ANOMOURA PAGURIDEA. 459 



Acad. Nat. Sci. Philad., 1851), a name which may still hold, if the 

 species prove distinct. The Feejee specimen, from which it was first 

 described, was a much injured alcoholic one, and the hairs were 

 mostly broken from the mutilated legs. 



Clibanarius humilis. 



Oculi breves et crassiusculi, fronte brevhres, squama basalt triangulatd. 

 Pedes jprimi subasqui. Pedes 4 sequentes crassiuscidi, sparsim pilosi, 

 tarso terete. Color non Imeatw. 



Eyes short and stoutish, shorter than front, basal scale triangular. 

 Anterior feet nearly equal; four following feet rather stout, sparsely 

 pilose, tarsus terete. Not striped with colour. 



Plate 29, fig. 9, animal, natural size. 



Feejees and Tongatabu ; found abundantly near high water mark, 

 under masses of dead coral. 



Length, about one inch. General colour, dark green. Tarsus of 

 legs of second and third pairs, reddish orange, with black tips ; pre- 

 ceding joints, same orange colour, excepting apical portion, which is 

 dark green or greenish black. Peduncles of eyes pale yellow, passing 

 into red near centre ; the basal scale dark green. Second antennae, 

 orange, excepting base, which is green. First antennae, green, with 

 extremities deep orange. Abdomen, dirty brownish green to grayish 

 green. 



This small species is readily distinguished by its colours; also by 

 its short stout eyes, nearly equal small hands, without trenchant 

 upper edge. 



We write off this description from the notes and drawing taken on 

 the spot, as we have not the specimens to verify it. It has shorter 

 and stouter eyes than either of the allied species. The virescens 

 occurs in the same seas, and is very different in its habit, colouring, 

 and the proportions; moreover, it is found about the outer or more 

 exposed reefs, while the humilis was met with under stones near high 

 tide level.
