This species is extremely common all along the rocky shores that bound the South-Western 
coast of Devonshire, from Plymouth to the Berry Head, and may be taken under stones at low 
tide. 
The fore legs vary; at one time the left, and at another time the right being the largest ; 
besides which, the wrists aud hands are sometimes quite smooth, without the slightest appear- 
ance of that granulated surface which Linné considered as the essential mark of this species.
