Dr. Stimpson rej^arded this as a synonym of P. politus of Gray, bnt 

 Gray's deS('rij)tion is inadeqmite and the tigure of Grittlths does not 

 help tlie identification, and unless the type is extant it would seem best 

 to r<*taiii T)r. Gibbes's name. 



Color in alcohol: Carapace light brick-red. When the surface is 

 magnified innumerable punctures are brought to view, the position of 

 each i)uncture marked by a very small light colored spot invisible ex- 

 cept under the lens. The merus joints of the ambulatory legs are col- 

 ored the same as the carapace, but under the lens are more conspicu 

 ously and irregularly spotttMl or blotched. The carpal joints are a little 

 darker. The propodal joints are a deep red, darkest near the distal 

 end, Avhich is abruptly light. The dactyls are light, each Avith a deep 

 red ling ill the middle. The ch»li)»eds are a, deeper red than the cai'a- 

 ]»ace. The tips of the fingers are (uimson with the subterminal portion 

 black.

Dr. Hilgendorf shows that Herbst's description agrees better with 

 snlcatus than with the tibicem of the eastern seas, and refers a GalcinHfi 

 from Mozambique to the tihicens of Edwards nee Herbst. Prof. Hen- 

 derscm, in the Challenger Anomura, p. 61, quotes Dr. Hilgendorf, but 

 refei's a Calvinun to Herbst's species tihiixm. If the West Indian 

 species was the one described by Herbst, that name must eventually 

 be adopted fin- it. The eastern species would i)erhaps take the name 

 given by liandall, Pufjurus Icvimanii.s (Jour. Acad. Nat. !Sci. Phila., 

 Viii, 1). 135^18;{1»).
