General Cdtalocjue of South African Crustacea. 367 



Ti-eatise on Zoology, pfc. 7, fasc. 3, 1909, the Anomura include the 

 tribe Thalassinidea in addition to the Galatheidea, Paguridea, and 

 Hippidea here assigned to the Macrura anomala. However sound 

 the arguments may be for this combination, the term Anomura, 

 implying unsymmetrical tails, is scarcely admissible for a group in 

 which three tribes out of four have the pleon symmetrical.
