the outer surface close to the articulation with the wrist. The 
mobile finger is granular at the base of its upper margin; its 
inner margin is armed with five or six teeth, the two basal 
being a little larger than the others. The immobile finger 
is armed with a large tooth, that occupies the basal half of the 
inner margin, and with two much smaller teeth. In the smaller 
(left) hand the outer surface of the palm is a little more granu- 
lated than that of the right, the outer surface being also granular 
towards the base of the immobile finger and even a little to- 
wards the under margin; the mobile finger is armed much in 
the same manner as in the other hand, but the immobile finger 
presents six teeth, of which the fourth is much larger than the 
others, though not so large as the large tooth of the index of 
the right hand ; the first, second, and sixth teeth are very small. 
In the younger individuals the hands are more granulate than 
in the adult. In a broad specimen, 39 millim., the whole outer 
surface of the smaller hand is still granular, and the outer surface 
of the larger hand is also nearly wholly granular. In the smallest 
specimen, which is only 22 millim. broad, the hands are every- 
where granular on their whole outer surface. 
As regards the ambulatory legs, which are hairy, especially on 
the last two joints, I will only remark that the first two pairs 
have nearly the same length, that the third pair is somewhat 
shorter, and that the legs of the last pair are the shortest of all.

Myomenippe granulosa, A. M.-Edw., has hitherto been recorded 
from the coast of Batavia (AMilne-Edwards) and from the seas of 
Celebes (Hilgendorf); this species therefore inhabits the Ma- 
layan archipelago and the neighbouring seas. 
As regards Menippe granulosa, Strahl (Archiv f. Naturg. xxvii. 
p- 105, 1861), Prof. v. Martens has shown that this species is 
identical with Menippe Panope, Herbst, after an examination of 
both the typical specimens.
