In life the carapax is pate yellow or yellowish white with several 

 rows of lemon-yellow spots and with rather numerous smaller spots 

 of bright red or crimson, chiefly near the lateral margins and on the 

 antero-lateral teeth. Chelipeds and legs brighter yellow, banded 

 and spotted with bright red. The chelfe have a large crescent-shaped 

 spot of red on the inner side at the joint, and the tips and dorsal 

 spines are red ; two spots of red on the carpus. Ambulatory legs 

 brighter yellow, with three or four bands of red and purple at the 

 joints and with marginal lines of purple ; eye-stalks orange and yel- 

 low. Two living specimens of this species, about two inches broad, 

 were taken by A. H. Verrill, in shallow water on a sandy bottom, 

 near "Waterloo," Castle Hai'bor, April, 1901. The cast shells, some 

 of them of larger size, were also found on the north side of Long 

 Bird Island, opposite the sand flats, in May, 



It Avas originally described from Cape St. Lucas, where it is abun- 

 dant. Specimens from Panama (Capt. J. M. Dow) are in the 

 Museum of Yale University. Miss M. J. Rathbun has recorded it 

 from the West Indies. She considers our specimens identical (judg- 

 ing from the photographs).

A few small specimens that appear to belong to this species were 

 taken this year, at Hungry Bay. The figure, here given, is from 

 one of the original types.

A large and perfect living specimen of this fine species was dug 

 out of the sandy beach, between tides, near Hungry Bay, February, 

 1901, by Mr. T. G. Gosling, and presented to us. The photograph, 

 here reproduced, was from this specimen. No other example was 

 found. It is probably rare at this season of the year, but like 

 Hippa, it may be more common in summer. Its color, in life, was
