BERNHARDUS ARMATUS. 



Carapax subnudus. Oculorum pedunculi margine carapacis antico 

 breviores sive basi sive aciculo subulato subnudo antennarum exter- 

 narum multo breviores ; cornea obliqua, dimidii pedunculi longitudine; 

 squama basalis subovata, apiculata. Frons marginatus, media paulo 

 salienSj obtusus. Pedes toti fere nudi (manu juniorls pubescentiore) , 

 antici valde incequi, usque ad digitorum extremitatem dense tenuiter 

 spinosa spinis partim subseriatis, manu grandi laid, oblongd, multo 

 longiore et parce latiore quam carpus ; 4 sequentes supra spinulosi, 

 tarsis infra paulo lateraliter uniseriatim spinulosis. 



Carapax nearly naked. Peduncles of eyes shorter than front; also 

 much shorter than base of outer antennae, or than the acicle, which . 

 is slender, subulate, and nearly naked ; cornea oblique, half as long 

 as peduncle ; basal scale subovate, apiculate. Front marginate, 

 the middle slightly salient, obtuse. Feet all very nearly naked 

 (hand of younger individuals more pubescent) ; anterior pair very 

 unequal, densely spinous even to tips of fingers, spines slender and 

 subseriate, large hand broad and oblong, much longer and slightly 

 broader than carpus, four following spinulous above, tarsi with a 

 series of spinules below but inside of lower margin.

Puget's Sound. 



Length, one and three-fourths inches; length of hand, seven and a 

 half lines ; breadth, four lines; length of carpus, four and a half lines. 

 On the legs there are a few hairs among the spines, but none longer 

 than the spines themselves, and without a glass, they appear quite 

 naked. The fingers of the smaller hand have a corneous edge, and 

 there are traces of the same on those of the larger hand. The tarsi 

 are long, and slender, and naked like the rest of the legs. The ante- 

 rior part of the carapax is hardly as long as broad. The peduncle of 

 the eyes has the projection at tip narrow ; the scale at base has a
