“ At Japan, Brachyura were collected at several different localities, but among them 
are few novelties or species of special interest ; I need only refer to the Land-crab 
Telphusa ( Geotelphusa ) clehaani, White, which was taken at Hakoui at an elevation 
of 2500 feet above the sea level, and occurred also at Kobe and near Lake Biva. Its 
occurrence at this remarkable elevation has already been alluded to by Mr. Moseley . 1 
“The Brachyura collected at the Sandwich Islands (Hilo and Honolulu) and Society- 
Islands (Tahiti) require no special mention. None were taken at Juan Fernandez, where 
the ship remained for two or three days. 
“ Chili, Magellan Strait, and Falkland Islands. — At Valparaiso, Chili, the only 
crabs taken were the well-known Cancer longipes, Bell, Leptograpsus variegatus (Fabr.), 
Fig. 198. — Paracyclo'is milnc-edwardsi , n. gen. et sp. 
and Acanthocyclus gagi, M.-Edw. and Lucas, which occurred also on the coast of Chiloe 
in fresh water. Off the coast of Chiloe occurred also two apparently new species of the 
Maioid genus Libinia, the first, Libinia smithi, taken at Station 311 in 245 fathoms, 
is characterised by the great length of the spines of the dorsal surface of the carapace, 
of which, there are four in a longitudinal and median series, and three on each branchial 
region, one (the lateral spine) extremely long ; the second (. Libinia gracilipes), was 
dredged at Station 304 in 45 fathoms ; and an Eurypodius (Eurypodius longirostris), 
which I have regarded as new, but which may possibly be a deep-water variety of 
Eurypodius latreillei. It is distinguished by the elongated and remarkably reflexed
