  of 
  New 
  Caledonia, 
  the 
  frontal 
  teeth 
  are 
  much 
  smaller 
  and 
  less 
  pro- 
  

   minent 
  than 
  in 
  either 
  Hilgendorf's 
  figure 
  of 
  his 
  0. 
  speciosus 
  or 
  in 
  

   the 
  two 
  specimens 
  I 
  have 
  before 
  me. 
  As, 
  however, 
  Prof. 
  A. 
  Milne- 
  

   Edwards 
  had 
  evidently 
  a 
  larger 
  series 
  for 
  examination, 
  and 
  unites 
  

   0. 
  (juttatus 
  and 
  0. 
  speciosus, 
  I 
  do 
  not 
  venture 
  to 
  regard 
  the 
  two 
  forms 
  

   as 
  distinct 
  species. 
  

  

  Mr. 
  Haswell 
  records 
  0. 
  guttatus 
  from 
  Port 
  Denison 
  and 
  Port 
  

   Curtis, 
  

  

  This 
  species 
  has 
  evidently 
  a 
  wide 
  Oriental 
  range, 
  having 
  been 
  

   found 
  in 
  the 
  Red 
  Sea, 
  at 
  Zanzibar, 
  Mauritius, 
  Batavia, 
  Torres 
  

   Straits, 
  and 
  New 
  Caledonia.

  the

  is 
  not

  in 
  

   Haswell's

  The

  grown. 
  Both 
  carapace 
  and 
  limbs

  slightly 
  pubescent. 
  

   The 
  carapace 
  is 
  relatively 
  somewhat 
  narrower, 
  and 
  the 
  antero-lateral 
  

   teeth 
  broader 
  and 
  less 
  distant 
  one 
  from 
  another 
  than

   gicus 
  of 
  about 
  the 
  same 
  size, 
  which 
  otherwise 
  this 
  species 
  very 
  

   closely 
  resembles.
