 13, 13a, 136, 1900. 



Five specimens from Meyer Island and Sunday Island. 



These specimens must, I think, be referred to Whitelegge's species, 

 although naturally they differ in some minute points from his long detailed 

 description. The anterior spine on the lateral margin of the carapace is 

 7ery well marked in some specimens, but the posterior tooth is almost
