 dentate front, and its obtuse carpus.

Length of carapax of Tahiti specimen, four and one-half lines; 

 breadth, five and three-fourths lines; of specimen from the Sandwich 

 Islands, length, five lines; breadth, six lines. From either of the 

 preceding, this species differs in having the lateral tooth of the carapax 

 obtuse or obsolescent, at the same time the inner angle of the carrjus 

 is obtuse, and the front is not very strongly sinuous. The colour is 

 orange ; fingers, grayish or brownish yellow. The tarsus is shown in 

 figures /, g. The obtuse short spines at the extremity, in two parallel 

 but imperfect series, have a brownish-yellow colour, and are very dif- 

 ferent in appearance from the spines behind. The under view, figure 

 d, represents the general character of the maxillipeds in the Trapezia?.
