CRUSTACEA NORTH PACIFIC EXPLORING EXPEDITION 213 



less well marked than in F. turgidns. The color of the animal, in 

 alcoholic specimens, is light brick-red ; in parts whitish ; eye pednn- 

 cles with a red vitta. Length, three inches ; length of carapax in the 

 male, 0.81 ; breadth of the front, 0.4; length of cheliped, 1.17 inches. 

 Found at Hakodadi, on the island of Jesso. It much resembles 

 P. turgidus from the opposite coast of the Pacific, from which it 

 may be distinguished by the sculptured surface of the movable finger 

 of the hand.

 large, much longer than the posterior, with a punctate surface, and 

 armed with a few minute spines at the sides. Median plate or car- 

 diac scutella of the posterior region rather short, somewhat con- 

 tracted near the base, and blunt at the posterior extremity. Ros- 

 trum long and slender, tapering, with its very sharp extremity curv- 

 ing downward and reaching beyond the middle of the ophthalmic 

 scales. Frontal sinuses very deep for the reception of the bases of 

 the eye peduncles. Eyes very stout for the genus, but long, con- 

 siderably longer than the front is wide, and much overreaching the 

 peduncle of the antennuke. Apex of the ophthalmic scale slender, 

 very sharp, curving outward ; margins entire, smooth, and naked. 

 Antennae shorter than the carapax ; flagellum sparsely provided with 

 fine, short hairs ; acicle large and nearly naked, reaching to middle 

 f)f e\e-pe(luncles. Outer maxillipeds not reaching to the extremities 

 of the eyes. Chelipeds similar in form. l)ut une(}ual (the left
