convex. The part of the hand preceding the fingers hardly longer 

 than broad. In a specimen, the carapax of which is one and three- 

 fourths inches long, this hand has for its breadth, thirteen lines; 

 length, eighteen lines ; length at middle to base of moveable finger, 

 one inch°or twelve lines. The carpus has three sharp and stout 

 spines above; the arm several long and slender teeth on inferior 

 margin. The eyes are stouter and proportionally shorter than in the 

 spinimanus; they are enlarged and globular at the extremity. The 

 structure of the carapax is described in the course of our general re- 

 marks on the Inferior Anomoura, page 430.

The specimens referred to the spinimanus of Edwards, resemble the 

 punctulatus; but the hands are less unequal ; the larger hand is not 

 so massive, being proportionally more oblong and less inflated ; and 

 the spines have but few hairs arising from the base of each ; the eyes 

 are longer and more slender, being fully as long as the width of the 

 carapax in front; the tarsi are all similarly subterete; the arm is 

 twice as long as wide, instead of being as wide as it is long. 



The colour of the body, including abdomen, carapax, and legs, is a 

 bright cherry-red or brownish red, with white spots, set in a blackish 

 or reddish black ring, and the hairs are reddish. The eye-peduncles 

 have a reddish slate colour, bordering on purple ; the inner antennae, 

 orange ; outer, orange at base, with the flagellum colourless. The 

 nagellum of the outer antennas is naked, and consists of even symme- 

 trical joints throughout. Minute spines may be distinguished on the 

 penult joint of the second and third pairs of legs among the hairs.
