has 48 red spots visible in a dorsal view of the carapace ; the Ceylon 2 
has also 48 spots approximately, but it is difficult to count the number 
accurately, as they are in a very faded condition.

All the specimens have a uniformly fine granulation on the antero-lateral 
margin of the carapace ; there are no denticles on this margin such as Nobili 
describes for his small 9 (C.l. 7-5 mm.) from Djibouti, and looked upon by 
him as a condition of youth. 
In the larger ¢ specimen the hands are similar. In the smaller g and in 
the @ specimens there is a good deal of difference between the hands, the 
right being in each case much more massive than the left, though not much 
longer. In specimens 380 and 381 the fixed finger of the less massive left 
hand bears on its distal half 3 spiniform teeth, of which the middle one is the 
largest, in the small ¢ 379 the proximal of the three teeth is absent. In
