Decapod Crustacea of Bermuda. Part II. 83 



it arches regularly to the slender tip. The carpus is obconic, 

 longer than broad, with distal tufts of long hairs. The merus is 

 about as long as the chela, and distally is nearly as thick ; it has 

 tufts of hairs along each side and a larger tuft at the distal end. 



Legs of the second pair (pi. 32, fig. i, 1") are unusually long 

 and slender. The chela is a little thicker than the carpus, its 

 palm is a little swollen and subovate, slightly constricted below the 

 articulation of the dactyl; both fingers taper regularly and are 

 about equally arched, and equal in length to the rest of the palm ; 

 each finger has a tuft of hairs at the tip and a smaller tuft a 

 little farther back. The carpus is very long ; the third and fourth 

 articles are the shortest and about equal in length ; the second is 

 the longest and about equal to the sum of the fourth and fifth. 

 The fifth is a little longer than the fourth and about as long as 

 the chela ; the merus is also very long and slender, about equal to 

 the sum of the first and second carpal articles. 



The third and fourth legs are stouter (fig. I, 1'") ; the dactyl is 

 elongated, a little curved, acute, covered with short recurved hook- 

 like hairs. The propodus is very spinose and hairy; it has a 

 row of about five or six larger acute serrulate spines on the inner 

 margin, and a row of nine or ten smaller ones on the side; the 

 distal spine of each row is longer than the rest and stands at the 

 base of the dactyl. The outer margin has a row of about six 

 tufts of hairs on each side, and a distal porrect cluster of four or 

 five larger hairs. The carpus and merus also have clusters of 

 hairs along their margins ; the carpus is about as long as the sum 

 of the propodus and dactyl. Legs of the fifth pair are more 

 slender. 



The third maxilliped (fig. I, ri") is robust and very hairy; 

 transverse rows of hairs on the distal article are very numerous 

 and the hairs very long, with spinules between them, tip bears a 

 group of smooth slender hairs, some very long; the exognath has 

 a distal and lateral group of long slender plumose hairs. Third 

 article wide, with the outer side flattened, ending distally in a 

 flat lobe ; flat part distally is as wide as the thick part. 



The uropods (fig. I, w) are wide and well rounded distally; 

 the outer lamina is longer and has a slender acute movable spine 

 at its outer angle, which is also spiniform; its outer and distal 

 margins are fringed with long hairs alternating on the distal edge 

 with small regular spinules. The inner lamella is fringed in the
