A female apparently adulfc, and a very young individual in sliells 

 {Murex ?)^ overgrown by an E-pizoanthus. 



The larger specimen lias lost its Jibdoraen, but tlie oarapace moa- 

 sures 10 mm, in length. 



Both the median and lateral frontal projections arc prominent 

 and subacute, the median being somewhat better marked tlum the 

 lateral. The eye-stalks are rather short, while tlie narrow and acute 

 ophthalmic scales are separated by a somewhat narrow interval. 

 The external prolongation of the second*joint of the antennal pedun- 

 cle, and the autennal acicle, are both well developed ; the antennal 

 flagellum is not twice the length of the carapace, and is fringed with 

 long hairs. 



The chelipedes and ambulatory legs have a dense covering of lon<>- 

 yellowish hairs on their upper surface. Tiie right chelipede is stouter 

 but only slightly longer than the left; its fingers move in a horizontal 

 plane, and have horny tips. The carpal and propodal joints siiow a 

 fevv acute denticles scattered among the hairs on the upper surface. 

 The dactyli of the ambulatory legs are provided with yellow horny 

 apices. 



I hesitate to describe this species under a new name as the sing'e 

 adult specimen is very incomplete, and it is impossible to ascertaitt 

 whether sexual appendages were present or not. If the species is an 

 Ewpagariis, as is seems to be, it is probably new, and is chiefly charac- 

 terised by the forai of its chelipedes, and the strongly marked 

 pubescence. » 



17. Glaucothoe. 



Station 150, off the North Maldive Atoll, depth 719 fathoms. 

 A single example measuring about 20 mm. in length. 



The right chelipede is granulated and considerably larger than the 

 left. The abdomen is slighly folded on itself perhups accidentally, 

 bat is not spirally twisted. The species agrees with G. peronii, Milne- 

 Edwards (Ann. Sci. Nat, t. XIX. p. 334, pi. Vlll. 1830), in its un- 

 equal clielipedes, Avhereas in G. rostrata, Miers, and G. carinata, Hen- 

 derson, they are equal. It is distinguished from Milne-Edwards' species 

 by the granulation of the larger chelipede, the presence of a rather 

 broad median frontal projection, and by the greater length of the 

 ambulatory (or possibly swimming) dactyli, which in Milne-Edwards' 

 figure are represented as about equal in length to the propodi, while ir. 

 our example they are fully one and a half times as long. :\lilue- 

 Ed wards' example was also considerably smaller.
