 lection of 1898. It has been determined by Miss M. J. Rathbun.

Several specimens of this beautiful species were obtained under 

 stones and among bright colored sponges. In life its colors are very- 

 bright, but imitative of sponges, etc. The carapax is bright orange- 

 red with particolored, irregular, broad streaks, blotches, and angular 

 or rounded ocellated spots of various sizes. These generally have a 

 small, bright yellow center, surrounded by a wide white band, 

 which is edged with bright blue and surrounded by a thin black line. 

 The ai'rangement of the spots and blotches is variable. Sometimes 

 small, round, ocellated spots, with the several colors distinct, occur 

 on the large light blotches, either singly or in lines or groups ; 

 others are scattered over the carapax. The chelipeds and legs are 

 colored in the same way, but here the spots mostly take the form of 

 half -bands, or angular patches at the joints. The tips of the claws 

 are black. The larger patches of color are often unsymmetricallj' 

 arranged on the carapax, which tends to obscure its outline and 

 increases the imitative effect.

In addition to the locality for this large land crab on Cooper's 

 Island, mentioned in my former paper (vol. x, p. 573), we this year 

 found its large holes in considerable numbers near the shore at 

 Hungry Bay, on the south side of the Main Island. As the holes 

 are very deep and generally excavated among stones and the roots 

 of trees, it is very difficult to dig them out. They are said to come 

 out of their holes in the night, in summer. If so they might, per- 

 haps, be captured by torchlight.
