  scries 
  of 
  specimens 
  was 
  obtained 
  on 
  the 
  beach 
  at 
  Darros 
  

   Island 
  (No.

  also 
  a 
  female

  Sl^ccimcns

  (H.3I.S.

  besides 
  others 
  with- 
  

   out 
  special 
  locality. 
  

  

  In 
  the 
  lobulation 
  of 
  the 
  carapace 
  and 
  the 
  form 
  of 
  the 
  teeth 
  of 
  the 
  

   antero-lateral 
  margins, 
  this 
  species 
  has 
  much 
  the 
  aspect 
  of 
  a 
  P%~ 
  

   modius, 
  from 
  which 
  genus 
  it 
  is 
  distinguished 
  by 
  the 
  exclusion 
  of 
  the 
  

   flagellum 
  of 
  the 
  antennae 
  from 
  the 
  inner 
  orbital 
  hiatus,

  The 
  description 
  and 
  figure 
  of

  to 
  

   apply 
  very 
  well

  tliis 
  species 
  excejit

  — 
  the 
  

   legs 
  are 
  not 
  very 
  long 
  as 
  stated 
  by 
  Krauss. 
  The 
  coloration 
  of 
  the 
  

   chelipede, 
  as 
  he 
  represents 
  it, 
  is 
  exactly 
  what 
  is 
  usual 
  in 
  males 
  I 
  

   refer

  G.
