Of the above species, a few occur in both the torrid and subtorrid 

 regions of these three sections of the Oriental kingdom, that is, in the 

 Erythrean, Natalensian, Indian, Liukiuan, Polynesian, and Hawaiian 

 Provinces. These are.: Lupa sanguinolenta, Pbdophthalmus vigil, 

 Galappa tuberculata, Acanthopus planissimus, Calcinus tibicen, C. elegans, 

 and Gonodaciylus chiragrus. Grapsus pictus is not included ; it has 

 not yet been reported from the eastern coast of Africa. The above 

 list must be much increased as the species of the different regions are 

 better understood. Some of the species have a range of over twelve 

 thousand miles. Many species common to Natal and Japan or the 

 Hawaiian Islands, are given in the above list. We add below a 

 list of

 scruposa, Melia tessellata, Eriphia levimana, Calappa Jbrnicata, Aniculus
