BRACHYURA. 431 



Torres Straits specimen, a transverse row of four granules (cf. PAULSON'S ridge), from 

 outer end of which a row of granules runs backward for a short distance parallel to 

 the lateral margin of the carapace. With my figure should be compared that of 

 Dr. CALMAN (C., pi. i., fig. 10). 



I follow ALCOCK in emphasising the probably catometope affinities of the genus 

 Palicus. On this matter see CALMAN, p. 29. 



Palicus serripes (ALCOCK and AND., 1894) A. 6, p. 454 ; A. Invest., pi. Ixvii., fig. 1. 



Localities : Trincomalee, one specimen (a) ; Gulf of Manaar, deep water, one 

 specimen (6). 



Description: (a) ovigerous ? . . C.I. = 10'50 ; C.b. : 0.1. = 1 '10 



(b] I ovigerous ? . . 0.1.= 9'00 ; C.b.-^C.l = 1-1 1 



NOTE. In the above pages 196 species are named. There remain 12 undetermined 

 forms in the collection, making 208 in all. Of these 12, one is an Oxystome, 

 one an Oxyrhynch, seven are Xanthids, one is a Portunid, and the remaining 

 two are Oatametopes.
