A NATURALLY -PROTECTED CORAL -CRAB. 



Fig. 8. — Actcea flosculata^ enlarged four times. A small Cyclometope crab 

 found in coral shingle off Ceylon, as well as off the Maldives, 



The whole of its upper surface is closely covered with knobs and petal-like 

 spines, which make it, in its native habitation and in its natural attitude (it is here 

 represented conventionally), a very inconspicuous object.
