142 DR. J. G. DE MAN ON THE PODOPHTHALMOUS 
The arms project slightly beyond the upper surface of the cephalo- 
thorax, and are trihedrous; their three margins are minutely 
granular; the inner surface and the anterior surface are smooth, 
but the outer presents afew scattered granules. The internal 
surface is slightly concave, the other two are flattened and 
even. As in Dotilla myctiroides, the carpopodite is elongate, 
being about as long as the length of the cephalothorax ; its upper 
surface has an elongate-rhomboidal form. The carpopodite has 
wholly smooth upper, inner, and under surfaces, which are 
separated from one another by minutely granulated margins; 
it is armed at its internal proximal angle with a strongly com- 
pressed, though rather obtuse, tooth. Scopimera inflata is also 
described as being armed with a spine on the carpopodite of its 
anterior legs. Immediately behind this compressed tooth a small 
tuft of short hairs is observed, and the slightly convex upper 
surface of the wrist presents a small impression at the internal 
proximal angle close to this tooth. The hands (fig. 10) are similar 
to those of Helecius. They are about once and a half as long 
as the distance of the external orbital angles, and nearly three 
times as long as the greatest width (height) of the palm, the fingers 
being included. The fingers are shorter than the palm ; for they 
are in proportion to the length of the latter as 33:53. The slightly 
convex outer surface of the palm is quite smooth and glabrous, 
it is marked, however, with a longitudinal minutely granulated 
line running close and parallel to the flattened under margin, 
upon the outer surface of the immobile finger, close to its tip. 
The under margin of the palm is bordered and separated from 
the smooth, or nearly smooth, convex inner surface by a second 
longitudinal, minutely granulated line, which is continued along 
the inferior margin of the immobile finger. These two minutely 
granulated lines are nearly parallel. The fingers are quite 
smooth on their outer and mner surfaces. The mobile finger, 
however, presents a minutely granulated line along its upper 
margin, and, as I have already remarked, the outer surface of the 
immobile finger is marked with a similar line proceeding upon it 
from the outer surface of the palm; and its inner surface presents 
also a minutely granulated line continued to the tip. The lower 
finger is nearly in a straight line with the under margin of 
the palm, being scarcely or not at all deflexed. The sharp inner 
edges of the fingers are minutely crenulate along their whole
