Professor Smith later (1886) noted rather wide variations in the 

 species that he described (see Ann. Rep. U. S. Fish Comm. for 

 1885), and suggested that it might prove to be the same as L. Pour- 

 talesii. 



His figure, however, differs much from that of M. -Edwards', espe- 

 cially in the much more spinulose lateral and postero-lateral margins; 

 the much less prominent tubercles on the medial line ; different 

 areolations; and narrower front and rostrum. But the chelipeds are 

 much more alike in both figures, than either is like those of the 

 Bermuda form. 



Stimpson's specimens were from off Florida, in 40-107 fathoms. 

 Straits of Florida, in 95-116 fath. (M.-Edwards). Off east coast 

 of United States {L. VerrUlii), in -5 9-6*7 fathoms.
