 Bengal; Malaysia (Dr. Sleeker); Duke of York Island (Rev. G. 

 Bmwn); Moreton Bay (purchased) ; West Hill, Queensland (J. B. 

 Juices); Canton Biver (purchased) ; Fiji Islands (H.M.S. 'Herald' 



and U.S. Mxploring Exped.); Samoa [elands (Rev. S. J. Wlt'ihm,). 

 The carapace and chelipedes (in dried and spirit-specimens) are 

 very prettily spotted with red; but the coloration is often entirely 

 obliterated. 



37. Eriphia lsevimanus, var. smithii, MacLeay. 



Glorioso Islands, from the beach and reef at low water, two 

 fr'.udes (No. 220); Mozambique, between tide-marks, a small 

 female (No. '227). 



I have already remarked upon the specimens of this variety in 

 the Museum collection *, which is found not only on the eastern 

 coast of Africa and on the Masearene Islands, but also in the Indian 

 and Indo-Malaysian seas eastward, at least, to New (Juinca, and, 

 according to Hilgendorf, at the Tonga Islands. 



38. Eriphia scabricula, Dana. 



Mozambique, between tide-marks, a male (No. 225) ; Darros 

 Island, beach, a male (No. 200). 



Specimens of this species (which is always distinguishable from 

 small examples of E. Ja'vimanus by the narrower front and wider 

 orbits, the triangulate and acute spines of tho antero-lateral margins, 

 and the pubescent and granulated chelipedes) are in the Museum 

 collection from the Mauritius, and Fiji Islands, Ovalau, Totoya 

 (H.M.S. ' Herald '), besides others without special locality. The 

 ambulatory legs are transversely banded with spotted reddish mark- 

 ings, which are not discernible in E. Iwvimanus. The length of the 

 carapace in the largest specimen examined is only about 8 lines 

 (17 millim.). Besides several Polynesian localities, it has been re- 

 corded from the Mauritius (A. M.-Edivards), Fouquets (Richters), 

 Madagascar (Lenz Sf Richters), the Sooloo Sea (Dana), and Ousima 

 Island (Stimpson). 



39. Trapezia cymodoce (Ilerbst). 



Of this very common species a large series of specimens was col- 

 lected at the following localities : — Seychelles, 4—12 fms. (No. 104) ; 

 African or Eagle Islands, 10 fms. (No. 184) ; Darros, 22 fms. 

 (Nos. 185, 233); Etoile, 13 fms. (No. 191) ; Marie-Louise, 17 fms. 

 (No. 186) : Des Neufs, 15 fms. (No. 187) ; and the Glorioso Islands, 

 7-10 fms. (No. 219). 



In a former paper f I have remarked upon the synonymy and 

 distribution of this species, and have pointed out the characters by
