  locality 
  given 
  by 
  Hess 
  as 
  doubtfiil) 
  at 
  the 
  time 
  of 
  the

  80. 
  Ocypoda 
  ceratophthalma 
  (Pallas). 
  

  

  An 
  adult 
  female 
  was 
  collected 
  at 
  Friday 
  Island 
  on 
  the 
  beach 
  

   (Xo. 
  154). 
  A 
  specimen 
  is 
  in 
  the 
  Museum 
  collection 
  from 
  Moreton 
  

   Island, 
  N. 
  S. 
  Wales. 
  It 
  is 
  mentioned 
  by 
  Mr. 
  Haswell 
  as 
  occurring 
  

   at 
  Cape 
  Grenville, 
  Palm 
  Island, 
  &c. 
  

  

  81. 
  Ocypoda 
  kuhlii,

  Five 
  examples, 
  males 
  and 
  females, 
  were 
  obtained 
  on 
  the 
  beach 
  at 
  

   Thursday 
  Island 
  (No. 
  167). 
  

  

  An 
  adult 
  male 
  from 
  Shark 
  Bay, 
  W. 
  Australia 
  {Raijner, 
  H.M.S. 
  

   * 
  Herald 
  '), 
  and 
  possibly 
  a 
  small 
  mutilated 
  example 
  from 
  Nicol 
  Bay, 
  

   ISr.'NV. 
  Australia 
  (J/,

  belong 
  here. 
  

  

  For 
  remarks 
  upon 
  the 
  specimens 
  of 
  this 
  and 
  the 
  foregoing 
  species 
  

   in 
  the 
  Museum 
  collection, 
  I 
  may 
  refer 
  to 
  my 
  recent 
  memoir 
  * 
  on 
  

   the 
  genus. 
  Both 
  are 
  widely 
  distributed 
  Oriental 
  species. 
  Since 
  

   the 
  publication 
  of 
  that 
  paper, 
  specimens 
  ha^ 
  e 
  been- 
  received 
  from 
  

   Timor 
  Laut 
  (H. 
  0. 
  Forbes) 
  of 
  0. 
  ceratophthalma. 
  

  

  Haswell 
  (Catalogue, 
  p. 
  95) 
  mentions 
  the 
  occurrence 
  on 
  the 
  tro- 
  

   pical 
  coasts 
  of 
  0. 
  cordhnana, 
  a 
  species 
  of 
  which 
  I 
  have 
  seen 
  no 
  

   examples 
  from 
  Australia. 
  Since 
  he 
  particulaily 
  mentions 
  the 
  absence 
  

   of 
  a 
  stridulating 
  ridge, 
  there 
  can 
  be 
  no 
  doubt 
  that 
  his 
  specimens 
  

   belonged 
  to 
  this 
  species 
  and 
  not 
  to 
  0. 
  huhl'd. 
  

  

  82. 
  Macrophthalmus 
  punctulatus. 
  (Plate 
  XXV. 
  fig. 
  A.) 
  

  

  The 
  carapace 
  is 
  nearly 
  quadrate 
  and 
  relatively 
  narrow, 
  being 
  but 
  

   little 
  broader 
  than 
  long 
  ; 
  the 
  cervical 
  suture 
  is 
  in 
  its 
  posterior 
  part 
  

   very 
  distinctly 
  defined 
  ; 
  the 
  surface 
  is 
  uneven, 
  punctulated, 
  without 
  

   spines 
  or 
  tubercles, 
  but 
  clothed 
  with 
  a 
  few 
  scattered 
  hairs, 
  which 
  are 
  

   more 
  numerous, 
  though 
  not 
  dense, 
  on 
  the 
  postero-latcral 
  parts 
  of 
  the 
  

   branchial 
  regions 
  ; 
  the 
  front 
  is 
  about 
  one 
  third 
  of 
  the 
  total 
  width 
  of 
  

   the 
  anterior 
  part 
  of 
  the 
  carapace, 
  with 
  its 
  anterior 
  margin 
  nearly 
  

   straight 
  ; 
  the 
  antero-lateral 
  margins 
  are 
  nearly 
  straight 
  and 
  3- 
  

   toothed(the 
  tooth 
  at 
  the 
  external 
  orbital 
  angle 
  included); 
  the 
  posterior 
  

   lateral 
  tooth 
  is 
  very 
  small. 
  The 
  male 
  postabdominal 
  segments 
  are 
  

   all 
  of 
  them 
  distinct. 
  The 
  first 
  two 
  joints 
  of 
  the 
  slender 
  antennal 
  

   peduncle 
  are 
  contained 
  within 
  the 
  large 
  inner 
  orbital 
  hiatus 
  ; 
  the 
  

   epistome 
  is 
  transverse 
  and 
  very 
  short, 
  almost 
  linear 
  : 
  the 
  merus- 
  

   joint 
  of 
  the 
  outer 
  maxillipedes 
  is 
  truncated 
  at 
  its 
  distal 
  end, 
  and 
  

   nearly 
  as 
  large 
  as 
  the 
  preceding 
  joint. 
  The 
  chclipcdes 
  (for 
  so 
  small 
  

   a 
  specimen) 
  are 
  well 
  developed 
  and 
  are 
  subequal 
  : 
  merus 
  and 
  carpus 
  

   are 
  smooth, 
  without 
  spines 
  or 
  tubercles, 
  merus 
  more 
  or 
  less 
  hairy 
  

   on 
  its 
  inner 
  surface 
  and 
  upper 
  margin 
  ; 
  the 
  palm 
  is 
  but 
  little 
  longer
