of the carapace is granular. Terga of abdomen finely granular. 
Trochanters and femora of second to fourth legs and tibiae of 
fourth legs granular above, the femora becoming smooth distally. 
Abdominal sterna finely and closely granular at the sides, finely 
but less coarsely granular between the muscular impressions on 
the fifth and sixth (fourth and fifth visible) segments. Arm and 
hand normally smooth and polished throughout above with only 
a few sparse punctures.! Trochanter with five strong teeth above 
and two below, the space between these two sets of teeth armed 
with more or less distinct rows of small denticles: femur and tibia 
rather large, the former armed with a stout spine below and the 
latter with a more or less distinct denticle (sometimes obsolete; below 
and a conspicuous conical process (sometimes double) at the base 
of the apophysis above; apophysis triangular in section, broad 
and flat above, strongly grooved along the anterior face, trun- 
cate distally, upper anterior margin slightly concave, posterior 
margin slightly concave proximally slightly convex distally, the 
former margin meeting distal margin in an even curve, the latter 
in a dentiform acute angle, distal margin armed in addition with 
one spiniform tooth. Inner margin of hand denticulate through- 
out and concave at base of fixed finger; fixed finger denticulate on 
both sides ; moveable finger long and evenly curved ; hand armed 
at base of moveable finger with two stout spines of which the 
anterior is remarkably large. Foot of antenniform leg evidently 
very liable to injury and specimens with an abnormal number of 
joints on one side at least are abundant, the long terminal joint 
being apparently the first to be regenerated since it is always 
present when the appendage is healed ; normally the joints are 
moderately long, but the proportions they bear to one another are 
not altogether constant 
2. Size, colour, and general texture of integuments as in the 
male. Arm and hand much smaller than in male, tibial apophysis 
triangular, with a simple denticle at base, two more just below 
apex, and a row along anterior margin ; second (1.e. first visible) 
abdoniinal sternum more than twice as broad as long, posterior 
margin slightly concave on either side, being moderately produced 
in the middle line with the convexity thus formed broadly 
rounded . impressions very faint, apparently four in number, one 
pair situated close together with another pair even fainter outside 
and slightly behind them tinged with a faint greyish streak; 
immediately behind the central pair the sternum is clouded with 
black; the concave portion of the posterior margin on either side 
of the median lobe and immediately behind the outer impressions 
is likewise blackened 
H. browni, n. sp. 
The following description is based on the examination of a 
single specimen found by Mr. J. Coggin Brown at Parni, Monglong, 
! In a single specimen the arm and hand are slightly dulled by a very fine 
rugosity which is most marked at the base of the tibial apophysis and fixed finger.
