PAGURUS LJ2VIS. 185 



ovate, convex, slightly granulated, polished, with two 

 small obsolete approximating tubercles near the base ; the 

 remaining second and third pairs of feet compressed ; the 

 joints carinated and slightly spinous above ; the terminal 

 joint long, slender, and slightly curved. 



The general colour is yellowish testaceous, and there is 

 a distinct red mark extending the whole length of the 

 hand and bifurcating towards the fingers. 



The specimens taken by Mr. Thompson at Portaferry 

 were very small, and being contracted by drying and 

 otherwise injured, afforded but little opportunity for a 

 minute description. Having, however, recently obtained 

 several large and perfect specimens amongst other Paguri 

 from Falmouth, through the kindness of Mr. Corks, I am 

 enabled to give the above description, and to add to the 

 locality afforded by Mr. Thompson, that of the coast of 

 Cornwall.
