250 DE. J. &. DB MAN ON THE PODOPHTHALMOUS 



about fhree fourfhs of the latter ; they terminate in a black 

 pointed tip, and are armed along their under margin with a row 

 of five or six acute spinules. These legs are hairy along their 

 upper and under margins, and the two posterior legs are also 

 hairy. 



They present the following coloration : — The cephalothorax is 

 of a uniform yellowish colour, and not marked with longitu- 

 dinal lines. The eye-peduncles are each marked above with a 

 red longitudinal line, which in most specimens, however, is no 

 longer visible in consequence of the action of the alcohol. The 

 anterior legs are yellowish red, the teeth and tubercles with 

 which they are covered being yellowish white. The coloration 

 of the propodites and dactylopodites of the legs of the second 

 and of the third pairs is very characteristic. These legs present 

 the same yellowish-red colour as the chelipedes ; the outer and 

 inner surfaces of the dactylopodites are, however, of a yellowish 

 white, so that the upper margin is red and the under margin 

 often so. The white colour of the dactylopodites extends more 

 or less upon the outer and inner or upper surfaces of the pro- 

 podites, but much further upon the propodites of the third pair 

 than upon those of the second pair, often reaching in the former 

 to the proximal end of these joints. The meropodites and car- 

 popodites of the legs of the third pair also often present a 

 yellowish-white spot on their outer surfaces, but not sharply 

 defined. The specimens which were collected in the seas 

 of Chili presented, according to Heller, the same remarkable 

 coloration. 



If this species should prove to be distinct from G. aquabilis, 

 Dana, of the Atlantic region, I propose for it the name of 

 G. merguiensis. It may be distinguished, at first sight, from 

 the other Glibanarii of the Indian seas by the coloration of its 

 legs.

One young specimen was found at King Island Bay. This 

 little animal, whose cephalothorax is only 6| millim. long, is one 

 of those species in which the dactylopodites of the second and
