Thirty-three specimens (24 ¢, 9 92) were collected ; nine 
adult individuals having been found at Sullivan Talend and 
fifteen young specimens at Elphinstone Island Bay, whereas 
the others are without a definite locality. 
The oblique line on the lateral surface of the cephalothorax 
extends in this species to the epibranchial angle. The upper 
surface of the carapace appears minutely punctate, when it is 
examined under a maenifying-glass. The inferior orbital margin 
is simple in the male; but in the female it is bordered, at the 
bottom of the orbits, by an accessory row of small acute granules, 
close and parallel to it, thus resembling G. forceps, M.-Edw. 
This character was hitherto unknown. Among twenty males, ten © 
have the larger hand on the right and ten on the left side. In 
all the specimens, except in one variety, each finger of the larger 
hand is armed, in addition to the other teeth, with a small tooth 
quite at its base. The inner surface of the palm, besides the 
oblique tuberculated crest near its under margin, is armed on its 
anterior margin with two parallel granular crests close to the 
articulation of the thumb (Gelasimus pulchellus, Stimps.). Two 
or three specimens also present a remarkable variation (fig. 7), 
differing from the type in the following characters. Although 
the subterminal tooth of the immobile finger is still more or less 
* Kingsley evidently is wrong when uniting G. perplexus, M.-Edw., with 
G. chlorophthalmus (1. ¢. p. 151),
