36 DE. J. G. DE MAJ!f UlS" THE PODOPHTHALMOUS 



breadtli of the Djeddali specimen is 13| niillim. The individual 

 from Sullivan Island belongs to the variety melanodacti/la, the 

 fingers being dark-coloured with white tips. The right leg is 

 largest. The frontal margin is armed between the dentiform 

 internal orbital angles, on each side of the median furrow, with 

 five small acute teeth : the first, third, and fiftli are of equal size, 

 the second and fourth a little smaller ; the first or median teeth 

 are a little more prominent than the others. 



C^i/mo Andreossyi, with the variety melanodactyla, is distributed 

 throughout the Eed Sea, the Indian Ocean, the Malayan archi- 

 pelago, as far as the Piji and Samoa Islands.

Three rather young specimens were collected at King Islimd. 

 I am indebted to Dr. P. Meinert of Copenhagen for an ex- 

 cellent photograph of the typical specimen of Tabricius's Cancer 

 Sumphii, collected by Daldorff on the coast of Tranquebar. 

 After having compared these specimens with that figure, I was 

 led to the conclusion that they belong to Menippe BumpMi, Fabr. 

 I then sent one of them to Dr. Hilgendorf, who informed me 

 that it was also identical with Herbst's Cancer JRumphii. As 

 had already been proved in 1872 by Prof, von Martens, I am also 

 inclined to regard Milne-Ed wards' s Pseudocarcinus Belangeri as 

 identical with the true Menippe BumpMi, Fabr., whereas Pseudo- 

 carcinus Eumphii, M.-Edw., is doubtless a diiferent species. 

 I have before me an adult male specimen oi Menippe BumpMi, 



Fabr., collected on the coast of Atjeh, and I may now add 



the following particulars to the existing descriptions of this 



species. 



Menippe BumpMi, Fabr,, really belongs to the genus Menippe, 



because the peduncle of the external antennae occupies the
