pointed at the lateral margin, and is continued on to the inferior 

 surface. The epigastric lobes are placed transversely and provided 

 •with small prominences. Between these and the antero-lateral 

 margin there are some elevated tubercles, arranged in a row. From 

 an area in the middle of the anterior lateral region, which is full 

 of small depressions and nearly circular in shape, another row of 

 similar tubercles runs in a curve backwards and inwards. The 

 mesogastric lobe is only distinct posteriorly by its conspicuously 

 raised surface. The middle area of the antero-branchial lobes is well 

 marked by the dotted elevation already referred to in the description 

 of the genus. Otherwise the surface of the carapace in the cast is 

 quite smooth, and this is also the case when the shell is preserved. 



Of this species one specimen appears with the claw belonging to 

 it, although this is incompletely preserved.' The shell of this 

 species is smooth, except a few granules on the shortest side ; the 

 cast is more or less reticulated. The claw referred to in Segerberg's 

 paper, p. 17, pi. ii, fig. 2 belongs probably to this species. Only 

 rarely met with at Annetorp and Faxe.

Of this species only one specimen was obtained from Annetorp. 

 The rostrum is not preserved. The specimen is decorticated. The 

 form of the carapace is nearly pentagonal ; breadth 26 mm. The 

 distance from the superior orbital border to the posterior margin is 

 24 mm. In front of the lateral furrow the carapace is strongly 

 arched ; behind the same it becomes narrower, with the lateral parts 

 depressed. The orbits are small, narrow, and transverse. The two 

 teeth on the inferior orbital border are of nearly equal size. The 

 antero-lateral margins commence in a line with the inferior orbital 

 border ; in front of the occipital furrow the mai'gin is marked by 

 a prominence and is curved ; behind the same it is prolonged 

 forwards into a tooth or point, but otherwise (as on the postero- 

 lateral margins) it is only faintly marked, and curved inwards. The 

 posterior margin is long and slightly curved. The occipital furrow 

 is very indistinct, particularly in its inner course. The lateral 

 furrow {SI.), on the other hand, is distinct, but very shallow, with- 

 out any well-defined margin. Behind the cardiac region there is 

 a transverse depression. Otherwise the details of the carapace are 

 fairly similar to the preceding species. 



This species is in some respects very similar to Dromia later, 

 a recent form from the West Indies.- But as only one specimen of 

 the former has been found without a rostrum, and as on the whole 

 it is nearly related to D. Icevior, I have (with some doubt) referred 

 it to the genus Dromiopsis. 



In the collections from Faxe, K. 0. Segerberg has figured a very 

 incomplete specimen, which he thinks is probably a younger form 

 of this species.
