Log. Trengganu. 



One male and two females. 



The pectinated ridges are less developed in the females, and 

 without black tips to the teeth. In the larger female, of which 

 only the right chelipede is pi'esent, the tubercles on the finger are 

 rather worn, and seem, in consequence, a little more confluent than 

 usual ; they are 11-12 in number, the first two at the base of the 

 finger being very small. The carapace, moreover, in this individual 

 has a genei'ally smoother aspect than in the other two, due to the 

 relative scantiness of the small hairs, notabl}' on the fore part of 

 the carapace. 



(N.B. — In regard to the wearing of the tubercles in the female, 

 compare de Man, Zool. Jahrb. ix. p. 183.)

Four males and two females, one of the latter with ova. I have

 the larger males only shows ten sharp tubercles on . the upper
