Valparaiso ? 



Length of carapax, 8-2 lines; breadth M lines. Colour, dark 

 brown with interrupted lines of brown and yellow, especially on poste- 



r part of carapax. The species differs from both the vtolacect and 

 granulosa in the hairs of the outer antenna; it has the lateral margin 

 nearly, the orbit, the granulous carpus and hands, and the hirsute 

 extremity of the fourth pair of legs, of the granulosa; but the broad 

 third joint of the same legs, the plane beak without a medial depres- 

 sion or furrow, are as in the molacea. The villous covering on the 

 hand near its outer margin is also characteristic.

Among stones, along the shores of the Bay of Valparaiso. 



Length of carapax, 9-8 lines; breadth, 10*2 hues; ratio. 1:1*04. 

 Colour, fine blue and purplish blue. The outer antennas are long, and 

 the flagellum is without hairs, excepting a few that are shorter than 

 the joints and inconspicuous. The fourth joint of the second, third.

 the inner surface near lower margin there are three or four minute 

 spines, the line terminating in one or two at the lower apex of the 

 joint.
