next leg. It came from a depth of about sixty fathoms. P . 

 lanicJligera Stimp. is much larger, very hairy, and has the 

 carapace almost completely covered with bits of shell, coral, 

 sand, etc. Ananiathia crassa A. M. E. was by far the largest 

 species of Crustacean collected, some specimens being con- 

 siderably over a foot in ''spread." They were bright red and 

 yellow, and the two largest specimens had the body and 

 appendages covered with a species of barnacle. Two stout 

 processes like horns extend forward from the rostrum, and 

 two very long, sharp spines extend laterally from the margin 

 of the carapace. A single specimen oiAnoinaIothieJnrcil]aius 

 Stm. was dredged from a depth of one hundred fathoms. It 

 has a very long body, which is produced forward into an 

 immense rostrum bifurcating into two divergent horns. Lis- 

 pogiiafliiis thomsoni Norman came up from a depth of two 

 hundred fathoms, and is characterized by having much larger 

 and longer chelipeds than most of the other Maioids. Arach- 

 nopsis Jil/pcs Stm. has three long cylindrical spines on the 

 median line of the carapace. It seems to be rather common, 

 as we took it at six different stations. Ajiasinius la/ lis Rathb. 

 is represented bv a young specimen with very slender chela\ 

 PyroDiaia ciispidata Stm. also came from a depth of two 

 hundred fathoms, and is aptly named from the two curved 

 lateral spines which project from the lower side of the long, 

 strong rostrum like the canine teeth from below the snout of 

 a pig. Pel/a iiiuiica (Gibbes) is from shallow water near Ke}' 

 West, cind is much stouter and shorter-legged than the pre- 

 ceding. Three species of ]\lacrocLxIonia were secured. The 

 largest, J/, scpfciiispiiiosa Stm.. has a very stout body, armed, 

 as the name indicates, with seven spmes, — three median, two 

 lateral, and two in a line connecting the opposite lateral ones. 

 The rostrum is produced into an expanded plate, bifurcated 

 near its distal end. Pcn'rcra coniufa ccclata x\. M. E. w'as 

 common, being secured at several stations. Some specimens 

 of this species were so covered with sponge that their shape 

 could not be distinguished, and their antenna^ must have been 

 practically useless. Tiie chehe are luuisually small in this.
