¢ Anterior lee —Thumb small, narrow, and applied pretty closely to penulti- 
mate joint, with a long spine. Penultimate joint elongate, a little broader at 
the base than at the apex, inner projections almost awanting, or, rather, a hollow 
before the place where the projection usually is; claw narrow, equal in length to 
the penultimate joint, nearly equal in breadth, except at base and apex, without 
teeth. 
South Africa. (Mr Denny.) 
Hotientot.— Yellow, oblong ovate. 
? Anterior lege—Thumb scarcely existing; apical spine slender and tapering to 
a fine point, sharply from the base. Penultimate joint very long and conical, 
narrow at point, not very wide at the base, without inner projection; claw small, 
tapering slowly until near the top, when it comes rapidly to a point about three- 
fourths of the length of the penultimate joint,—toothless. 
Cape of Good Hope. (Mr Denny.) 
Mozambique A fricander.—Orange-coloured, black in the middle ; large, obovate. 
6 Anterior lee—Thumb large, long, and with a decided bend like a quarter bent 
thumb, with a long and strong spine at tip. Penultimate joint shorter than 
claw, somewhat curved, wider at base than apex ; inner plate large and well de- 
fined, with shoulders and a projecting rounded point; claw long, but comparatively 
not very robust, rather curved, and with sharp pointed, ripple-formed teeth. 
? Anterior leg—Thumb distinct, apical spine very long (bent outwards), more 
than twice the length of the thumb. Penultimate joint very long for a ¢ and 
truncate-conical; inner plate distinct; claw narrow, sub-parallel, shorter than 
penultimate joint—not toothed.

The largest kind which I haveseen. Very distinct and well marked.

base than at top, inner plate distinct, but not large ; claw comparatively slender 
towards tip, with three serriform teeth.

the length of penultimate joint; claw long and narrow, without teeth.
