ZOZYMUS CENSUS (Linn.), Leach.

 Indies. 



This widely-distributed species, when alive, is exceedingly beau- 

 tiful, and very unlike in its tints the figures hitherto published. 

 The figure by Quoy and Gaimard, in Freycinet's Voyage (Plate 76, 

 fig. 1), is evidently from a dead specimen, the colouring being very 

 much faded and altered. The subdivisions of the areolets are some- 

 what remarkable. 2 M is divided longitudinally nearly through, and 

 from the anterior end of each part a segment is cut off. 5 L is di- 

 vided into two parts, and each portion is again partly divided. 3 M 

 is divided almost completely into three parts, and from each lateral 

 segment a small subareolet is separated anteriorly ; 4 M is united to 

 3 M between the two intermediate punctures. 1 P consists of four or 

 more parts, two anterior either side of the medial line (sometimes 

 subdivided), and two posterior on the medial line, the former of these 

 triangular and lengthened anteriorly, the latter small and suboval. 

 2 has a small tubercle at its base, and the same is true of 3 0. 



The spoon-cavity of the fingers is not circumscribed on the inner 

 side.
