42 DE. J. G. DE MAN ON THE PODOPHTHALMOTTS 



the outer surface close to the articulation with the wrist. The 

 mobile finger is granular at the base of its upper margin; its 

 inner margin is armed with five or six teeth, the two basal 

 being a little larger than the others. The immobile finger 

 is armed with a large tooth, that occupies the basal half of the 

 inner margin, and with two much smaller teeth. In the smaller 

 (left) hand the outer surface of the palm is a little more granu- 

 lated than that of the right, the outer surface being also granular 

 towards the base of the immobile finger and even a little to- 

 wards the under margiu ; the mobile finger is armed much in 

 the same manner as in the other hand, but the immobile finger 

 presents six teeth, of which the fourth is much larger than the 

 others, though not so large as the large tooth of the index of 

 the right hand ; the first, second, and sixth teeth are very small. 



In the younger individuals the hands are more granulate than 

 in the adult. In a broad specimen, 39 millim., the whole outer 

 surface of the smaller hand is still granular, and the outer surface 

 of the larger hand is also nearly wholly granular. In the smallest 

 specimen, which is only 22 millim. broad, the hands are every- 

 where granular on their whole outer surface. 



As regards the ambulatory legs, which are hairy, especially on 

 the last two joints, I will only remark that the first two pairs 

 have nearly the same length, that the third pair is somewhat 

 shorter, and that the legs of the last pair are the shortest of all.

Myomenippe granulosa, A. M.-Edw., has hitherto been recorded 

 from the coast of Batavia {Milne- JEdwards) and from the seas of 

 Celebes {Silgendorf) ; this species therefore inhabits the Ma- 

 layan archipelago and the neighbouring seas. 



As regards Menijppe granulosa, Strahl (Archiv f. JSTaturg. xxvii. 

 p. 105, 1861), Prof. v. Martens has shown that this species is 

 identical with Menippe Fanope, Herbst, after an examination of 

 both the typical specimens.
