The external side of the hands has two spines, the ante* 

 rior of which is the largest. The granulated hinder margin 

 does not reach to the spine, but terminates in an elevation* 

 The lateral spines are straight, or slightly inclined forwards,

A short distance behind the lateral spine is a very strong 

 tubercle, in which the granulated margin terminates. Three 

 spines are found in the outer part of the hand ; of these, 

 the middle is the largest. The lateral spine is generally 

 liorizontal. 



I have said nothing of the colour, when speaking of the 

 species, since each is subject to such variety that it ceases 

 to be a character. Matuta limaris, of Avhich I have seen 

 about eighteen specimens, is the only one that is constant 

 in this character.
