MARINE CRUSTACEANS. 831 



Two specimens from the Maldives, Hulule, Male Atoll. One of them is a giant, with 

 a cephalothorax 70 mm. (2A inches) long, and is lodged in a large shell of Dolium with 

 several small sea-anemones attached. 



Distribution. This common species ranges from the Red Sea and East coast of Africa 

 eastwards as far as the Sandwich Is., and southwards as far as Australia ; that is to say, 

 from about 40' E. to about 150° W., and from about 28° N. to about 30° S. 



10. Pagurns fahimanus, Dana.

The numerous small specimens that I identify with this species I was at first inclined 

 to regard as young of a variety of P. sculptipes Stimpson until I had seen the undoubted 

 young of the latter species. They agree perfectly well with Dana's description and figures 

 except that the dactylus of the left cheliped is less distinctly (more minutely) spinulose 

 than Dana's fig. 7 b. 



Four specimens from the Maldives, Hulule, Male Atoll, and seven from Miladumadulu 

 Atoll : 15 from Minikoi. 



Distribution. East coast of Africa (Ibo), Maldives and Minikoi, Philippines, Fiji, Tongatabu, 

 Funafuti. 



11. 1 Pagurus scabrimanus, Dana. 



Pagurus scabrimanus, Dana, U.S. Expl. Exp. Crust. Pt I. p. 455, PL xxviii. fig. 8 a — c, 

 1852: ?de Man, Notes Leyden Mus. ill. 1881, p. 100. 



Two small specimens very closely resembling P. fabimanus, but differing therefrom in 

 the shorter eyestalks, larger eyes, and different form and sculpture of the two terminal joints 

 of the 3rd left leg, are doubtfully referred to this species. 



One is from Minikoi, the other from the Maldives. 



Distribution. Philippines, ?Red Sea, ? Minikoi and Maldives. 



12. Pagurus wood-masoni, n. sp. 



A diagnosis and figure of this species is about to be published in the Indian Museum 

 Catalogue of Crustacea Anomura. 



The eyestalks reach beyond the end of the antennular peduncle, but the eyes are large, 

 occupying between a third and a fourth the length of the terminal joint of the eyestalk. 

 Though the carapace is depressed, its length in the middle line exceeds its greatest breadth. 

 The legs and chelipeds are strongly spinulose, but only sparsely setose. The left cheliped 

 is vastly larger than the right, and when its joints are . fully extended the hand is strongly 

 inclined inwards — a diagnostic character that excludes all other Paguri. 



A single small specimen from the Maldives. 



Distribution. Andamans and Maldives. 



13. Pagurus guttatus, Oliv., de Man.
