Paguristes sayi A. Milne-Edwards & Bouvier. Plate 4, fig. 2. 
Paguristes sayi A. Milne-Edwards & Bouvier, Mem. Mus. Comp. Zool., xiv, No. 3, p. 55, pi. v, figs. 1-7, 1893. 
The - rostral and lateral projections of the front in this species ai'e about equally advanced; the 
rostrum is a rounded lobe. The eye-stalks are short, equaling in length about five-eighths of the width 
of the carapace. The terminal segment of the peduncle of the antennula extends beyond the cornea 
nearly the entire length, that of the antenna one-third of its length. The carpus, propodus, and 
dactyl of the first pair of ambulatory legs are spiny along the upper margin ; the carpus has four large 
spines on its inner border, also four on the crest of the palm; in addition to more or less scattering 
large, spiny granules, there is a prominent row extending from the wrist to the gape of the fingers. 
In general this specimen agrees with that figured by Milne-Edwards & Bouvier, but the rostrum 
of their specimen is pointed and the eyes are figured as more slender. This is so close to sayi that I 
am unwilling to call it new. One male was dredged by the Albatross at station 2655, in 338 fathoms. 
Paguristes moorei, new species. Plate 4, fig. 3. 
The rostrum is short, rounded, not quite reaching the line of the tips of the projections of the 
front between the eye-stalks and the insertions of the antenna. From these points the front retreats 
rapidly to the well-rounded antero-lateral angles. The eye-stalks are about one-fifth longer than the 
entire front. The peduncles of the antenna extend a little beyond the middle of the eye-stalk; the 
terminal segment is unarmed. The peduncles of the antennula do not extend quite to the extremity 
of the cornea. The chelipeds are rather narrow, the outline of the hand is slightly elongated, with a 
straight margin where the two hands come together in close contact; the lower or outer margins 
are concave. The outer surface is well, covered with small tubercles surmounted by spinules with 
small horny tips; the crest of each hand is armed with five small, stout spines; the hands are hairy. 
The first pair of ambulatory feet are spiny along the outer margin of the carpus and propodus. The 
color of the eye-stalks in the single specimen from Porto Rico is a deep crimson, with a single stripe 
of white along the upper surface. 
Named for Dr. PI. F. Moore, the naturalist of the Albatross and a member of the scientific staff 
of the Fish Ilmvk on its expedition to Porto Rico. 
Paguristes puncticeps, new species. Plate 4, fig. 4. 
The rostrum in this species is elongated, broad at the base and acuminate. The margin of the 
carapace behind the antenna falls away to the rounded antero-lateral angles. The eye-stalks are about 
one-sixth shorter than the front, measured between the angles. The peduncles of the antenna extend 
a little beyond the middle of eye-stalks; the terminal segment is normally armed with three spines, 
though many individuals have but two. The peduncles of the antennules do not reach the cornea. 
The chelipeds differ from those of I\ sericeus in having a straighter outline of the movable finger and 
crest of the palm, which brings the margins of the hands in contact as they withdraw into the shell. 
The outer surface is paved with small tubercles which are surmounted with small horn-tipped spines. 
The surface is obscured with long hair. The carpus and propodus of the first pair of ambulatory legs are 
spiny, in the second pair the segments are almost smooth. In alcoholic specimens the color of the 
eye-stalks and peduncles of the first and second antennae is pink spotted with white. 
Several specimens of this species were collected at Kingston, Jamaica, in shallow water, March 
1884, by the U. S. Fish Commission.

Paguristes depressus Stimpson, Annals Lye. Nat. Hist. New York, vn, p. 87, March, 1859. 
“Carapax flattened, naked; posterior portion much expanded; sides of the anterior portion short, 
the transverse suture reaching far forward laterally; surface rugulose; lateral sinuses spinulose. Ante- 
rior cardiac lobe narrow halberd-shaped, somewhat widening toward its blunt posterior extremity. 
Rostrum elongated, reaching nearly to the middle of the opthalmic scales, with its lip embedded in 
the rounded tubercle of the opthalmic ring, which is exposed in this species. Eyes very large, much 
overreaching the tip of the peduncle of the very slender antennuke. Opthalmic scales with bidentate
