368 Dr. J. G. de Man on a Species of 



witli only their dactyli beyond the scaphocerites, and their 

 meropodites are only seven times instead of twelve times as 

 long as broad (compare de Man, I. c. fig. 69 c, with tig. 7 of 

 this paper). 



The examination of the type specimen of Pal. (Eupalcemon) 

 wolte7-storjffi^ Nob., kindly sent me by the Directors of the 

 Museum at Magdeburg, enables me to add the following to 

 Dr. Nobili's description in Bollet. Mus. Zoolog. di Torino, 

 vol. XV. no. 379 (1900). 



The palm of the left (larger) chelipede, 46 mm. long, is 

 4*7 mm. broad near the articulation of the fingers, 4*8 mm. in 

 the middle, and 4*9 mm. near the carpal articulation ; the 

 palm is 4*6 mm. thick in the middle. The carpus, 52 mm. 

 long, is 5*4 mm. broad at the distal extremity, 3-75 mm. in 

 the middle, and 2'8 mm. at the proximal end ; this joint is 

 5 mm. thick at the distal extremity. The carpus of the right 

 leg, 43 mm. long, is 4 mm. broad and as many thick at the 

 distal extremity ; it is 2*75 mm. broad in the middle and 

 23 mm. near the proximal extremity. The palm, 34 mm. 

 long, appears 3"5 mm. broad near the articulation of the 

 fingers, 3 mm. in the middle, whereas the slightly thickened 

 proximal extremity is also 3"5 mm. broad; the palm is 

 2'9 mm. thick in the middle. The regularly and distinctly 

 tapering dactylus of the larger chelipede carries on either side 

 and close to the cutting-edge (which is not at all prominent), 

 between the tip of the finger and the second tooth (which is 

 conical, compressed, and slightly larger than the first or basal 

 tooth), eight or nine small obtuse tubercles, which much resemble 

 those of Pal. elegans, de M., a species also inhabiting the 

 island of Java. The immobile finger also gradually narrows 

 towards the tip ; its cutting-edge is more distinct, and one 

 sees close to it, though only on one (namely, the lower) 

 side, eight similar small tubercles. The fingers are glabrous 

 and are almost smooth above and below. The distal tooth of 

 the immobile finger is considerably larger than the teeth of 

 the dactylus, but also acute and conical, and the elongate 

 prominence close to the articulation is divided into four small 

 obtuse teeth, which increase in size from the first or proximal 

 one to the fourth. 



The fingers of the smaller chelipede agree with those of 

 the other. The dactylus carries, close to the cutting-edge, on 

 the lower side of the chela, eight, on the upper side six 

 tubercles, similar to those of the larger leg; the immobile 

 finger bears seven of these tubercles on the lower side and 

 one oidy on the upper side of the chela, close to the more
