[Note received since the foregoing pages were in type : — 



The preceding description (pp. 306-309) agrees quite well with that of Coutifere. Of 

 the three specimens described by him, a male long 70'5 mm. and two somewhat yovmger 



I 1 1 



females, the male had for its rostrum the formula ^', tlie two females respectively | and |- 



In the male the carpus of both legs of the second pair was a little longer than in the 

 specimen from the River Kribi, being once and a half as long as the merus, and the fingers 

 of the larger left leg measured not quite one-third the length of the whole hand. The 

 joints of these legs are described as smooth, except some sharp spinules on the lower 

 border of the palm ; when touched, the legs appeared, however, to be slightly scabrous. 

 Coutiere makes no mention of the characteristic position of the spines of the telson, and 

 it is remarkable that he does not compare his species with P. j)aucideus, Hilgd. —
