PROTOME DEI A WHITET.

pair of legs are only furnished with a few scattered 
hairs ; the wrist is not longer than the hand, which 
gradually tapers from the carpal articulation to the ex- 
tremity, where is attached a short sharp finger. The next 
two pairs of legs are tolerably long, but terminate in 
rather short fingers. The last three pairs of legs are 
damaged, but the thighs are dilated, and taper rather 
suddenly to the extremity. The last of the caudal 
appendages were wanting in the only specimen that 
we have obtained; and the terminal plate is double, 
differing in this respect from Zaddach’s description of 
P. piloscij as well as from those exotic species which 
we had the opportunity of examining through the kind- 
ness of Mr. Stimpson. 
Of this species, like the preceding, we have received 
only a single specimen which was taken at Banff, by 
Mr. Edward ; and which we have named in compliment 
to Mr. Adam White, the author of a popular History 
of the British Crustacea, as well as of many valuable 
Papers on Carcinology published in the Proceedings of 
the Zoological Society of London.
