494 DR. R. O. CUNNINGHAM ON THE REPTILES, 
30. ACANTHOCYCLUS GAYI, Edw. and Luc. 
This species was taken plentifully under stones in rock-pools at Lota, and resisted cap- 
ture most fiercely, giving the most savage nips with its great right or left hand. 
31. BELLIA PICTA, Edw. 
l only obtained this species at Lota. The British-Museum specimens are labelled 
“Peru.” 
32. PsEUDOCORYSTES ARMATUS, Edw. 
This appears to be not uncommon on the coast of Chili. I obtained specimens of it at 
Lota and in Herradura Bay. 
33. PELTARION SPINULOSUM, White. 
This species is common in the neighbourhood of Punta Arenas, in the Strait of Ma- 
gellan, where it burrows in the sandy beaches; and I dredged it in various localities 
between Punta Arenas and the eastern entrance. | 
ANOMURA. 
34. LiTHODEs ANTARCTICA, Homb. and J acq. 
This species, which attains a large size, is abundant in the Strait of Magellan, and 
appears to extend as far north as Chiloe, on the west coast of South America. The young 
individuals differ most strikingly from the old ones in the much greater spininess of the 
carapace. Old individuals much resemble L. arctica in their general appearance. Like 
that species, the L. antarctica is very sluggish in its movements, crawling slowly about 
over the stones or among the stems of the Macrocystis. A great number of young spe- 
cimens were seen in Borja Bay in J anuary 1867. 
35. LITHODES VERRUCOSA, Dana. 
This species, which is perhaps not truly distinct from L. granulosa, Homb. and Jacq., 
is common in the eastern portion of the Strait of Magellan (I do not think I ever ob- 
served it to the west of Cape Negro); and we also met with it in great numbers at the 
Tyssen Islands, Falkland Sound. Like the L. antarctica it inhabits shallow water; and 
it is even more inactive than that species in its movements. 
36. ALBUNEA, sp. 
Dead specimens of a species of this genus were met with in Herradura Bay, on the 
coast of Chili, in August 1867; but I have not found them among my collections at the. 
British Museum. 
97. REMIPES SCUTELLATUS, Fabr. 
. À live specimen of this species was taken at St. Vincent, in the Cape-Verdes, in 
October 1866. It was found burrowing in the sand of the beach.
