One of our specimens has the carapace handsomely orna- 

 mented with a complex pattern of narrow red lines on a yellow- 

 ish ground. The general direction of the lines is longitudinal, 

 interrupted here and there by narrow, more or less symmetrical 

 loopings. A series of three lines runs parallel to the antero- 

 lateral margin, and at the front end converge, together with the 

 adjacent longitudinal lines into the orbit. Lockington (1. c.) de- 

 scribes several color-varieties of this species from Monterey, Cal., 

 one of which is '* yellow with narrow red stripes, giving it a 

 zebra-like appearance." This is no doubt the variety before us, 

 though the complexity of the pattern is hardly sufficiently indi- 

 cated by the epithet " zebra-like." Miss M. S. Rathbun has 

 been good enough to inform me that there are similar specimens 

 in the U. S. National Museum at Washington.

A single male specimen lacking both chelipeds and some of 

 the ambulatory legs is referred to this species. I have been 

 able to compare it with two specimens dredged in Yokohama 

 Bay by Professor D'Arcy Thompson, and also with three speci- 

 mens from the Strassburg Museum identified by Dr. Ortmann 

 (1. c.) and sent to us by the great kindness of Professor L.
