Numerous specimens of this species were taken during the 
expedition ; one male from Station 5, and many others, male and 
female, from the Stations near the Chatham Islands, while. 
according to Mr. Waite, enormous bags were taken in Petre and 
Hanson Bays. (Introduction, p. 53). Thev agree well with the 
description given in Miers’ Catalogue. 
The dimensions of the largest specimen are:—Length of 
earapace 85mm., breadth of carapace 105mm. 
The species is widely distributed, being found in Austraha, 
and also on the coast of Chil, Cape of Good Hope, and

One small female specimen from Station 29; length of 
carapace 17mm., greatest breadth 35mm. This specimen agrees

In describing his specimen Filhol discusses the question as to 
whether it may be the female of O. macgillivrayit White, from 
Australia, but on account of various differences which he points 
out comes to the conclusion that this can hardly. be the case. 
During the ‘‘Challenger’’ expedition one young male and two 
small egg-bearing females were taken in New Zealand seas, and 
these Miers referred to O. macgillivrayi. He pointed out,
