two or three teeth, along its inner margin. "Whereas the larger 

 hand is quite smooth and glabrous, the upper and under margins 

 and the outer surface of the palm of the much smaller left hand 

 are covered with distinct granules and with sparsely distributed 

 hairs. In the smaller hand the fingers also are comparatively 

 longer than in the larger hand, being but little shorter than the 

 palm ; they are distinctly longitudinally sulcate, but are only 

 indistinctly denticulate. The mobile finger is somewhat granular 

 and hairy above near the articulation with the palm. 



Regarding the ambulatory legs, I may remark that the three 

 anterior pairs have nearly the same length, but that the last 

 pair are distinctly shorter. They are somewhat hairy, especially 

 the last three joints. The dactylopodites are almost as long 

 as the propodites, and terminate in small horny tips.

A single male specimen of this rare species was found at 

 Elphinstone Island. 



This species is closely allied to the preceding, but it presents 

 a diff'erent external appearance, on account of the antero-lateral 

 margins being comparatively much shorter in proportion to the 

 postero-lateral, and because the third antero-lateral tooth is not 

 the largest but the smallest of all, so that the cephalothorax is 

 broadest at the fourth antero-lateral teeth. 



As in Heteropanope indica, the upper surface of the cejihalo- 

 thorax is rather depressed and scarcely convex, being only some- 

 what declivous towards the anterior and lateral margins. The 

 cephalothorax, however, is a little less enlarged, the proportion
