The middle four are all rather elongated, and subacute. The posterior lateral tooth is stout, rather curved forward. The others are all nearly equal in size, acute. The merus of the chelipeds has five stout, rather close anterior teeth* and a large posterior distal one, accord- ing to Edwards' figure. The manus has a single distal tooth on a strong carina, at the distal fourth. This species, in re

The manus has a single distal tooth on a strong carina, at the distal fourth. This species, in respect to its areolation, lateral teeth, and six frontal teeth, is similar to A. Smithiiy but in the latter^^the frontal teeth are blunt and the middle ones are less prominent; it also differs in having the merus of outer maxil- lipeds more prolonged. The chelipeds are shorter and stouter, the merus particularly so; its large posterior distal tooth seems to be dis- tinctive. Personally I have seen no specimens agreeing well with Edwards' figure and description of 1879. 30. Figure m.—Achelous spinimanus, about i^' nat. size; 31, maxilliped, enlarged. After A.

None of the early writers, before A. have given a figure of either form, so far as I know. * Miss Eathbun, 1901, gives, in her description, only four, as in Gibbesii.
