 The South African specimen compleltely agrees with Bell's 

 description of this well-known species- It has the two pairs of 

 lateral spines of the carapace well developed and very acute; the 

 arm or fourth joint of the chelipedhas the small spine near the 

 middle of its upper side, and a similar spine on the inner margin of 

 the fifth joint; the chelipeds are nearly alike, but that on the right 

 side shows a cavity between the fingers in their proximal half, while 

 that on the left side has the fingers close together in their whole 

 length. The colouring, as in English specimens, is more red- 

 dened across the upper half of the carapace, and paler, yellowish 

 on the lower half- Latreille and Milne-Edwards were disposed 

 to unite this species with the earlier Cancer rJwmboidcs^ Linn,,, 

 which is distinguished from it by having no lower lateral spine 

 on the carapace, or at most, a little tubercle in its place. It must 

 be admitted that the distinction, though marked, is not by itself 

 highly important. Yet there is some convenience in retaining 

 both specific names, as is done by Milne-Edwards, Carus, and 

 others.
