Two specimens from Durban, sent me by Mr. Bell Marley, agree 
well with the figures and descriptions of this species furnished by Dana 
and Aleock. Both authors call attention to the character that ‘“ the 
joints of the distal half of the antennal flagellum have the antero- 
internal angle produced.” Also both mention the broad maroon stripe 
across the merus and carpus of the second and third perzeopods, which 
appears to be very persistent in spirit. Dana remarks that the 
chelipeds are only “‘ moderately unequal,” and Alcock points out that 
this is the case ‘especially in the female” a remark not specially 
confirmed by the Durban female specimen, which Mr. Bell Marley 
informs me inhabited the shell of Lotoriwm oleartwm. In the male 
specimen the very hirsute left chela is much darker than the right. 
Of one large specimen Mr. Bell Marley notes its springing in and out 
of the covering shell when alarmed, and that the pleon was ‘‘ banded 
deep red.”

The specimen from Durban, for which I am indebted to Mr. Bell 
Marley, was occupying a land shell (Livinicia kraussit) he informs me. 
It agrees well with the description of the species given by -Milne- 
Edwards. The eyes are short and stout, widest at the cornea, The
