ANOMOURA PAGURIDEA. 459 



bright red and white (three bands alternate) on its second and third 

 pairs of legs, the bright red or dark spots on the tarsus, and the very 

 small white tubercles on the fingers (and to some extent on the upper 

 side of the hand), whose white colour contrasts strongly with the 

 orange colour of the hands. A specimen figured by the writer, while 

 alive, at the Paumotus, has the colours given in the figure referred to, 

 and the same was observed at Wakes Island. The hands are bright 

 green, excepting the minute white tubercles ; the antennae are orange ; 

 eyes, blue ; second and third pairs of legs, banded with velvet black 

 and bright blue, and punctate ; hairs of the tarsus, carmine. Owen's 

 figure gives the colours of our dead specimens. In alcohol, bright 

 blue usually fades to white, in this and other species. The legs are 

 almost wholly naked ; on the under side of the last three joints of the 

 second and third pairs of legs there are hairs in tufts, which are rather 

 densely crowded on the left leg of the third pair. The hands are 

 naked, with the exception of a minute bristle or so near the extremity of 

 the fingers and on the inner surface. The eyes are a little longer than 

 the front of the carapax, and the cornea has its posterior margin above 

 straight transverse. The acicle of the outer antennae is not half as 

 long as the eye-peduncle. Carapax with a low median point to the 

 front margin ; anterior region slightly oblong and having the outline 

 of its median region marked behind with a suture shaped like a broad 

 V with convex sides. Posterior region of the carapax wholly mem- 

 branous. Fingers neatly spoon-like, with the edges white.
