OF THE SCOTTISH NATIONAL ANTARCTIC EXPEDITION. 279 



speak of the right cheliped as being the larger, and in the illustrations the two 

 chelipeds can scarcely be drawn to a uniform scale, since otherwise they would be far 

 from representing the relative proportions. At least in the Scotia examples the 

 chelipeds answer to Alcock's generic definition, " the left being vastly the larger." 

 The beautiful colouring is unfortunately no longer available in our specimens to 

 assist identification. That the ungues are black in the ambulatory legs may be 

 common to many species. The slight curvature and basal widening of the long eye- 

 stalks may be worthy of mention, and the bareness of the flagellum of the second 

 antennae. The length of about an inch corresponds with that assigned to the speci- 

 mens obtained at St Vincent by the French expedition.

The above selection of references will enable the student to trace the unending or 

 at any rate unended controversy which seeks to determine whether Grimothea gre- 

 garius (Fabricius) and Munida subrugosus (White) are one and the same or two 

 distinct species. Filhol, Mocquard, Lagerberg, with abundant material, affirm 

 that alike in old and young specimens the notably expanded last three joints of the 

 external maxillipecls distinguish M. gregarius from M. subrugosus, and Ortmann in 

 1911, Balss in 1913, agree with them. Additional distinctions are based on the
