the test). A similar form of rostrum, with lateral teeth placed 

 closely together at the base, is also found in recent species of 

 Munida, e.g. ill. force'ps, Milne-Ed w.* 



Lundgren says, in the description of Galathea atrigifera, " that 

 the lateral parts, defined by the above-mentioned curved lines, are 

 granulated, and that the middle one is most prominent." This 

 shows probably that Lundgren, amongst his specimens of Galathea, 

 had also the above described species of Munida.

The carapace is circular or pentagonal, a little broader than long, 

 much arched in front, flatter behind. The rostrum is triangular 

 and bent downwards, with a shallow sulcus or furrow along the
