  besides 
  

   others 
  without

  In 
  the 
  larger 
  individuals 
  the 
  spines 
  of 
  the 
  lateral 
  margins 
  are 
  

   more 
  developed, 
  and 
  the 
  orbits 
  more 
  open 
  above 
  than 
  in 
  the 
  specimens 
  

   described 
  and 
  well 
  illustrated 
  by 
  A. 
  Milne-Edwards. 
  The 
  Para- 
  

   mici])pa 
  spatuUfrons 
  {Micijjpa

  to 
  which 
  

   Mr. 
  Haswell 
  refers 
  specimens 
  from 
  Cape 
  Grenville, 
  is 
  principally 
  

   distinguished 
  by 
  the 
  dilated 
  palms 
  of 
  the 
  chelipedes, 
  with 
  fingers 
  

   meeting 
  only 
  at 
  tips; 
  the 
  lateral 
  margins 
  are 
  not 
  armed 
  with 
  

   prominent 
  spines 
  as 
  in 
  M. 
  superciUosa,

  Micippa 
  curtispina 
  {Haswell). 
  

  

  An 
  adult 
  female 
  is 
  in 
  Dr. 
  Coppinger's 
  second 
  collection 
  from 
  

   Thursday 
  Island, 
  3-4 
  fms. 
  (No. 
  175), 
  and 
  a 
  smaller 
  male 
  from 
  

   Prince 
  of 
  Wales 
  Channel, 
  7-9 
  fms. 
  

  

  Haswell's 
  types 
  were 
  from 
  Port 
  Denison. 
  

  

  This 
  species 
  is 
  very 
  distinctly 
  characterized 
  by 
  the 
  form 
  of 
  the 
  

   rostrum, 
  which 
  is 
  not 
  merely 
  deflexed 
  but 
  curves 
  round 
  so 
  as 
  to 
  be 
  

   indexed 
  at 
  the 
  apex 
  ; 
  the 
  lateral 
  subapical 
  lobes 
  of 
  the 
  rostrum, 
  

   which 
  are 
  very 
  little 
  prominent 
  and 
  rounded 
  in 
  Mr. 
  HasweU's 
  

   figures, 
  are 
  obsolete 
  in 
  the 
  specimens 
  I 
  have 
  examined.

  Paramicippa 
  spinosa 
  {Stimpsoii). 
  

  

  Several 
  specimens 
  are 
  in 
  the 
  collection 
  from 
  Port 
  Jackson, 
  

   obtained 
  at 
  depths 
  not 
  exceeding 
  7 
  fms. 
  (IN^o. 
  104). 
  There 
  are 
  in 
  

   the 
  collection 
  of 
  the 
  British 
  Museum 
  specimens 
  from 
  New 
  Zealand 
  

   and 
  Brisbane 
  Water, 
  besides 
  others 
  from 
  Port 
  Jackson. 
  It 
  also 
  

   occurs, 
  according 
  to 
  Mr. 
  Haswell, 
  at 
  Port 
  Stephens. 
  

  

  The 
  Micippa 
  siq^erciliosa 
  of 
  Haswell 
  {t. 
  c. 
  p. 
  440, 
  pi. 
  xxvi, 
  fig. 
  2), 
  

   from 
  Daruley 
  Island, 
  Torres 
  Straits, 
  is 
  an 
  interesting 
  and 
  apparently 
  

   very 
  distinct 
  form, 
  intermediate 
  between 
  this 
  species 
  and 
  the 
  Micippa 
  

   philyra 
  (Herbst). 
  It 
  diff'ers 
  from 
  P. 
  spjinosa 
  in 
  the 
  acute 
  lateral 
  spines 
  

   of 
  the 
  rostrum 
  &c., 
  and 
  from 
  M. 
  philyra 
  in 
  the 
  compressed 
  and 
  

   dilated 
  palms 
  of 
  the 
  chelipedes 
  with 
  fingers 
  which, 
  when 
  closed, 
  

   meet 
  only 
  at 
  the 
  tips, 
  on 
  which 
  account 
  I 
  should 
  be 
  inclined 
  to 
  

   refer 
  it 
  to 
  the 
  genus 
  Paramicippa.
