Calappa sandxvichien {Calappa tubereulata var.) Eydoux and Souleyet Voy. 

 ' Bonite,' Vol. I., Zool., p. 215, pi. iii., figs. 9, 10. 



Length of carapace a little more than half the extreme breadth. 

 In the anterior two-thirds the surface of the carapace is tuberculate 

 and granular, in the posterior third it is marked with squamiform 

 tubercles and beaded ridges : the antero-lateral borders are coarsely- 

 dentate or serrate. 



Clypeiform expansions greatly developed, their breadth being equal 

 to their length : their anterior border shows the points of four teeth, 

 but the postero-lateral border forms a continuous curve, broken only 

 on the under surface by three or four faint sutures. 



Posterior border of the carapace beaded, unai'med. 



Outer part of the pterygostomian regions densely hairy. 



Front emarginate, not projecting beyond the level of the orbits, its 

 breadth at the tip markedly less than the breadth of the orbit. 



The endostomial septum extends vertically from the level of the 

 front to the level of the mouth ; its anterior border strongly convex 

 and projecting. 



Transverse wing-like expansion of the distal end of the arm with 

 its edge four-lobed. Outer surface of palm with numerous sharp tuber- 

 cles : upper surface of wrist tuberculate : anterior end of arm with 

 some sharp granules : crest of palm crenulate, not sharply deutate. 



Andamaus, Nicobars, Maldives, Laccadives, Persian Gulf. 



In the very yottng, the extreme length of the carapace is not much
