SLENDER-LEGGED CRAB. 
Penn. Brit. Zool. 
This curious species is distinguished from all others 
by the peculiar length and slenderness of its limbs, 
■which give it at first view more the appearance of a 
Spider or a Phalangium than of a Crab. It is a na¬ 
tive of the European coasts, and is generally of the 
size represented on the plate.
