The arms project slightly beyond tlie upper surface of tlie cephalo- 

 thorax, and are trihedrous ; their three margins are minutely 

 granular ; the inner surface and the anterior surface are smooth, 

 but the outer presents a few scattered granules. The internal 

 surface is slightly concave, the other two are flattened and 

 even. As in Dotilla myctiroides, the carpopodite is elongate, 

 being about as long as the length of the cephalothorax ; its upper 

 surface has an elongate-rhomboidal form. The carpopodite has 

 wholly smooth upper, inner, and under surfaces, which are 

 separated from one another by minutely granulated margins ; 

 it is armed at its internal proximal angle with a strongly com- 

 pressed, though rather obtuse, tooth. Scopimera inflata is also 

 described as being armed with a spine on the carpopodite of its 

 anterior legs. Immediately behind this compressed tooth a small 

 tuft of short hairs is observed, and the slightly convex upper 

 surface of the wrist presents a small impression at the internal 

 proximal angle close to this tooth. The hands (fig. 10) are similar 

 to those of Seloecius. They are about once and a half as long 

 as the distance of the external orbital angles, and nearly three 

 times as long as the greatest width (height) of the palm, the fingers 

 being included. The fingers are shorter than the palm ; for they 

 are in proportion to the length of the latter as 3| : 5|^. The slightly 

 convex outer surface of the palm is quite smooth and glabrous j 

 it is marked, however, with a longitudinal minutely granulated 

 line running close and parallel to the flattened under margin, 

 upon the outer surface of the immobile finger, close to its tip. 

 The under margin of the palm is bordered and separated from 

 the smooth, or nearly smooth, convex inner surface by a second 

 longitudinal, minutely granulated line, which is continued along 

 the inferior margin of the immobile finger. These two minutely 

 granulated lines are nearly parallel. The fingers are quite 

 smooth on their outer and inner surfaces. The mobile finger, 

 however, presents a minutely granulated line along its upper 

 margin, and, as I have already remarked, the outer surface of the 

 immobile finger is marked with a similar line proceeding upon it 

 from the outer surface of the palm ; and its inner surface presents 

 also a minutely granulated line continued to the tip. The lower 

 finger is nearly in a straight line with the under margin of 

 the palm, being scarcely or not at all deflexed. The sharp inner 

 edo-es of the fingers are minutely crenulate along their whole
