measurement, so here, the lateral spines are not included in the 
width. A second specimen, also dry, and also a female, is so 
densely clothed with extraneous growths, that an exact descrip- 
tion would not be possible without a removal of its investiture. 
In this the finger and thumb of the cheliped show a minute 
denticulation of their inner margins, and are quite four-fifths 
of the palm in length. The carapace ,as well as could be judged, 
Was 41 mm. wide by 43 mm. long. 
Aurivillius (IX. Svenska Vet.-Akad. Handlingar, Vol. xxiii, 
p. 52, Pl. 4, figs. 1, ta, 1889), under the designation ‘* Micippa 
haan, Stimpson,” takes account of the serrate hooking-setz 
by help of which this species, like so many other Oxyrrhyncha, 
attaches extraneous objects to various parts of its organism.

Many additional specimens enable me to add one or two notes 
on this species. As shown in Doflein’s figure (1903), the cheli- 
peds of the male in some instances outstrip in length the long 
and slender second pair of legs.
