articulation of the mobile finger. The upper margin and the 
slightly convex inner surface of the palm also present some 
granules. The fingers are spoon-like, excavated at their horny 
tips, and are scarcely gaping ; the mobile finger is nearly straight, 
and its surface is minutely punctate, but otherwise smooth and 
ungrooved. The outer surface of the index is also smooth, and 
both fingers are slightly denticulate, the inner edge of the mobile 
finger presenting four small teeth, that of the index three, which 
are a little larger. The smaller hand resembles the larger, but 
the fingers are comparatively a little longer. 
The chelinedes of the two young male specimens are equal to 
one another, and present the same form and structure as those of 
the adult female. 
The ambulatory legs of the second pair are the longest of all, 
being twice as long as the length of the carapace, those of the 
last pair are the shortest, and those of the first and third pairs have 
an intermediate length. ‘The meropodites are scarcely enlarged, 
and their outer surfaces are minutely granular; their upper mar- 
gins are minutely denticulate and armed at the distal end with a 
short acute spine, which is, however, probably wanting on the 
upper margins of the meropodites of the last pair. The under 
margins of the outer (upper) surface of the meropodites are armed 
with a strong acute spine a little before the distal ends ; and the 
meropodites of the last three pairs, moreover, present two or three 
smaller spines between the large spine and the distal end of 
the under margins. The under margins of the internal or under 
surfaces of the meropodites of the last pair of ambulatory legs 
are armed with twoor three acute spines at the proximal end; these 
spines are not found on the meropodites of the other ambulatory 
legs. The propodites, which are a little longer than the carpo- 
podites, are armed with a short acute spine at the distal end of 
their under margins. The scarcely arcuate dactylopodites are 
hardly shorter than the propodites: they are depressed, un- 
armed, terminate in an acute horny tip, and are covered with 
four rows of minute bristles. The three terminal joints of the 
ambulatory legs are densely hairy along their upper and under 
margins.
