 reaches beyond the end of the antennal pednncle : under the lens tbe 

 apper Bnrface of the chelipeds (fingers excepted) and first 2 pairs 

 of legs (dactyli excepted; is uniformly frosted with fine grannies ... P. inarmalm 

 II. Eyestalks snbcylindrical, reaching more than halfway along the 2nd 

 joint of the antennal peduncle i the antennal scale does not reach the 

 end of the antennal peduncle : the chelipeds and legs have some 

 transverse subsquamifoi-rn ruga), and the carpus of the chelipeds has

7. Pagmrodes sp.? inarmatus, Henderson. 



Pagwodei inarmatv*, Henderson, Challenger Anomars, p. 94, pi. x. fig. 5. 



A small female, which agrees completely with Henderson's description and 

 figure, and is, J think, this species, was dredged off fche Travancore coast in 487 

 fathoms. The shell that it inhabited has not been preserved. 



The Challenger specimens were taken off Marion Island in the south-western 

 part of the Indian Ocean, and off New Zealand, but in a much greater depth.

Pagurodes sp.? limatuluts, Henderson. 



I'agiLrorlen limatulua, Henderson, Challenger Anornura, p. f)7, pi. x. fig. 6. 



Three small specimens which agree entirely with Henderson's description 

 and figure, and are almost certainly the same- species, were dredged off the 

 Travancore coast in 430 fathoms.

Body asymmetrical. Carapace most strongly calcified in front of the 

 cervical groove, and with the rostral projection conspicuous and often acute. 



Abdomen coiled in a spiral, the first two terga may be semicalcareons and 

 the last tergum and the telson are well calcified, but otherwise it is soft. The
