Inboth specimens there is a single well marked toothon the lateral margin behind the extra-orbitalangle, but further back there is scarcely a trace ofa rudimentary third lateral tooth, such as hasbeen described in certain Sesarma referred to thisspecies.

The up-per margin of the palm is defined by an obscureand feebly crenulate ridge ; its outer surface showsonly the slightest traces of rugosity, but bears theoblique longitudinal line referred to by fingers are smooth except for a slight tubercu-lation on the dorsal surface of the dactylus near itsproximal end. In both specimens the fingers gape,meeting only at the tips, the extent of the gapebeing very much greater in the larger <«-
