er kjendeligt lsengere end Palmen, og den bevsegelige for- 
bunden med Haanden ved en meget skjsev Articulation. 
De to Par egentlige Gangfpdder er (so Fig. 8) af 
middelmaadig Lsengde, oratrent saa lange som hoire Fang- 
arm, sammentrykte fra Siderne og langs den forreste Kant 
af de to ydre Led grovt tandede og haarede. Endekloen 
er temmelig sma-kker, adskilligt kengere end det foregaa- 
ende Led og uden Spor af Tomer, men besat med lange 
spredte Haar. 
De to bageste Fodpar riser den for Familien cha- 
racteristiske rudimenkere Bygning og er isser mod Enden 
besatte med lange og taette Bprsteknipper. 
Bagkroppens Yedhaeng viser intet udmserkende i sin 
Bygning. 
Farven er hvidagtig med et svagt gulrodt Skjaer. 
Udniaalinger. Laengden af det undorsogte Individ 
er fra Panderanden til Bagkroppens bagre Krumning S0 mK! . 
Hoire Fangarm er lige udstrakt 36"™ lang. 
Forekomst og Udbredning. Arten er forst opdaget 
af Norman ved Shetlandsperne og i al Korthed characteri- 
seret i den af ham givne Rapport over en Del af det her 
indsamlede Materiale. 
Det af os tagne Exemplar erholdtes i Havet udenfor 
vor Yestkyst, noget indenfor den bekjendte Fiskegrund, 
Storeggen (Stat. 25) fra et Dvb af 98 Favne. Exemplaret 
beboede en gammel • Skal af Sipho islandicus. 
Ifolge den af Norman givne Rapport over den Franske 
Expedition i Biskay erbugten, er den ogsaa forefundet her 
paa stprre Dyb. 
Artens hidtil bekjendte geographiske Udbredning er 
saaledes omtrent den samme som for den i det foregaaende 
beskrevne Krabbe, Scyramathia Carpenter i, og ligesom denne 
maa den betragtes som en mere sydlig Form.

Slsegtseharacteristik. Legemet af robust Form med 
haarde, stserkt incrusterede Integumenter. Rygskjoldet bredt, 
oventil hvaelvet og forsynet med stserke tandformige Frem- 
spring ; de forreste Sidevinkler sserdeles store, lancetformige. 
Pandehornet pxef'ormigt udvidet nedad. Bagkroppen oventil 
mere eller mindre tydeligt kjolet og tydeligt skulpteret. 
a dentate carina, projecting considerably backward. The 
fingers are appreciably longer than the palm, and the 
moveable finger is connected with the hand by an extremely 
oblique articulation. 
The two pairs of true ambulatory legs (see fig. 8) are of 
moderate length, about as long as the right clieliped, com- 
pressed, and, along the anterior margin of the two outer 
segments, coarsely dentate and ciliated; the terminal claw 
is comparatively slender, a good deal longer than the pre- 
ceding segment, and without any trace of spines, but exhibi- 
ting scattered hairs. 
The two posterior pairs of legs have the rudimen- 
tary structure characteristic of the family, and are, more 
particularly at the extremity, beset with long and thick 
bunches of bristles. 
The appendages of the posterior division of the body 
exhibit nothing peculiar in their structure. 
Colour whitish, with a faint yellowish-red tint. 
Measurements. — The specimen examined measures 
from the frontal margin to the posterior curvature of the 
abdomen 30”'™; tbo right cheliped, fully exserted, has a 
length of 36’""'. 
Occurrence and Distribution. — The species was 
discovered by Norman, off the Shetland Isles, and briefly 
characterized by that author in his Report of part of the 
zoological material collected there. 
The example obtained on the Norwegian Expedition 
was brought up at sea, off the west coast of Norway, a short 
distance within the well-known fishing-bank “Storeggen” 
(Stat. 25), from a depth of 98 fathoms. The specimen 
inhabited an old shell of Sipho islandicus. 
According to the Report given by Norman of the 
French Expedition in the Bay of Biscay, the said form 
was met with there in greater depths. 
The geographical distribution of the species, as known 
up to the present time, is accordingly about the same as 
that of the crab described above, Scyramathia Carpenter/, 
and, in common with that animal, the species must be re- 
garded as a more southern form.

Generic Character. — Body robust in form, with 
hard, thickly incrusted integuments. Carapax broad, arcuate 
above, and furnished with strong, dentiform projections; 
antero-lateral angles exceedingly large, lanceolate; rostrum 
securiform-expanded below; abdomen, above, more or less 
distinctly keeled, and sharply sculptured. Eyes extremely
