Genus EMERITA, Meuschen, 1778. 
See under the preceding reference. The specimen there named 
Emerita emeritus should probably be transferred to the following 
species. 
Emerita astaticus (Milne-Edwards).

209.

1912. #H.a., Lenz. Arkiv. for Zoologi, vol. vii, no. 29, p. 5. 
For this species Milne-Edwards gives a confused reference to Herbst, 
the difficulty being caused by the fact that Herbst in describing his 
Cancer emeritus refers it to plate 22, fig. 4, while on the plate itself 
it is fig. 3, which answers to his description. 
The small specimen collected by Mr. A. L. Bevis, and the very large 
one, with carapace 35 mm. long, obtained by Mr. D. R. Boyce, alike 
have the terminal joint of the first pereeopod as described by Nobili, 
lanceolate, with acute apex and denticulate margins. They agree too 
with the descriptions of the three spines on the second antenne, of 
which the median is much the largest, and the antero-internal lobe on 
the fourth (meral) joint of the third maxillipeds is broadly rounded, 
practically though not verbally in agreement with the description by 
Miers. ‘he carapace is very convex, as Miers and Nobili say, though 
in the Durban specimens scarcely to be called very narrow. The 
second antenne by their flagella agree much better with the figure 
given by Miers for #. emeritus, than with that for 2. asiaticus. 
Locality : Durban Bay.
