 Bengal ; Malaysia (Dr. Bleeker) ; Duke of York Island (Bev. G. 

 Brown) ; Moreton Bay (purchased) ; West Hill, Queensland (J. B. 

 Juices) ; Canton Eiver (purchased) ; Fiji Islands (H.M.S. 'Herald ' 

 and U.S. Exploring Essped.) ; Samoa Islands (Bev. S. J. Whitmee). 

 The carapace and chelipedes (in dried and spirit-specimens) are 

 very prettily spotted with 'red ; but the coloration is often entirely 

 obliterated. 



37. EripMa Isevimamis, var. smithii, MacLeay. 



Glorioso Islands, from the beach and reef at low water, two 

 females (No. 220); Mozambique, between tide-marks, a small 

 female (No. 227). 



I have already remarked upon the specimens of this variety in 

 the Museum collection *, which is found . not only on the eastern 

 coast of Africa and on the Mascarene Islands, but also in the Indian 

 and Indo-Malaysian seas eastwardj at least, to New Guinea, and, 

 according to Hilgendorf, at the Tonga Islands. 



38. EripMa scabricnla, Dana. 



Mozambique, between tide-marks, a male (No. 225); Darros 

 Island, beach, a male (No. 200). 



Specimens of this species (which is always distinguishable from 

 small examples of E. Icevimanus by the narrower front ^ and wider 

 orbits, the triang-ulate and acute spines of the antero-lateral margins, 

 and the pubescent and granulated chelipedes) are in the Museum 

 collection from the Mauritius, and Eiji Islands, Ovalau, Totoya 

 (H.M.S. '■Herald'), besides others without special locality. The 

 • ambulatory legs are transversely banded with spotted reddish mark- 

 ings, which are not discernible in E. Icevimanus. The length of the 

 carapace in the largest specimen examined is only about 8 lines 

 (17 millim.). Besides several Polynesian localities, it has been re- 

 corded from the Mauritius (A. M.-Edwards), Fouquets (Bichters), 

 Madagascar (Lenz £/■ Bichters), the Sooloo Sea (Dana), and Ousima 

 Island (Stimpson). 



39. Trapezia cymodoce (Herbst). 



Of this very common species a large series of specimens was col- 

 lected at the following localities : — Seychelles, 4-12 fms. (No. 194) ; 

 African or Eagle Islands, 10 fms. (No. 184); Darros, 22 fms. 

 (Nos. 185, 233); EtoUe, 13 fms. (No. 191); Marie-Louise, 17 fms. 

 (No. 186) ; Des Neufs, 15 fms. (No. 187) ; and the Glorioso Islands, 

 7-10 fms. (No. 219). 



In a former paper f I have remarked upon the synonymy and 

 distribution of this species, and have pointed out the characters by
