The plant above described agrees with Wallich’s imperfect speci- mens from Singapore. It is readily recognised by the great inequality of the petiolules of its leaflets. The middle leaflet is usually quite free from the others and has a much longer petiolule than they have. Species imperfectly known. Virts cortacbA, DC. Prod. I, 632. A species from Timor too briefly described by De Candolle for accurate identification. There are in the Calcutta Herbarium specimens from the Andamans (King’s Col- lectors, No. 3000) and from Sumatra (Forbes, Neo. 1344), both of which agree with a specimen in the Kew Herbarium named V. coria- cea, DC. The Sumatra specimens have pedately 5- to 7-foliolate leaves ; the leaflets are coriaceous, glabrous, obliquely oblong or obovate-oblong, - bluntly cuspidate, remotely serrate-crenate, with rounded or tapering bases; they are 2°5 to 4. in. long and 1°35 to 1°75 in. broad; the cymes are widely branching, nearly 3 in. across when in fruit, and on short war- ted peduncles 1 in. long: the fruit is ovoid-globose, 2 in. in diam., with a thick pericarp and no pulp. The seeds are large, solitary, ovoid, smooth, with shallow transverse markings and a very shallow vertical groove down each face. In the Andaman specimens the leaflets are larger and less coriaceous, the cymes are larger (6 in. wide), and the fruit and seeds are slightly longer. But the appearance and structure of the seeds is exactly the same in both; and I believe bath may be V. coriacea, DC. —_S 1896.] G. King Leaves simple, flowers 4-merous.

J, 85), thus named it in the Herbarium (at Leiden’). Miquel regarded Pterisanthes as only a section of Vitis.

The specific name given to this is unfortunate, as it implies that the plant isa large one. As a matter of fact it is a much smaller plant than D. angulata, Korth. which often forms a tree 30 feet in height; while this is usually a shrub about 10 feet high. This species has however very much larger leaves and panicles than any other Leea known tome. The flowers of this are bluish red: the teeth of the staminal tube I find, contrary to the observations of the late Mr. Kurz and Mr. C. B. Clarke, to be bifid at the apex. My colleague Dr. Prain, to whom I have shown dissections of flowers taken from Wall. Cat. 6823B, (as well as from other specimens) quite agrees with me in this. As Mr. Clarke has remarked in his excellent Revision of the Indian Species of Leea (Trimen’s Journ. Bot. for 1881, p. 100 et seq.), the characters of the seeds of this plant have given rise to some dis- cussion. I find them to be as above described. The late Mr. Kurz (in Journ. As. Soc. Beng., Vol. 42, p.65) described them thus: “ semina obtuse carinata, lateribus tuberculato-costatis,” which isa fairly accurate account of them. In a later number of the same Journal, (Vol. 44, p- 178) however, he described them in these words “seeds tubercled- keeled, the edges tubercled-ribbed,” which is inaccurate. Mr. Clarke, disregarding Kurz’s earlier description, and not finding the seeds of this species to agree with his later description, assumed that Kurz must have had another plant before him, and for this plant Mr. Clarke has proposed the name (Trimen’s Journ. J. c.)L. twberculo-semen. The very specimens described by Kurz as L. gigantea, Griff. are however, in the Calcutta Herbarium, and they bear that name in his own handwriting. These specimens undoubtedly agree with all the sheets of Wall. Cat. 6823B. in the same Herbarium, which Mr. Clarke regards as true DL. gigan- tea. The truth probably is that the markings on the sides of the seeds which Kurz described in two ways in the Journal of the Asiatic Society are post mortem appearances—an explanation which is supported by the facts that, in his Flora of Burma, Kurz describes them in still another way as “bluntish-keeled and tubercled-ribbed;”’ and thatnobody’s description agrees with Griffith’s figure (Ic. Pl. Asiat. t. 645, fig. 3) which was probably drawn from fresh seeds! Dry seeds taken from Herbarium specimens moreover vary in appearance according as they are examined immediately after having been boiled, or after some delay : and this is no doubt the explanation of Kurz’s three differing descrip- tions. The nearest ally of this species is undoubtedly ZL, sambucina, Willd; but that species has much smaller leaves, leaflets and panicles, and it has green not red flowers. ras 414. G.

Dr. Engler believes that this is M. macrocarpa Blame and (Mon. Phan. IV, 211) reduces it to that species. The very long narrow crisped- edged leaves and large fruit distinguish it. . 16.

From the former of these it is distinguished by its glabrous— not puberulous—- panicles, aud more laxly reticulate leaves with shorter petioles. From M. lonyipes it differs in having shorter and more condensed panicles and smaller flowers.

AP pt > i » eye-stalk A iy Although there is only a single specimen, I have ventured to describe this species on account of its well marked characters, more especially the peculiar type of granulation met with on its chelipedes, which distinguishes it from all other members of the genus with which Iam acquainted. Genus Pytopacurus, A. Milne-Edwards and Bouvier. “Blake” Paguride, Mem. Mus, Comp. Zool. (Harvard Coll.) Vol. XIV. No. 3. p. 74 (1893). I refer the species described below with some hesitation to this genus, aS it does not possess the characteristic lid-like right chela, used as a kind of operculum to close the shell, which is one of the special features of Pylopagurus. The hand is not ovate in form, and it can be fully extended, yet at the same time it is capable of being bent at a right angle to the carpus, a character mentioned by Milne-Edwards and Bouvier. It has the general appearance of an Hupagurus, and I would have referred it to that genus but for the arrangement of the abdominal sexual appendages, which present the very unusual char- acters described for Pylopagurus. There is a single pair of minute appendages in the female immediately behind the last thoracic sternum, while corresponding paired appendages are entirely absent from the male. 7. *Pylopagqurus magnimanus, n. sp. Station 166, off the Madras Coast, depth 133 fathoms. A female (damaged) ina Rostellaria shell. Station 169, off the Madras Coast, depth 107 fathoms. A male in perfect condition, but without a shell. The anterior portion of the carapace is slightly calcified, and practically eight-sided in outline ; it is separated from the surrounding regions by deep grooves. The median frontal projection is well-marked, with a broad base and a sub-acute apex ; the lateral frontal projections are fairly well-marked, and some distance behind each there is a pit on the dorsal surface of the carapace. The eye-stalks are moderately slender, and faintly compressed from above downwards; the corner are rather pale in colour. The ophthalmic scales are well-developed, entire, and acute, the apical half of each scale being slightly depressed. The antennal peduncles exceed the eye-stalks by about one-half the length of their terminal joint; the acicle is strongly curved, with a fringe of hairs on its inner margin. The external prolongation of the * Til. Zool. Investigator, Crustacea, pl. Xxxi. fig. 2 (in preparation), 1896.] J. R. Henderson— Some “ Investigator” Paguridex. 523 second joint of the antennal peduncle extends slightly beyond the middle of the penultimate peduncular joint, and its apex carries a series of hairs. The antennal flagella are about one and a half times the length of the body. The antennular peduncles exceed the eye- stalks, by about three quarters of the length of their last (peduncular) joint. The right chelipede is massive, and its form recalls that of Eiupa- gurus zebra, Henderson; the jomts are granulated, and the granules exhibit a tendency to become sub-spinose. The merus has a prominent serrated lobe on its inner and lower margin; on the under surface of the joint there is a low regularly granulated pyramidal elevation. The lower and inner margin of the carpus presents a similar but smaller serrated lobe, while the upper surface of this joint is armed with sub- spiniform granules. On the inner margin of the carpus these granules are replaced by short conical spines, arranged in several longitudinal rows, and along the distal margin of the joint, adjoining the carpo-pro- podal articulation, there are about six of these spines, somewhat larger than the others, arranged in a row, behind which a narrow smooth area is visible. The upper surface of the propodus is rather uniformly granu- lated, but the granules have a tendency to become spiniform along the inner margin of the joint, near its proximal end; the outer margin is thin and regularly curved or deflexed towards the apex of the immobile finger, The upper surface of the dactylus is uniformly granulated ; its inner margin is thin, and there is a longitudinal concave area on the nuder surface. The left chelipede when stretched, extends almost to the insertion of the dactylus in the larger chelipede. It is moderately pubescent, and a row of spinules is found on the lower margin of the merus, and another on the upper margin of the carpus. The latter joint is only ‘slightly shorter than the combined hand and fingers. The ambulatory legs are slightly pubescent, and almost unarmed, only one or two minute spinules being visible on the carpal joints, in the male specimen, The dactyli have yellow horny apices. The sexual appendages on the first abdominal segment of the female are minute, but the three biramous appendages on the left side are well developed. The gill lamelle, which are arranged in two rows, are long and narrow.

The species is devoid of any bright colouration and a special feature is the large size of its eyes. The dactyli and propodi of the ambulatory (or probably swimming) legs, are closely fringed with hairs. All the specimens I have met with at Madras—where the species is common—occurred in light shells, such as could be easily carried by a swimming animal. . A similar selection of the shell in order probably to suit the habits of the inmate, is seen in the genus Olibanarius, the members of which on the Madras coast:at least, almost invariably select heavy shells, and are generally found in exposed and often surfbeaten situations. The present species has been recorded from the seas of Japan, China, Admiralty Is., Torres Strait, Malay Archipelago, and the Bay of Bengal (Madras and Gulf of Martaban). It is a shallow-water form.

Henderson— Some “ Investigator” Paguride. 525 is The anterior portion of the carapace is smooth, with the median or rostral projection scarcely marked. The eye-stalks extend almost te the end of the antennal peduncle, but scarcely to the middle of the terminal joint of the antennular peduncle; the cornes are somewhat dilated. The imner distal end of each ophthalmic scale is produced into a small conical projection, from the under surface of which, near its apex, a small spinule arises. The antennal acicle is slender and strongly eurved, reaching to about the middle of the terminal joint of the antennal peduncle ; the antennal flagellum is naked. The right chelipede is only slightly longer and stouter than the -jeft; both are pubescent and strongly spinose, especially on the hands and fingers, the arrangement being similar in the two chelipedes. The carpus is slightly longer than the hand (7.¢., the propodus minus the immobile finger), and it carries an inuer row of curved acute spinules on its upper surface, and an outer row of smaller and blunter spinules. The upper surface of the hand is armed with three longitudinal rows of short and curved, but somewhat blunt, spines; the two marginal rows extend to the apices of the dactylus and immobile finger respectively, and are slightly more prominent than the median row, which extends along the upper surface of the immobile finger. There are in addition numerous smaller spires, scattered irregularly between those of the longitudinal rows. The opposing edges of the fingers are rather strongly toothed, and towards its apex the dactylus is corneous and _ slightly excavated. The fingers of the left chelipede are about equal in length to the palm, whereas those of the right chelipede are slightly shorter. : The ambulatory legs are faintly pubescent, but unarmed. Their , dactyli are slightly longer than the propodi, and terminate in acute horny apices. The male copulatory organ (protruded vas defenets) iS very slender; it springs from the coxal joint of the last right leg, and in one 4 specimen is rolled into a spiral of at least two turns. It becomes : readily uncoiled when the specimen is handled. 7 The total length of a male is about 15 mm., while females with _ ova ave even smaller.

Milne-Edwards, and S. I. Smith, come from deep water, and have the sexual organ shorter, stouter, and simply bent round the abdomen, whereas in the species just described, and probably in the two other Indo-Pacific forms, the organ is much longer, more slender, and capable of being coiled after the fashion of Spiropagurus. These differences are not in my opinion sufficiently important to separate the eastern and western species generically. Genus Pacuristes, Dana. 10. * Paguristes pusillus, n. sp. Station 175, off the east coast of Ceylon, depth 28 fathoms. Three males, and two females with ova. The median frontal projection is prominent, extending well be- tween the ophthalmic scales, and is at the same time subacute and deflexed ; the lateral frontal projections. are also subacute. The eye- stalks are long, exceeding the antennal peduncles by about half their length, and even slightly exceeding the antennular peduncles. The ophthalmic scales have their apices in some cases minutely bidentate, er even tridentate, in other cases they are apparently entire. Tie antennal acicle scarcely reaches the end of the ultimate peduncular joint, and exhibits three well marked spinules on its “outer margin ; the external prolongation of the second jomt is apparently bispinose. The antennal flagellum is extremely short, being only slightly longer than the eye-stalk ; it is only sparingly ciliated. The chelipedes are subequal, or the left is very slightly larger ; they are without prominent hairs anywhere, and the upper surface of the carpus, propodus, and dactylus, is uniformly provided with subspiniform granules. These granules become distinctly spimose on the inner margin of the carpus and propodus, especially on the former joint, which is longer than the hand. A few spinules are also met with at the distal end of the merus, both on its upper and its lower margin. The fingers are in contact throughout their length, and are without prominent teeth. The ambulatory legs are of moderate length; the first pair with their carpal and propodal joints spinulose anteriorly, the daetylus less distinctly so; the second pair are almost devoid of spinules. Both pairs ave faintly pubescent. The propodi of both pairs are slightly shorter than the dactyli. The following colour markings are still visible. The eye-stalks, antennal, and antennular peduncles, are purplish. The meral joints * Til. Zool. Investigator, Crustacea, pl. xxxi. fig. 4 (in preparation) - 1896. | J. R.

The ambulatory legs are faintly banded with red. The eggs carried by the females are of large size for such a small Species, and are concealed in the ovigerous sac. They are even larger than in the next species—Paguristes puniceus—in which moreover, they are freely exposed on the side of the abdomen.

The median frontal projection is less prominent than usual in the genus, and varies considerably in length in different individuals; in some specimens the apex is subobtuse, and scarcely reaches the base of the ophthalmic scales, whereas in others it is acute, and extends almost to the middle of the scales. The lateral frontal projections are almost as prominent as the median one. The anterior surface of the carapace is somewhat rugose, with a few scattered hairs, and there is a marginal suleus following the contour of the anterior margin.. Ou the posterior membranous region of the carapace, the median or car- diac area is reduced to a linear elevation, bounded by a sulcus on either side, and the two branchial areas thus almost meet in the middle line. This cardiac elevation widens out slightly in front immediately behind the cervical groove. The eye-stalks are shorter than usual in the genus, just reaching the end of the antennal peduncle, or even in some cases slightly falling short of this, and extending to about the * Jl. Zool.

The ophthalmic scales are rather small, and separated by a considerable interval, with their apices acute and entire. The antennal acicle extends to about the middle of the terminal joint of the antennal peduncle ; it is straight and acute, with a few short spines on its inner margin, and sometimes also on its outer margin, concealed by the hairs with which the acicle is clothed. The external prolongation of the second joint of the antennal peduncle is bispinose in some specimens at least; the third joint is produced inferiorly into a strong spine. The antennal flagel- lum is of. moderate length, extending to the tips of the chelipedes, and is fringed with long hairs. The chelipedes as well as the ambulatory legs are sisted with long silky hairs. The chelipedes are subequal in most specimens, but in some males the right is larger. The carpus, propodus, and dactylus are armed with short. acute spines, some of which are horny tipped, and the majority give rise to bunches of silky hairs. On the upper surface of the carpus there is a median longitudinal smooth area, with rows of spinules on either side. The spines are arranged irregularly on the upper surface of the hand and fingers, but there are always three or four more prominent than the others on the inner margin of the hand. The apices of the fingers are horny.” The ambulatery legs are long and slender, especially the second pair; all the joints are provided with long marginal hairs. In some specimens a few spinules are met with on the anterior margin of the carpal and propodal joints, and in older specimens they appear to be represented by slight tubercular elevations. The dactyliare about one and a half times the Jength of the prapodi. In a note accompanying the specimen from Station 166, the colour during life, according to Surgeon-Captain Anderson, was as follows :-— “Leos and anterior part of carapace light pink. Eye-stalks rather darker pink,” The following are the measurements of an ential male :— Length of body Bi. ace “08 ..

It is apparently allied to P. setosus, a species from New Guinea, insufficiently described by H. Milne-Hdwards, but if Ortmann (Zoolog. Jahrb., Bd. vi., Abth. f. Syst., p. 281, taf. xii., fig. 9, 1892) is correct in his identification of the latter, the two are distinct. The species figured by Ortmann has slightly longer eye-stalks, a longer antennal acicle, and an entirely different configuration of the cardiac area of the carapace ; in his description there is but slight reference to the other characters. According to Milne-Hdwards the colour of his species was reddish yellow. Genus Parapacurus, 8S. I. Smith. 12. *Parapagurus anderson, n. sp. Station 150, off the north Maldive Atoll, depth 719 fathoms. An adult male in a shell of Bathybembix woodmasont, H. A. Smith, invested by an anemone. The anterior portion of the carapace is moderately convex, both from side to side, and from before backwards; the surface is slightly uneven, with a few tufts of hair near the lateral and anterior margins. The median frontal projection is fairly prominent, while the lateral projections are scarcely indicated at all. The portion of the carapace behind the cervical grooves is membranous, and even the cardiac area is uncalcified. The eye-stalks are slightly concave on their inner surface, and a few rather long hairs are found on the upper surface of each ; the corneae are small, but deeply pigmented. The ophthalmic scales are small and laterally compressed, each terminating in four small apical denticles. The antennal peduncles are broad, and exceed the eye-stalks by about the length of the last peduncular joint; the acicle has a slight sigmoid curve, and extends to the end of the peduncle, while its inner margin is provided with a row of spinules. The external prolongation of the second joint of the antennal peduncle is acute, but very short; the terminal joint of the peduncle is broad, and flattened from above downwards. The antennal flagellum is more than twice the length of the body. The antennular peduncles exceed the eye-stalks by the whole of their terminal joint, and about two- thirds of the length of their penultimate joint. The chelipedes are elongated and slender, with the joints faintly pubescent, and armed with subspiniform granules. The carpus is about one-fourth of its length longer than the merus; 1b is practically cylin- drical, and the whole surface is uniformly granulated, but the granules or spinules as they might almost be termed, are most marked on the * Tll, Zool.

The propodus is slightly flattened when compared with the carpus, though both its surfaces are really somewhat convex; the granules are practically confined to its inner and outer margins, where they have assumed a distinct spinose character; they are strongly marked also on the corresponding margins of the fingers. The upper surface of the hand is pubescent, but otherwise almost smooth. ‘The left chelipede extends to a point opposite the middle of the carpus of the larger chelipede. It is everywhere clothed with rather long hairs, and the upper margin of the carpus is carinated. The ambulatory legs are very long and slender, even exceeding the chelipedes, and they are everywhere glabrous. The anterior margin of all the joints, but especially the meri, carries a few setose hairs, and there is a small spinule at the anterior distal end of the carpi. The dactyli are slightly bent, and flattened towards their apices; their apical portions carry long setose hairs. The single specimen measures as follows :— Length of carapace 660 Sot oo ..

The present species, which I have pleasure in associating with the name of Surgeon-Captain A. R.S. Anderson, is in some respects similar to P. pilosimanus,* S. I. Smith, but is more slender, and distinguished at once by the different nature of its ophthalmic scales. In the latter respect it is more like P. afinis, Henderson, but this latter is a much stouter species, and differs from the one just described in many respects. * According to MM. A. Milne-Edwards and Bouvier, the Parapagurus abyssorum of my Report on the “ Challenger’ Anomura, is identical with P. pilosimanus. At the time the Report was written I had compared the “ Challenger” specimens with those taken by the “Talisman,” to which A. Milne-Edwards had given the name of Pagurus abyssorwm, and finding them identical, described the species under the latter specific name. The Hupagurus jacobii, A. Milne-Edwards, is also identical with P. pilosimanus. 77" © 1896. | J. R. Henderson — Some “ Investigator” Paguride. 531 From the same locality— station 150—there are two small individuals (male and female), which I-consider as undeveloped individuals of P. andersoni; one is in a similar shell to that which holds the adult type, with an investing anemone, while the other is in a Natica. Inthe larger specimen the carapace measures only 7 mm. in length. Both exhibit much less relative elongation of the chelipedes and ambulatory legs, rendering it probable that elongation is a special character of adult males. The jomts of the right chelipede are more definitely subspinose, especially the under surface of the merus and the edges of the hand and fingers, but the subspiniform granulation can of course only be made out with alens. The hand is broader than in the adult, and more ovate in shape. In one specimen only two denticles can be made out at the apices of the ophthalmic scales, but in the other specimen there are three denticles. 13. *Parapagurus minutus, n. sp. Station 150, off the north Maldive Atoll, depth 719 fathoms. Nine specimens—all living in Dentalium shells—including two females with ova. The shell tenanted by the largest example is covered by a colony of Hpizoanthus, composed of four polyps. In this minute species, which appears to be fully adult, as shown by the presence of egys, the largest example has the carapace, chelipedes, and legs glabrous with a white porcellanous aspect. In the smaller specimens there is a slight pubescence on all the above named parts, including the eye-stalks, where the hairs may be rather long. Hairs are met with in this last situation even in the largest specimen. The anterior portion of the carapace is glabrous and regularly convex, with the exception of a slight wrinkling antero-laterally. ‘lhe median frontal projection is scarcely indicated. The eye-stalks exhibit considerable basal dilatation, and the narrowed apex carries a reduced but deeply pigmented cornea. The ophthalmic scales are minute, and terminate in a subacute point. The antennal peduncles slightly exceed the eye-stalks; the acicle is almost straight, ciliated, and faintly spinose on its inner margin; the external prolongation of the second joint exhibits considerable depth, and its apex can scarcely be termed acute. The antennular peduncles exceed the eye-stalks by more than the length of the last peduncular joint—this however is almost a generic character. The antennal flagellum is apparently not longer _ than the body, if as long. The right chelipede has the joints of a white porcellanous aspect. The hand (omitting the fingers) is slightly longer than the carpus, but the proportion seems to vary slightly in different specimens. * Ill. Zool. Investigator, Crustacea, pl. xxxii. fig. 3 (in preparation), 532 J. R. Henderson — Some “ Investiyator” Puguridxe [No. 3, The length of the hand is not quite twice its breadth. In the largest specimen the joints of the chelipede are almost smooth, there being only a faint denticulation, or almost granulation, visible on the margins of the hand and fingers, but in other specimens there is a regular minute serration, and in these cuses the margins are thinner or less rounded. In some cases minute granules are visible on the under surface of the hand and wrist. In one or two examples the tip of the dactylus is bent under that of the immobile finger. The smaller or left chelipede extends to about the middle of the hand of the larger chelipede, and in some cases even to the articulation of the dactylus. The ambulatory legs are unarmed, though faintly pubescent, especially the terminal portions of the dactyli. The dactyli are not quite twice the length of the propodi. The gills are similar to those of P. andersoni, but the lamellae are narrower. The eggs are moderately large, and the oviducal opening of the female is, as usual in the genus, present only on the left side. ae" The largest specimen is a female with ova, which measures as follows :— Length of boay* 500 mee sae .. 16 mm. pods », carapace so Bele ae eepigeas 5) bye- - » right chelipede aoe tS ove | Uncbianee a ,», first right leo . be oes Fae The chief feature of the species is ats Siiatite size. Although the fact that some of the females carry ova is notin itself sufficient to indicate that they have attained their maximum size, yet I think it may be safely assumed that by this time they have developed all the leading specific characters. In some Pagurids, notably the common Huropean Bupagurus bernhardus, (Linn.) considerable differeuces may be observed in the size of egg-bearing females. Genus Sympacurus, 8. E. Smith. This genus according to A. Milne-Edwards and Bouvier, is distin- guished from Parapagurus solely by the arrangement of the gills, which are biserial and not quadriserial, and in the opinion of these oberrers the two genera ought probably to be united. A connecting link oceurs in the S. nudus, A. Milne-Edwards, taken by the ‘‘ Hirondelle,” in whieh at. the base of each branchial lamella there is an external radimentary lamella, and if the latter were somewhat larger the gili would resemble that of a Parapagurus.

On the other hand the species of Sympagurus do not appear as a rule to reach the great depths at which species of Parapagurus are found, and in some of the species, including the one about to be described, the eye-stalks, unlike those of the last named genus, exhibit a certain amount of dilatation. Moreover the gill-branches of Parapagurus are more or Jess filamentous, while those of Sympaqurus are lamellate. For the * present the two genera may therefore I think be kept separate. 14. * Sympagurus monstrosus, (Alcock). (?) Parapagurus monstrosus, Alcock, Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist. (6) xiii. 1894, p. 243.

A large number of specimens, the majority inhabiting Rostellaria shells, some of which have an investing Hpizoanthus, others an Actinia. The anterior portion of the carapace is slightly convex, with a curved line on either side terminating behind the basal joint of the antennal peduncle. The three frontal projections are slight, but the median one exhibits a faint dorsal carina. The eye-stalks are stout, with the upper surface slightly pubescent, and the corneae consider- ably dilated. The ophthalmic scales are broad basally, but acute and spinulous at the apex. The antennal peduncle only slightly exceeds the eye-stalk ; the acicle is moderately curved, with its inner margin dentate ; the external prolongation of the second peduncular joint is spinulous. The antennular peduncle exceeds the eye-stalk by slightly more than the length of the terminal peduncular joint. The chelipedes are slightly pubescent, and yet glabrous, with the terminal joints of the larger one regularly dentate. The right cheli- pede has the merus provided with a serrated lobe on its lower distal margin, while the upper margin is more faintly serrated, and the outer surface is obscurely tuberculate. The carpus is considerably swollen below, and all its projecting margins are dentate, the denticles being best marked on the outer margin, and on the lower and inner margin. The upper surface of the hand is regularly arched or convex from end to end, the curvature showing clearly on the thin outer margin; both inner and outer margins are regularly dentate, the thick inner margin showing a double line of denticles. The upper surface of the hand is smooth and glabrous, only a few minute granules being present, but it is at the same time more or less pubescent. The fingers are strongly * Ill. Zool.

The lower nasal shield approaches the rostral more closely than it does in S. acutirostris. 2. The vertex of snout (frontal, praefrontal, and fronto-nasal regions) is very much more deeply grooved. 3, The prae-anal plate, which in the new species may be either single or divided, is also relatively very much smaller than in S. acutirostris. 4.

Scales of the body strongly keeled, arranged in very regular transverse rings, 23 to 24in each ring, not including the abdominal scute.

Finn— Afghan-Baluch Birds. [No. 4, We should like to mention here that Dr. Turnbull and Colonels Holdich and Wahab, who were delimiting the Perso-Baluch Frontier simultaneously with the operations of the Afghan-Baluch Commission, also made a small but valuable collection of Reptiles. Among these, besides many of the species already mentioned, were two fine specimens of Agama megalonyx Gimther, and a large specimen of Lyforhynchus ridgewayt Boulenger. We may also note here that Hublepharus macularius Blyth, has been found in a small collection from Chitral made by Assistant- Surgeon F. J. Daly. List of the Birds collected by the Afghan-Baluch Boundary Commission of 1896.—By F,. Finn, B.A., F.Z.8., Deputy Superintendent of the Indian Museum. [ Read December 2nd, 1896. | Dr. F. P. Maynard brought home from the Afghan-Baluch Boun- dary expedition a fine series of well-preserved bird-skins, but as they all belong to well-known species I shall confine myself to giving a nominal list, in which I f6éllow the nomenclature and arrangement of the Bird volumes of the Fauna of British India series so far as these have progressed, and elsewhere as far as possible those of the British Museum Catalogue, For a general account, with map, of the country traversed, the account of the Reptiles collected by the Commission, appearing in the present number of the Society’s Journal, (Vol. LXY. Pt. II. No. 4. p. 550) may be consulted. Herein Dr. Maynard’states that most of the birds were shot round about Sahib Zada Kili, a village at the northern end of Shorawuk, in Afghan territory. Dr. Maynard also informs me that most of the specimens were obtained by Lieutenant F. C. Webb-Ware of the 7th Bombay Lancers, Inst of the species collected. 1. Corvus corax. 7. Pratincola maura. 2.
