This species was discovered in a Modiolus from the Salcombe estuary by Montagu, who 
sent it to me as Cancer minutus, which is, as I before remarked, referable to the genus Grapsus. 
This and the preceding species differ from those figured in Tab, 14, by having their whole 
shell more or less punctate, and may on further examination be found to constitute a division of 
the genus. 
P. Montagui is distinguished from P. Veterum by the form of its abdomen, by the greater 
depth of the notch in the front of the shell, and by the form of the fore feet ; the last character 
for discrimination is obscure, and may be more easily seen than described.
