and that reaches until the distal end of the first joint of 
the antennal peduncle. 
The five specimens, all ova-bearing females, that were 
collected at Maumeri on the eastern part of Flores, per- 
fectly agree with the female specimen from the river Lella, 
48 millim. long, that I have formely described (1. c. p. 
492). This resemblance cannot surprise us, as the river 
Lella streams in the neighbourhood of Maumeri. Th ese 
examples are considerably larger than the 
ten of Great-Bastaard, but this fact is sometimes also ob- 
served in other species, as is proved by the above-mentioned 
female specimens of Palaemon lar from Timor, that are 
all provided with eggs, of which the smallest has a length 
of 62 millim., the full-grown, however, of 10—13 centim., 
as also by the fact that the ova-bearing females of that 
species of Great-Bastaard show a middle length of 8 or 
9 centim. The five examples from Maumeri are 55—60 
millim. long, thus about as long as the adult male from 
Great-Bastaard. The upper margin of the rostrum is armed 
with 11—13 teeth, the sixth or seventh of which is pla- 
ced above the anterior margin of the cephalothorax, the 
lower margin is armed in all with two teeth. One speci- 
men, that has a length of 58 millim., is still provided 
with the left leg of the second pair. The meropodite 
measures 81/, millim., the carpopodite has the same length 
and the chela is 17 millim. long, the fingers measuring 
9 millim. The carpopodite of 8!/, millim. is 3/, millim. 
thick at the distal end, the palm is 8 millim. long, 4°/, 
millim. broad and 2?/, millim. thick. These dimensions 
show that in this specimen the carpopodite and the 
meropodite have the same length and that they 
are only little longer than the palm, which is 
nearly once and a half broader than the car- 
popodite and still shorter than the fingersthat 
meet along their inner edges when closed. 
In another female, that is 56 millim. long, the two 
legs of the second pair have nearly the same length and
