next leg. It came from a depth of about sixty fathoms. P, 

 lanielligera Stimp. is much larger, very hairv. and has the 

 carapace almost completely covered with bits of shell, coral, 

 sand, etc. Anamathia crassa A. I\I. E. was bv far the largest 

 species of Crustacean collected, some specimens being con- 

 siderabh' over a foot in "spread." They were bright red and 

 yellow, and the two largest specimens had the body and 

 appendages covered with a species of barnacle. Two stout 

 processes like horns extend forward from the rostrum, and 

 two very long, sharp spines extend laterally from the margin 

 of the carapace. A single specimen oiAnomalothie furciUatiis 

 Stm. was dredged from a depth of one hundred fathoms. It 

 has a very long bod}', which is produced forward into an. 

 immense rostrum bifurcating into two divergent horns. Lis- 

 j)ognat/uis thonisoni Norman came up from a depth of two 

 hundred fathoms, and is characterized by having much larger 

 and longer chelipeds than most of the other Maioids. Arac/i- 

 iiopsis Jilipcs Stm. has three long cvlindrical spines on the 

 median line of the carapace. It seems to be rather common, 

 as we took it at six different stations. Anasi'miis laitis Rathb. 

 is represented by a young specimen with very slender chela?. 

 Pyroniaia cuspidafa Stm. also came from a depth of two 

 hundred fathoms, and is aptly named from the two curved 

 lateral spines which project from the lower side of the long, 

 strong rostrum like the canine teeth from below the snout of 

 a pig. Pelia Duitica (Gibbes) is from shallow water near Key 

 West, and is much stouter and shorter-legged than the pre- 

 ceding. Three species of MacrucccJoiua were secured. The 

 largest. J/, septemspinosa Stm., has a verv stout bod}', armed,^ 

 as the name indicates, with seven spines. — three median, two 

 lateral, and two in a line connecting the opposite lateral ones. 

 The rostrum is produced into an expanded plate, bifurcated 

 near its distal end. Pcriccra cornuta aelata A, M. E. was 

 common, being secured at several stations. Some specimens- 

 of this species were so covered with sponge that their shape 

 could not be distinguished, and their antennee must have been 

 practicallv useless. The chela," are unusually small in this
