the rostrum in much the same position as the tooth in our specimen. 
Only one other specimen of the nine I have been able to examine had any 
indication of this condition—the male taken by Mr. Chapin at St. Paul 
de Loanda on September 24, which had a slight notch or tiny tooth be- 
neath at the anterior end of the rostrum. 
From published figures it would appear that the fingers of the smaller 
hand were not toothed; however, the hands are very similar, differing 
only in size. 
“This species was found living inside the shell of the large Pinna 
rudis Linneeus.! In a small shell there was only one specimen, in a large 
one as many as three; and another shell accommodated a male and an 
ovigerous female. In Pinna also live Athanas grimaldii and Crangon of an 
undescribed species.”’ (H. L.)
