extremity of the hand, being separated from it by a 
concave space. The hand is much narrower than the 
wrist, and the finger is long, and but slightly curved and 
serrated ; the apex when closed impinges against the 
extremity of the carpal process. The second pair of 
legs have the wrists very long ; and the hand is scarcely 
more dilated, but not longer than it is broad, the inferior 
angle being produced to a strong thumb-like process, 
separated from the finger by a wide palm : the finger is 
slight and nearly straight, and falls against the extremity 
of the thumb when closed. The next two pairs of legs 
are slender, and the three last pairs gradually increase 
in length posteriorly. The rest of the animal bears a 
near resemblance to the species of Microdeutopus or 
Aora. 
We received this very curious and interesting form 
from Salcombe Harbour on the south coast of Devon- 
shire, where it was taken by Mr. Webster.
