REPORT 



ON THE 



ANOMURA 



COLLECTED BY MR. JAMES HORNELL 



AT 



OKHAMANDAL IN KATTIAWAR IN 1905-6, 



BY 



T. SOUTHWELL, A.R.C.Sc. (London), F.L.S., 

 Naturalist to the Ceylon Company of Pearl Fishers, Limited. 



[With One Plate.] 



The present collection of Anomura, though but a small one, is exceedingly 

 interesting for two reasons. First, as showing the considerable degree of variation 

 present in certain species of the family Galatheidse, and secondly, the large size 

 of many individuals conveys to us some idea under what luxuriant conditions 

 they must have lived. 



In all there are thirteen species, representing seven genera, and two of these 

 species are new, viz., Porcellana gaehwari and Polyonyx hendersoni. 



The following is a list of species in the collection : — 



Diogenes investigatoris, Alcock. 

 Clihanarius infraspinatus, Hilgendorf. 

 Clihanarius humulis, Dana. 

 Porcellana serratifrons, Stimpson. 

 Porcellana gaekwari, n. sp. 

 Porcellana tuberculosa^ Milne-Edwards. 



1 The opportunity afforded by this report has been taken advantage of to include reference to 

 several species from the Ceylon Pearl Banks, not previously described from that district. — T.S.
