Decapod Crustacea of Bermuda, Part II. 117 



in the male. The dactyl is nearly straight proximally, with 

 sinuous edges, but is strongly arched distally to the acute tip ; its 

 plunger (fig. ic') is compressed, oblique, not very long. 



The smaller chela (pi. 37, 2c; pi. 38, fig. ic" ; pi. 40, fig. 2c) 

 is but little wider than the carpus ; its palm is oblong with borders 

 only slightly convex ; length is about one and three-fourths times 

 its height; length to that of dactyl about 1.75: i to 1.6: i. Both 

 fingers have two small, acute, unequal teeth at the tip. 



The fixed finger is a little bent down and the dactyl is arched 

 its entire length, more so distally. The dactyl bears on each side 

 a large, dense, longitudinal plume of long curved hairs, turned 

 forward, and a row of small hairs on the cutting edge ; also two 

 small tufts at the tip. The fixed finger has a small tuft on each 

 side at about the distal third, and a terminal longer tuft. The 

 carpus is distally nearly as wide as the chela, but narrow proxi- 

 mally, about one and two-thirds or one and one-half longer than 

 wide, and about one-half the total length of the chela. The merus 

 is stout, about three times as long as wide, and about as wide in 

 the middle as the distal part of the carpus; its length is about 

 equal to the sum of the carpus and palm. 



The legs of the second pair are slender (pi. 37, fig. i. 1" ; pi. 38, 

 fig. i, 1"; pi. 40, fig. 2d) ; the chela is but little wider than the 

 carpus, and the palm is slightly convex above; fixed finger is 

 nearly straight below ; dactylus is gently arched, acute ; both 

 fingers are very hairy ; dactyl has about three tufts of long hairs 

 on each side, and fixed fingers about four larger tufts. Carpus 

 is about two to two and one- fourth times longer than chela ; first 

 article is about equal to the sum of all the others ; second, third, 

 and fourth are short, nearly equal, a little wider than long, distal 

 end of fifth with an angular tooth ; fifth article is about as long as 

 the palm of chela. Merus is about as long as the sum of the first 

 four carpal articles. 



Legs of the third pair (pi. 38, fig. i, 1'", V" x; pi. 40, fig. 2e) 

 are rather stout; the dactyl is short, thick, incurved, with two 

 small, unequal, apical claws, inner one about half as long as outer 

 and a little more curved; the notch between them is rounded at 

 bottom; proximal breadth is about one-half the length of the 

 dactyl. Two or three spines of the propodus stand at its base. 

 Propodus has a row of about eight spines besides the two or three 

 apical ones ; its length is about five times its width. The carpus
