of hairs near the tip and a row along the cutting edge ; fixed 

 finger has corresponding tufts and also one on each side about the 

 middle. Carpus is as broad as long, expanded distally, with a 

 prominent angle above, length about half the palm of chela ; little 

 more than a third of merus. Merus is rather stout, breadth to 

 length about 1:1.4; outer distal angle acute. Chela of second 

 pair of legs (fig. 2/") elongated ; fingers acute, a little longer than 

 the palm; dactyl with a small tuft of hairs on middle of outer 

 margin, and two apical ; pollex has three longer tufts and a small 

 apical one. Carpus and merus slender ; merus is as long as first 

 four carpal articles. 



Legs of third pair are not very stout ; merus is long ; width to 

 length as 1:5; carpus about half as long ; it has a prominent 

 dentiform angle above, and a slender movable spine below ; 

 propodus is slender, width to length, 1:7; it has seven slender 

 spines besides the two distal ones. Dactyl (fig. 2/'") is slender, 

 sides nearly parallel, slightly curved, width to length about 1:4; 

 hooks slender, nearly parallel, not divergent, outer one longer. 

 Legs of fifth pair (fig. 2 I') are smaller and more slender with the 

 carpus relatively longer, dactyl similar but more curved and the 

 hooks longer ; propodus as long as merus ; merus half as long as 

 three terminal articles combined ; propodus has a long series of 

 brush-hairs. 



The telson is broad, tapering but little ; distal end is wide, a 

 little convexly rounded, and bears numerous plumose hairs, and 

 two small spines at each angle; dorsal surface has a wide sulcus 

 and four small appressed spines, wide apart. This species is one 

 of the largest of the genus. The specimens above described are 

 the largest that I have seen. 



It is rather common at the Bermudas, in holes in dead corals, 

 etc., and among sponges. Its range, as recorded, is from Cape 

 Hatteras to Bahia, Brazil, and probably farther south. Beaufort, 

 N. C. (Kingsley, Hay and Shore). Off St. Thomas, 20 to 30 

 fathoms (Rathbun) ; Fort Macon and Beaufort, N. C. ; West 

 Florida, Dominica I. etc. (Yale Mus.) Florida, Antilles and Bahia, 

 etc. (Coutiere). 



In life, specimens taken April i8th, in Castle Harbor, in dead 

 corals, had the body translucent yellowish white with a green 

 anterior patch (due probably to green ova showing through). 

 Large chela translucent gray, with the fingers orange; a white
