  From 
  G. 
  macuJatits 
  this 
  species 
  seems 
  to 
  be 
  best 
  distinguishable 
  

   by 
  its 
  usually 
  broader, 
  less 
  abruptly 
  deflexed 
  front, 
  with 
  straighter 
  

   margin, 
  and 
  by 
  the 
  more 
  widely 
  transverse, 
  shorter 
  epistoma.

  Mr. 
  Kingsley 
  has 
  already 
  (t. 
  c. 
  p. 
  196) 
  noted 
  the 
  identity 
  of 
  

   Geograpsus 
  rubidu/f, 
  Stimpson, 
  under 
  which 
  name 
  specimens 
  from 
  

   East 
  Africa 
  and 
  Reunion 
  are 
  referred 
  to 
  by 
  Hilgendorf

  The 
  distribution 
  of 
  this 
  common 
  species 
  has 
  been 
  referred 
  to 
  in 
  

   the 
  preceding 
  part 
  of 
  this 
  Report 
  (p. 
  245.) 
  The 
  specimen 
  from 
  Mahe 
  

   Island 
  appears 
  to 
  belong 
  to 
  the 
  variety 
  designated 
  by 
  M.-Edwards 
  

   M. 
  intermedius, 
  characterized 
  by 
  the 
  larger 
  markings 
  of 
  the 
  carapace, 
  

   the 
  front 
  is 
  only 
  very 
  obscurely 
  denticulated. 
  

  

  Mr. 
  J. 
  S. 
  Kingsley, 
  in 
  his 
  recent 
  revision 
  of 
  the 
  Grapsidse*, 
  

   places 
  the 
  Grapsus 
  (Pachyr/rajisus) 
  oithiopicus, 
  Hilgendorf, 
  as 
  a 
  dis- 
  

   tinct 
  species 
  in 
  the 
  genus 
  Pachy 
  grapsus, 
  being 
  apparently 
  unaware 
  

   that 
  Hilgendorf 
  has 
  himself 
  admitted 
  the 
  correctness 
  of 
  Kossmann's 
  

   identification 
  of 
  this 
  species 
  with 
  M. 
  messor 
  f.

  Liolophus 
  planissimus 
  (Herhst). 
  

  

  Thirteen 
  specimens 
  (among 
  them 
  but 
  one 
  adult 
  male) 
  were 
  

   obtained 
  at 
  Darros 
  Island 
  on 
  the 
  beach 
  (No. 
  200), 
  and 
  a 
  very 
  small 
  

   male 
  at 
  Etoile 
  Island, 
  13fms. 
  (No. 
  191). 
  

  

  Since 
  my 
  revision 
  of 
  the 
  genus 
  in 
  1878 
  % 
  specimens 
  have 
  been 
  

   added 
  to 
  the 
  Museum 
  collection 
  from 
  Ascension 
  Island 
  (Staff- 
  

   Surgeon
