CRUSTACEA NORTH PACIFIC EXPLORIN'G EXPEDITIOX 223 



tips of fingers paler. Ambulatory feet red. with three or four broad, 

 bluish-white transverse bars. Length usually about two or three 

 inches. 



The expedition specimen was taken on a muddy bottom in ten 

 fathoms in Awatska Ba}', Kamchatka. It is identical with those 

 found on the northeast coast of America.

Bupagurus pilosipes Stimpson, Proc. Acad. Nat. Sci. Phila., x, p. 249 [87], 

 1858. 



Rostriform point of the front setose. Feet very hairy. Right 

 cheliped spinulose above ; carpus with a smooth, shallow longi- 

 tudinal groove near the inner margin, wdiich is spinous ; hand elon- 

 gated, tapering, sparsely but regularly covered with spiniform tuber- 

 cles. Left cheliped spinulose above; carpus distinctly grooved; fin- 

 gers of the hand twice as long as the palm, and broadly gaping. 

 Ambulatory feet longitudinally vittate with red ; dactyli a little 

 shorter than the penult joint. Length, one inch. 



It is very near B. hirsutiuscuhis, but the ambulatory feet are vit- 

 tate with red throughout, the fingers of the smaller hand gaping, and 

 the granules of the large cheliped spiniform. It dift'ers from E. 

 samuclis in its narrower and more tapering right hand ; from E. 

 piibescciis in the more slender left hand and much shorter dactyli of 

 the ambulatory feet. 



Found at Loo Choo.

This species was first described h\ Dana from specimens taken on 

 the west coast of North America. We add below remarks upon some 

 points which become necessary to distinguish it from allied species 

 herein described. 



It is a variable s])ecies, usually very hairy, particularly on the am- 

 bulatory feet ; the chelipeds are often almost naked. It also varies 

 somewhat in llu' pn iportinus i>f the carpus and hand in the right
