   The 
  carapace 
  and 
  chelipedes 
  (in 
  dried 
  and 
  spirit-specimens) 
  are 
  

   very 
  prettily 
  spotted 
  with 
  red 
  ; 
  but 
  the 
  coloration 
  is 
  often 
  entirely 
  

   obliterated.

  I 
  have 
  already 
  remarked 
  upon 
  the 
  specimens 
  of 
  this 
  variety 
  in 
  

   the 
  Museum 
  collection 
  *, 
  which 
  is 
  found 
  not 
  only 
  on 
  the 
  eastern 
  

   coast 
  of 
  Africa 
  and 
  on 
  the 
  Mascarene

  but 
  also 
  in

  Indian 
  

   and

  at 
  least,

  Specimens 
  of 
  this 
  species 
  (which 
  is 
  always 
  distinguishable 
  from 
  

   small 
  examples 
  of 
  E. 
  Jammanus 
  by 
  the 
  narrower 
  front 
  and 
  wider 
  

   orbits, 
  the 
  triangulate 
  and 
  acute 
  spines 
  of 
  the 
  antero-lateral 
  margins, 
  

   and 
  tlie 
  pubescent 
  and 
  granulated 
  chelipedes) 
  are 
  in 
  the 
  Museum 
  

   collection 
  from 
  the 
  Mauritius, 
  and 
  Fiji 
  Islands, 
  Ovalan, 
  Totoya 
  

   (B.M.S. 
  '•Herald'), 
  besides 
  others 
  without 
  special 
  locality. 
  The 
  

   ambulatory 
  legs 
  are 
  transversely 
  banded 
  with 
  spotted 
  reddish 
  mark- 
  

   ings, 
  which 
  are 
  not 
  discernible 
  in 
  E. 
  la;viinanus. 
  The 
  length 
  of 
  the 
  

   carapace 
  in 
  the 
  largest 
  specimen 
  examined 
  is 
  only 
  about 
  8 
  lines 
  

   (17 
  millim.). 
  Besides 
  several 
  Polynesian 
  localities, 
  it 
  has 
  been 
  re- 
  

   corded 
  from 
  the 
  Mauritius 
  {A. 
  3I.-Edwards),

  Of 
  this 
  very 
  common 
  species 
  a 
  large 
  series 
  of 
  specimens 
  was 
  col- 
  

   lected 
  at 
  the 
  following 
  localities 
  : 
  —

  In 
  a 
  former 
  paper 
  f 
  I 
  have 
  remarked 
  upon 
  the 
  synonymy 
  and 
  

   distribution 
  of 
  this 
  species, 
  and 
  have 
  pointed 
  out 
  the 
  characters
