glycerine. The larger one has small brownish spots regularly 
arranged in transverse rows: two pairs on the carapace, one pair 
anterior, one pair more widely separated, at the middle, and a 
row of four on the posterior half; a row of four on the sixth 
thoracic segment, and the first, third, and fourth abdominal seg- 
ments; a row of two on the second, fifth, and seventh abdominal 
segments. Knobs on telson olive-green, mottled. Uropods with 
a broad band of reddish-brown across the middle. Swollen part 
of chela white. The spotting of the smaller specimen is not so 
distinct and there are in addition many finer, branched spots 
down the middle of the animal, much as in Borradaile’s figure.

‘his is the variety (Borradaile, loc. cit.), in which the keels of 
the sixth abdominal segment and telson are considerably com- 
pressed ; the keels of the sixth segment are produced without 
constriction into long spines; the upper edge of the middle keel 
of the telson is produced backward into a spine; and the flukes 
of the anchor are formed by two narrow ridges running forward 
from the hinder end of that keel. The dark spots on the first 
five abdominal segments are not visible as the whole body is very 
dark in the preserved specimen except the swollen part of the 
chele, that of the manus being a deep blue, and of the dactylus a 
pinkish-red.
