Professor Gardiner's collection contains a number of specimens of a Coralliocaris 

 which is related to C. superha but diifers from it in the following points : 



(i) The rostrum is much narrower than in C. superha, and is at least as long 

 as the antennular stalk, generally considerably longer. 



(ii) The rostral formula is ^^, generally ^. 



(iii) The third maxilliped, though it is broader than in Fericlimenes, is considerably 

 narrower than in C. superha. 



(iv) The hand of the first leg is longer, slender, and hairless, and its fingers are 

 not more than half the length of the palm. 



(v) The legs of the second, pair are unequal, and the arm bears below at the end 

 a flange with a sharp point. The wrist bears a tooth on the inner side, but the little 

 teeth found on the upper side in C. superha are wanting. The smaller chela is of simple 

 form, with the fingers nearly as long as the palm. 



This species is probably the C. superha var. japonica of Ortmann.
