her key to the Cyclometopa of North America 1 Miss 

 Rathbun gives the names of three new species/of Lopho- 

 panopeus from the Pacific coast, Lophopanopeus Locking- 

 toni and diegensis from San Diego, Calif., and L, Heathii 

 from Monterey. Fuller accounts of these species, it is 

 stated, are soon to appear in the Proceedings of the United 

 States National Museum. Lophopanopeus Heathii has the 

 carpus of the chelipeds smooth, or nearly so, as in fron- 

 talis, but the color of the pollex does not extend back 

 upon the hand. Diegensis and LocMngtoni have the 

 carpus very rough as in leucomanus. Lockingtoni is said 

 to be distinguished from leucomanus and diegensis by 

 the slightly bilobed carpal joints of the ambulatory 

 legs; diegensis has the carpus of the chelipeds covered 

 with tubercles and not with reticulating ridges as in 

 leucomanus. 



A new species of Cancer, G. Jordani from Monterey, 

 is also announced in the same paper. In this species 

 the fronto-orbital width is nearly half the width of the 

 carapace. The carapace is slightly areolated and the 

 antero-lateral teeth are strong and projecting. The 

 carpus of the chelipeds has two spines at the inner 

 angle, the one above the other. Cancer Anthonyi is 

 reported in the key from the region between Monterey 

 and San Diego; it was originally described from Playa 

 Maria Bay, west coast of Lower California. 2 Miss Rath- 

 bun does not recognize the genus Trichocarcinus as dis- 

 tinct from Cancer.
