92 DR. J. G. DE MAN ON THE PODOPHTHALMOUS 
observes. The wrist, armed with a small tooth at its internal 
angle, is smooth and glabrous on its convex upper surface, except 
towards the distal and antericr margin, especially towards that 
part which lies between the internal tooth and the articula- 
tion of the hand, where it is densely hairy. In £. crenataa 
larger portion of the upper surface is hairy; and in Haswell’s 
specimens of H. affinis the wrist is described as being very hairy 
externally; so IL suppose the whole outer surface in them was 
hairy. The hands are quite smooth, convex, and glabrous, 
and closely resemble those of H. crenata; the fingers are nearly 
as long as the palm, and are also smooth, the mobile finger pre- 
senting alongitudinal punctated line on its outer surface, whereas 
the index is marked with a longitudinal impressed line on the 
outer surface close to the inferior border. The inner surface of 
the palm is also convex and almost glabrous, being only a little 
hairy near the articulation with the wrist. The fingers have 
pointed crossed tips, and their inner margins are denticulate, the 
mobile finger presenting two somewhat stronger teeth at the base, 
whereas the index is armed with some stronger teeth at the 
middle of its inner margin. The ambulatory legs are closely 
similar to those of H. crenata, the first three pairs being nearly 
equally long, whereas the last pairis shorter. The three terminal 
joints are slightly hairy along their anterior and posterior 
margins. The dactylopodites are depressed, and, like the pro- 
podites, they are longitudinally sulcate on their upper surface. 
The dactylopodites of the last pair are slightly curved upward 
towards their extremity, and are a little shorter than the propo- 
dites, being similar to those of H. crenata.

Eucrate affinis, Haswell, has been recorded from the Aus- 
tralian coast (Port Denison), where it was collected in 20 
fathoms. 
Pilumnoplax sulcatifrons, Stimps., is closely allied, or perhaps 
even identical, with this species. Indeed, when comparing 
these specimens with the description given by the American 
naturalist, I was struck by the great conformity between them.
