R. DOUGLAS LAURIE—BRACHYURA. 473 
Locahties. Station I. A, 1 g [420], 2 2 [421, 422]; Station I. B, 1g 
[423], 3 2 [424-496]; Station I.E, 3 g [427-429], 1 ? [430]. 
Remarks. Miers observed ‘“‘ some variation in the width of the front in this 
species,” and one of the characters of his var. frontalis is its wide front, this 
being “almost three and a half times the length of the upper orbital margin.’ 
I give, therefore, the following measurements and ratios :— 
4249, 4252. 4269. 4219. 4802. 4220. | 4274. 4236. 4289. 429g. 4206.

It will be noted that the ratio greatest diameter of orbit+frontal breadth 
is less in the larger forms. In specimen 429 the ratio is as in var. frontalis, 
but the margin of the front has the characteristically sinuous. form and not 
the straight character of var. frontalis. 
Family PALICIDA. 
Genus Pattous, Philippi, 1838. 
65. Paticus waiter (Mers, 1884). See Alcock, 1900, p. 453. 
Palicus Whitei, Alcock, loc. cit. 
Palicus whitei, Rathbun, 1911, p. 240. 
Locality. Station II., 1 ¢ ovig. [431]. 
Remarks. C.l.14 mm. Although this species is easily separated from the 
allied jukesii of White by the character of the walking-legs and by other 
characters also, it should not be overlooked that there is indeed a crest or 
carina on the upper border of the carpopodites and propodites of the first 
three pairs of walking-legs, though, of course, of very slight dimensions as 
compared with that in P. jukesii; Alcock appears rather to overlook this 
point. 
Miers’s figure (Miers, 1884, pl. 49. fig. C) gives an excellent idea of the 
present specimen. 
A good account and drawings of P. white: are given by Calman (Calman, 
1900, p. 31, pl. 2. figs. 14-19).
