﻿Ainiah of the Soiifh African Miiitenm. 



tlie iniddlo of tlmt interval to the base is 18 mm. From that 

 base to tlic I'oremost median spine of the carapace the length 

 is 8 mm.. ;iml thence to the hindmost slightly procurved spine 

 MO mm. Between the tips of the lateral strongly pi'ojecting 

 branchial spines the breadth is 36 mm., and lietweeu the bases 

 of those spines 26 mm. The breadth at the obscure eyes is 

 10 mm. The length of the chelae (hand and linger) is 17 mm., 

 of which the finger on the left takes 7 mm., the right finger 

 being slightly shorter. The finger of the fifth peraeopod is 

 8 mm. long. 



The hindmost spine of the carapace is preceded at a distance 

 of 10 mm. not by another spine or tubercle, but by a very 

 prominent swelling. 



The terminal segment of the narrow tuberculate pleon of this 

 male specimen is triangular with the tip slightly truncate. 



Caiman states that " the basal antennal segment has a sharp 

 spine at the antero-external angle." In clearing the coat of the 

 present specimen I may have removed this spine. I cannot 

 certify its presence. Unless the hypothesis be admitted that the 

 relative lengths of horns and spines are subject to much varia- 

 tion, a new species might have to be coined for the specimen 

 here described.
