Stations 2, 21, 22, 25, 36, 41, 42, 57. 



Carapace strongly spinose, about one-tenth longer than broad. 

 Regions well-defined, convex, limited by wide grooves, which are 

 nioi'e or less interrupted by elevations ; between the latter are 

 situated narrow pit-like depressions ; anteriorly they are few, 

 large and isolated, posteriorly they are numerous, small, segregate 

 and somewhat plicate, especially on the boundaries of the cardiac 

 and intestinal regions. Body sparsely clothed with hooked setse ; 

 a few also occur on the upper, surfaces of the limbs. 



Carapace and legs more or less covered with very short stiff 

 setfe ; the latter on the ambulatory legs arise from small bead-like 

 granules, occasionally they spring from the summit but generally 

 from the base ; these setae are directed towards the distal extremi- 

 ties of the limbs. The granules on the hands of the chelipedes 

 are smaller and closer than elsewhere, and are devoid of setae. 

 The setfe are so minute that they can only be seen with a lens, 

 and in no way interfere with the apparent smoothness of the body 

 and limbs, yet they are very evident to the touch. 



Rostral spines tapering, straight, acute, separated by a narrow 

 V-shaped space, 20 mm. deep and 12 mm. wide at the summit. 



The larger spines on the carapace are disposed as follows : — 



1. A median series of four, two on the gastric, one on the 

 cardiac and one on the intestinal region. 



2. A submedian series of twelve, arranged transversely in six 

 pairs, of which two pairs are situated on the interorbital space- 

 in a line with the rostral spines, two on the gastric region, one 

 on the cardiac and one on the posterior border. There are also 

 two obliquely placed pairs on the anterior intestinal region. 



Inner oi'bital border smooth, prominent, terminating outwardly 

 in a strong curved spine, the upper surface bearing two irregular 

 rows of spiniform granules ; inner orbital fissure wide, outer
