length, have the palm carinate along the upper edge, and the fingers 
slightly separated when closed. 
In the female the chelipeds are not stouter than the other legs, 
are not much longer than the carapace proper, and have the fingers 
closely apposable throughout. 
Of the ambulatory legs the first are much the longest, being nearly 
half again as long as the carapace and rostrum ; while the last two 
pairs are very short and have their dactyli reduced in length, increased 
in strength, and strongly recurved.

Log. Off Malabar coast, 406 fras. 
Scyramathia beauchamjoi (Alcock and Anderson). 
Anamathia beauchampi, Alcock ancl Anderson, J. A. S. B., 1894, Pt. ii. p. 185. 
Body and legs downy, and with numerous large coarse curly clavate 
hairs, which are very regularly arranged on the legs, where also they 
are coarsest and closest. Carapace sub-triangular, with the following 
armature :— 
On either hepatic region a great up-curved earlike spine (without 
any bullous base). On either branchial region, posteriorly, a strong 
up-turned spine; and anteriorly, near the middle line, a smaller coarse 
tooth. On the gastric region four sharpish tubercles. On the narrow 
sunken cardiac region a coarse sharp tooth. On the posterior border, in 
the middle line, a coarse granule. 
The rostrum consists of two more ($) or less ( <5*) divergent 
spines, the length of which is about one-third that of the rest of the 
carapace. 
The eyes are small, and are almost devoid of pigment: they are 
to some extent hidden beneath a pre-ocular tooth of moderate dimen¬ 
sions, and are retractile against a larger laterally-compressed post¬ 
ocular plate. 
The antennae are completely exposed, from the base of the second 
joint of the peduncle. 
The chelipeds in the male are massive, and in length are more than 
half again as long as the carapace and rostrum : all their joints, from
