Decapod Crustacea of Bermuda, Part II. 129 



article much the longest, and with a short, sharp, incurved hasal 

 spine, and a thin, linear, acute acicle, in length about equal to the 

 first joint. Its outer flagellum is stout, about half as thick as the 

 peduncle and about eight times longer than wide, and about equal 

 to the combined length of the last two articles of the stalk, and 

 about equal to the antennal scale. 



The stalk of the antenna is a little longer than the first article 

 of the antennule ; its scale is relatively very large and long, lanceo- 

 late and acute, with long marginal hairs ; it is about three and a 

 fourth times longer than the antennal stalk, and twice as long as 

 the stalk of the antennule, or about half the length of the rostrum. 

 The basicerite is short, broad, dentiform. The flagellum of the 

 antenna is long and slender; it reaches to or beyond the base of 

 the telson. 



The third maxilliped is short and blunt; about as long as the 

 first legs; its distal article is wide, flat or a little concave and 

 obtusely terminated ; its distal margin is bordered by a row of 

 about twelve or thirteen spines, alternating in size; the broad 

 surface has two larger oblique rows of stiff hairs, with a smaller 

 cluster near the tip. The carpal article is short, rather longer 

 than broad, and about half as long as the distal article. It has a 

 cluster of hairs on each distal angle, one on the suture, and an 

 oblique row on the surface distally. Part of the hairs are pinnate 

 or plumate ; part are slender and plain. The basal article is 

 stout, curved, about three times longer than the distal one ; it has 

 a cluster of hairs on each distal angle ; a long oblique row on the 

 surface along the distal third, arising from a ridge along a groove ; 

 also a series of clusters of shorter hairs on the incurved edge, and 

 an oblique row of stiff hairs near the base, and a few clusters on 

 the convex margin distally. 



Legs of the first pair are shorter and stouter than the others, 

 strongly incurved and bent down, with a short carpus and smaller 

 chela. The right and left legs are somewhat unequal as to the 

 form of the chela and carpus, and slightly in length. The longer 

 one (fig. 2, c, /), the left one in the example figured, has the merus 

 longer, about equal to the chela, and the carpus about half as long, 

 wider, obovate, hardly cup-shaped distally; the chela is strongly 

 bent inward at the base of the digits ; the palm is ovate, swollen, 

 rather longer than the dactyl ; the fixed finger is strongly bent 

 down, with the tip acute; the dactyl is wider and rather longer,
