454 CRUSTACEA. 



Length of body, from extremity of abdomen to front margin, eight 

 inches ; length, to extremity of hands, thirteen inches ; the breadth 

 of carapax in front, thirteen and a half lines; length of eye including 

 peduncle, from base, fourteen and a half lines. The anterior part of 

 the carapax is smoothish, with very few tufts of hairs. The carpus 

 has a row of five stout spines above ; the hand is without correspond- 

 ing spines ; the tubercles of the smaller hand in many instances have 

 each a small centre tubercle, surrounded anteriorly by a radiating series 

 of oblong tubercles. The tarsus of the second and third pairs of legs 

 has three dense rows of hairs or tufts of hairs, which are most dis- 

 tinct or more dense along the apical half of the joint. The peduncle 

 of the eye on the upper side, extends quite to the apex of the eye, 

 and bears near its apex a few short hairs.

 incequi; manu majore oblongd, marginibus fere parallelis et subacutis, 

 superiore spinuloso, inferiors crenulato awl subintegro, superficie ex- 

 ternd bene convexd, tomentosd, scabriculd, digito mobili superne fere ad 

 apicem minute spinuloso. Pedes 4 sequentes leviter Mrsuti, tarsis 

 prcelongis, tarso pedis sinistri tertii subtriquetro, superficie hujus arti-
