about three fourths of the latter; they terminate in a black 
pointed tip, and are armed along their under margin with a row 
of five or six acute spinules. These legs are hairy along their 
upper and under margins, and the two posterior legs are also 
hairy. 
They present the following coloration :—The cephalothorax is 
of a uniform yellowish colour, and not marked with longitu- 
dinal lines. The eye-peduncles are each marked above with a 
red longitudinal line, which in most specimens, however, is no 
longer visible in consequence of the action of the alcohol. The 
anterior legs are yellowish red, the teeth and tubercles with 
which they are covered being yellowish white. The coloration 
of the propodites and dactylopodites of the legs of the second 
and of the third pairs is very characteristic. These legs present 
the same yellowish-red colour as the chelipedes; the outer and 
inner surfaces of the dactylopodites are, however, of a yellowish 
white, so that the upper margin is red and the under margin 
often so. The white colour of the dactylopodites extends more 
or less upon the outer and inner or upper surfaces of the pro- 
podites, but much further upon the propodites of the third pair 
than upon those of the second pair, often reaching in the former 
to the proximal end of these joints. The meropodites and car- 
popodites of the legs of the third pair also often present a 
yellowish-white spot on their outer surfaces, but not sharply 
defined. The specimens which were collected in the seas 
of Chili presented, according to Helier, the same remarkable 
coloration. 
If this species should prove to be distinct from C. equabilis, 
Dana, of the Atlantic region, I propose for it the name of 
C. mergquiensis. It may be distinguished, at first sight, from 
the other Clibanari of the Indian seas by the coloration of its 
legs.

One young specimen was found at King Island Bay. This 
little animal, whose cephalothorax is only 63 millim. long, is one 
of those species in which the dactylopodites of the second and
