Two specimens (males) were collected— one in Ousima Harbour 

 at 8 fathoms on a bottom of sandy mud and broken shells, the other 

 in at. 34° 6' N., long. 136° 15' E., at a depth of 1 1 fathoms. 



Ihis species has not, so far as I know, been recorded elsewhere 

 than in the seas of Eastern Asia. Specimens are in the British 

 Museum from the Philippines.

A single specimen, in which all the legs (except the fifth natatory 

 legs) are wanting, and without definite locality, is in the collection. 



It seems evident that the name of variegatvm should be retained 

 for this species, as Milne-Edwards, who was the first to apply to it 

 Herbst's later name of callianassa, considers the variegatum as only 

 a marked variety of the same species. There is a specimen from 

 Hong-Kong m the British-Museum collection,

Three specimens, of small size (two males and a female), of Por-
