P. sundaicus. 
specimen from Ceylon measuring 85 mm. in total length (Dana’s 
original specimen measured only 55 mm.), in which the carpus and 
palm are sub-equal, and he argues as in the case of P. sundaicus, 
that the differences between the two examples in the relative 
lengths of the carpus, palm, and fingers, are accountable by the 
greater growth of the Ceylon specimen 
The following measurements taken from the large chelipedes 
of male individuals show the changes which accompany growth in 
regard to their relative lengths :—
