the greater cheliped is granulated; meros- joint with a single promi- 

 nent tubercle near the middle. The small cheliped extends to or a 

 little beyond the extremity of the greater carpus ; it is ridged along 

 the middle, spinulose and hairy ; spinules longest on the carpus ; hand 

 rather swollen exteriorly, with a depression on the right side of the 

 palm above; fingers long and somewhat gaping. Ambulatory feet 

 rather compressed; superior edge of carpal joint armed with four or 

 five spinules ; dactyli not contorted, slightly longer than the penult 

 joint; unguicle or tip long and slender. 



The colors in the alcoholic specimen are light yellow and red, ar- 

 ranged in broad, transverse bands or annulations on the feet ; middle 

 of the dactyli whitish, base and tips red. Length of the animal, 1.6; 

 length of carapax, 0.35 ; breadth of front, 0.16; length of right cheli- 

 ped, 0.96 inch. 



Allied to B. granosimanus of the opposite shores of the Pacific, 

 from which it differs in its narrower carapax, more acute and promi- 

 nent rostriform point, and in the sharper granules of the right 

 cheliped. 



Found at the island of Kikaisima, in a small harbor on its southern 

 coast.

Paguriis (Bupagurus) middendorfHi Brandt, in A'liddendorff's Sibirische 

 Reise, Zoologie, p. 108, pi. v, figs. 1-16. 



This species is easily recognized among other North Pacific £«- 

 paguri by the smooth and even surface of its chelipeds, and its very 

 slender ambulatory feet. There are no tubercles on the lower sur- 

 face of the meros-joint of the great cheliped. 



Our specimens were found in Hakodadi Bay, Japan.
