Mr. E. J. Miers on Malaysian Crustacea. 375 



Pag urns gemmatus, M.-Edwards. 



Two specimens, males, in the collection, without special 

 indication of locality, agree almost exactly with M. -Edwards's 

 short description ; the tubercles on the crest of the tarsus of 

 the third left leg, however, are scarcely to be described as 

 " tubercules arrondis," but in the larger specimen resemble 

 small bluntish spines ; the larger hand, which is very broad 

 and short, is covered externally with unequal irregularly- 

 disposed tubercles, and its inner surface with scattered tufts 

 of hair ; the tarsal joint of the third left leg is longer than the 

 penultimate joint, which is not canaliculated, cristate, or 

 flattened on its outer surface. 



M.-Edwards's specimens were from the " Marquesas," by 

 which, I presume, the Oriental group otherwise designated 

 the Mendana Islands is intended. 



Aniculus typicus, Dana. 

 Malaysia (an adult male of large size, without locality). 



Clibanarius vulgaris, Dana. 



Borneo (an adult male, in shell of Voluta) . A Smaller male, 

 without locality, is in the collection. 



These specimens agree excellently with M.-Edwards's 

 description, except that he says " tarse court," whereas in 

 the Museum specimens the tarsus is longer than the preceding 

 joint. It is to be noted that in Herbst's figure of his Cancer 

 clibanarius there are no indications of the longitudinal mark- 

 ings of the legs described by Milne-Edwards.

Carapace nearly naked, with the cervical suture strongly 

 denned. Rostrum prominent, triangular and acute ; frontal 

 margin with a minute spinule on either side of the rostrum, 

 and further from it than from the antero-lateral margins. Eye- 

 peduncles slender, and shorter than the width of the frontal 

 margin ; ophthalmic scales narrow-linear, concave above, and 

 rounded at the distal ends. Antennal scale very short. The 

 larger (right) chelipede with the merus unarmed, smooth, and 

 clothed with scanty hairs ; carpus with short granulated lines 

 on its outer surface, and armed above with four spinules on 

 the upper and inner margin and two on the upper surface :
