and four terminal spines slender. External branch of uropods 

 with two minute spines at the distal notch, and a movable one 

 between them. 



Some of the larger specimens taken in Castle Harbor, in dead 

 corals, April I5th, 1901, carried clusters of olive-green or brown 

 eggs. After two months preservation in formol and alcohol the 

 color of the specimens described above was nearly uniform bright 

 light red, but with darker red specks, larger on the chelae. 



Another Bermuda specimen (No. 3108) has, on the propodus 

 of the third pair of legs, a row of ten sharp spines, each accom- 

 panied by a longer hair, in addition to the two distal spines; a 

 similar spine is on the distal end of the carpus, while the outer 

 angle of the carpus is prominent dentiform. The dactyl spur is 

 prominent and conical. The outer sides of the propodus and 

 carpus also have unequal smooth hairs. 



The following description is from the Bermuda specimens of 

 1901 (aa), which seem to be nearer the typical form. The body 

 of the female, carrying eggs, is rather stout, about 22 mm long. 

 Front sharply trispinose; rostrum longer than the ocular spines, 

 thin, compressed, very acute; the tip reaches about to the distal 

 third of the basal antennular segment ; seen in profile it is wider 

 at the base beneath. Ocular spines nearly as long as the rostrum, 

 acuminate, very sharp at the tip, swollen over the eyes and conical 

 at the base. Basal spine of the antennule is slender, acute; it 

 reaches about to the middle of the second segment ; the basicerite 

 has two acute, unequal, lateral spines ; the lower and longer is 

 about equal to the antennular spine; the antennal scale is long, 

 rather narrow ; its spine is a little longer than the scale, very acute 

 at the tip, which reaches to or a little beyond the end of the 

 antennal peduncle, and slightly beyond the antennular peduncle. 

 Large chela smooth, entire, with no prominent spinule at the dorsal 

 distal articulation ; palm somewhat oblique ; inner lateral articular 

 margin of the fixed finger very oblique with two denticles and a 

 large obtuse lobe on the inner side, and a small dorsal tubercle. 

 Dactyl more than half the length of the palm, evenly curved, acute 

 at the tip ; inner edge plain, with no denticles ; plunger of moder- 

 ate size, directed strongly backward, slightly bilobed on one side. 



Legs of the third pair have strong tapered dactyls, with the 

 hooks divergent, lower one wider, shorter, and strongly incurved ; 

 the spur proximal to it is prominent and acute. Telson is
