CRUSTACEA OP THE MEEGUI ARCHIPELAGO. 13 



direction of the spines of the autero-lateral and posterior margins, 

 by the upper surface of the carapace being scarcely tuberculate, 

 by the minutely granulate hands, and, finally, by the much more 

 elongated legs. 



I have much pleasure in dedicating this new Boclea to Pro- 

 fessor Anderson. 



3. DOCLEA, Sp. 



The Collection contains two other much smaller male speci- 

 mens of a Doclea, also collected in the Mergui Archipelago. 



These Doclece are somewhat allied to the former species, but 

 may be distinguished by the following characters : — first, the 

 three anterior teeth of the antero-lateral margins are rather 

 obtuse, being, however, also equal in length, but the last spine 

 is comparatively much longer ; secondly, the two minute, scarcely 

 prominent median tubercles with which the upper surface 

 of the cephalothorax of D. Andersoni is provided are repre- 

 sented in these specimens by two rather strong spines ; and, 

 thirdly, the second pair of legs are comparatively shorter 

 than in that species. 



As regards the shape of the carapace and the relative length 

 and shape of the joints of the ambulatory legs, these specimens 

 closely resemble D. Andersoni. The cephalothorax of the larger 

 individual is 16 millim. long and 17 millim. broad; the three 

 anterior teeth of the antero-lateral margins are scarcely 1 millim. 

 long, but the acute posterior tooth, which is directed slightly 

 forward and upward, measures 3| millim. The legs of the second 

 pair, measuring 54- millim., are only a little longer than three 

 times the length of the cephalothorax. 



The carapace of the younger specimen is only 8| millim. long 

 and 9 millim. broad. In this individual the two median spines, 

 on the middle of the upper surface of the cephalothorax, are 

 comparatively still longer, and the last tooth of the antero- 

 lateral margins is 3 millim. long, so that it measures about a 

 third of the breadth of the carapace. The second pair of legs 

 are 25 millim. long, and thus precisely three times as long as 

 the length of the cephalothorax. The median spine of the 

 posterior margin is comparatively as long in these specimens as 

 in D. Andersoni. 



Finally I may add that in these specimens, as in the preceding 

 species, the upper surface of the cephalothorax, especially of the
