CRUSTACI-A NORTH PACIFIC EXPLORING EXPEDITION 233 



is less than half as long as the penult joint, and armed below with a 

 minute supplementary unguiculus. The upper surface of the abdo- 

 men is sparsely clothed with long hairs. Color grayish. Length of 

 carapax, 0.22; breadth, 0.18; length of rostrum, 0.07 inch. 



It differs from G. spinosirostris in its longer rostrum and in the 

 plumose character of the setae on the ambulatory feet. 



Found among coral at the depth of one fathom in Port Llovd, 

 Bonin Islands.

Carapax regularly or evenly convex, not much narrowed before; 

 surface deeply strigose and conspicuously pubescent, the hairs or 

 cilis of each ridge being nearly long enough to reach the next ridge. 

 Gastric region not well defined, and armed near the middle anteriorly 

 with three small spines, the median one situated a little behind the 

 other two. Lateral margins armed as in G. oricntalis. Rostrum 

 large, acutely triangular, densely pubescent above, and 4-toothed on 

 each margin ; teeth very sharp, and raking forward. There is some- 

 times a supplementary tooth between the basal tooth and the second. 

 Chelipeds linear, very slender, sparsely setose and spinulose, but 

 with spines smaller and less numerous than in G. oricntalis. Some- 

 times there is. however, a strong spine on the carpus. Fingers of 

 the hand flattened, parallel, not at all gaping, and not as long as the 

 palm. Ambulatory feet of moderate length ; superior edge of meros- 

 joint armed with seven or eight very slender subdistant spinules ; 

 dactylus about half as long as the penult joint. Abdomen pubescent. 

 Color reddish, sometimes with darker mottlings, and a median dor- 

 sal white stripe. In one specimen the length of the carapax was 

 0.22; breadth, 0.16 inch. In another, a female, length of carapax, 

 0.22; breadth, 0.13; length of rostrum, 0.08; length of chelipeds, 

 0.4 inch. 



It was dredged from a sandy bottom in thirty-three fathoms on 

 the east coast of Ousima; also in twenty-five fathoms, coarse sand 

 and shells, off the headland of Hakodadi, Island of Jesso, Japan.

Carapax depressed, scarcely narrowed anteriorly. The transverse 

 strigje are few in number (only three on the cardiac region), the
