202 DR. J. G. DE MAN ON THE PODOPHTHALMOUS 
In the younger individuals the cardiac and intestinal regions 
are also minutely granular. The chelipedes of the adult 
male are twice and a half as long as the length of the carapace, 
but in the younger specimens, as in those described by de Haan, 
they are only twice as long. The fingers of the adult male are 
comparatively shorter in proportion to the length of the palm 
than those of the younger specimens, and the under margin of 
the index makes a straight line with the under margin of the 
palm, the fingers not being curved inwards, as in young 
specimens. PP. longimana, Alph. M.-Edw., is apparently closely 
allied to this species, and is probably only a variety of it. 
Although the Mergui specimens present a minute granu- 
lation on the postero-lateral surfaces of the carapace, the same 
as in Philyra longimana, 1 am disposed, notwithstanding, to 
identify them with P. platycheira, which has been recorded by 
Bell from the Philippine Islands. 
Philyra platycheira has hitherto been recorded from Japan, 
Hong-Kong, and the Philippine Islands as just stated.

This species is represented by six fine specimens, 4¢ and

I have been enabled, by the courtesy of Prof. Mobius, who 
forwarded to me the two types of Fabricius’s Lewcosia globosa, 
to compare the Mergui specimens with those invaluable records
