as long as the merus, is divided into 24 segments, whicli, excepting the i*' and the last, are 

 all a little broader than long; the chela measures about one-fourth of the carpus and is 

 4-times as long as broad in the middle, while the fingers are a little shorter than the palm. 

 This specimen belongs probably to the true Proc. processa (Bate). 



The two small specimens from .Stat. 261, finally, are of the same size as the young 

 male from Stat. 4 and belong to the same species as is proved by the left leg of the 2"'' pair, 

 which closely resembles that of the young male from off Djangkar; the carpus of this leg has, 

 however, only i 1 segments, of which the penultimate and antepenultimate are even slightly 

 broader than long. The chela is only twice as long as broad and the fingers are slightly shorter 

 than the palm. 



As regards the form and the length of the rostrum all the specimens 

 resemble one another. 



The preceding observations, in connection with the measurements, render it probable 

 that the specimens from the Stations 4 and 261 belong to the same species and that those 

 of the three other Stations belong to three other different forms.
