286 CRUSTACEA. 
3. Gontosoma orientale Dana. 
Synon.: Goniosoma dubium, Hoffmann, Crustacés de 
Madagascar, 1874, p. 11, Pl. Il, figs. 6,.7, 8. 
Confer: de Man, in: Notes from the Leyden Museum, 
I, 1879, p. 60 and V, 1883, p. 151. 
Two male specimens from Endeh, Flores, the cephalo- 
thorax of the larger of which is 40 millim. broad. 
This species has hitherto only been recorded from the 
island of Réunion, from the Philippine Islands (Mindanao) 
and from Timor and doubtless belongs to the rare spe- 
cies of this genus. 
4. Ocypode Kuhlii de Haan. 
Five specimens from Poeloe Samaoe, that are not yet 
come to full growth, and three of which are still very 
young, are likely to be referred to the above-mentioned 
species. 
The identification of young individuals of Ocypode is 
difficult, because the cephalothorax has a different form 
and because the musical ridge is often still wanting or 
scarcely distinguishable. In the largest individual, howe- 
ver, a female, the cephalothorax of which is 30 millim. 
broad, the musical ridge is already developped and com- 
posed out of nine or ten small tubercles that 
have the shape characteristic of this species. The male 
specimen, the cephalothorax of which is 24 millim. broad, 
also already shows a trace of these tubercles when seen 
under a magnifying-glass. 
5. Ocypode cordimana Latr. 
Three young individuals from Poeloe Samaoe. 
6. Varuna literata Fabr. 
One young female specimen from the western part of 
the island of Soemba.
