the transverse crests strong ; the median crest distinct oti 

 the last ; sterna finely granular, the last with the four crests 

 distinct and granular, and two crests on the fourth sternite. 



Tail relatively weak and slender, posteriorly narrowed, 

 the first segment distinctly wider than the fourth, which is 

 about twice as long as wide ; all the intercarinal spaces, 

 including the superior, finely granular ; all the keels pro- 

 nounced and granular, but none of the superior keels in any 

 sense denticulate, evenly granular throughout ; vesicle 

 granular, distinctly narrower than hand, about equal to the 

 brachium. 



Chelce sculptured as in the other species, except that the 

 anterior surface of the humerus and brachium are evenly 

 granular throughout (except for the presence of one basal 

 denticle on the brachium), instead of being irregularly denti- 

 culate; hand with strong finely granular keels; the outer 

 finger-keel also strong and almost complete, merely inter- 

 rupted for a short space ; the finger and hand exceeding in 

 length the first two tail-segments and half the third, the 

 movable digit twice the length of the hand- back, not lobate, 

 nor is the immovable basally sinuate ; 18 median rows of 

 teeth on the digit, and the same number composing the outer 

 and inner series. 



Pectinal teeth 20 ; shaft not basally lobate. 



Measurements in millimetres. — Total length 61 ; length of 

 carapace 7, of tail 39, width of its first segment 3'5, of its 

 fourth 3*1, of vesicle 2*8, of brachium 2*8, of hand 3*1; 

 length of brachium 8'5, of hand-back 5, of movable digit 10. 



Loc. Brazil [E. Doubleday). 



Differing from the species allied to forcipula &c. in having 

 no expansion of the base of the pecten, in having the upper 

 caudal keels evenly granular, and the anterior surface of the 

 humerus and brachium without irregular denticulations ; tail 

 narrower, &c. From T. stigmurus (Thorell), which it 

 resembles in many characters, it may be distinguished by its 

 uniform dark colouring. 



LIV. — On Sus verrucosus, xT/ii/^. & Sohleg., and Allies, from 

 the Eastern Archipelago. By Dr. C 1. FORSYTII MAJOR. 



One of the most striking and important characters of Sus 

 verrucosus from Java, and its allies from Borneo, Celebes, 

 the Philippines, &c., as well as of Sus barhatus^ Miill. & 

 JSchleg., is to be found in the shape of the lower canines.
