E. bemnudensis; c', its larger chela; d, E. serratus. All enlarged, after Benedict and Rathbun. The carpus of the chelipeds is granulated, but nearly smooth to the naked eye, usually with a slight undulation or depression in place of the distal groove, but in some this is entirely obsolete. The carapace is somewhat uneven, with the areolation not much raised but well marked ; slight transverse ruga? are usually pres- ent ; the surface is usually finely punctate and granulate, but in some examples it is transversely rugose and more granulose. The color is variable, but usually is yellowish or olive-yellow, mottled more or less thickly with red or red-brown. The fingers are blackish, varying to dark liver-brown, and below, the dark color is apt to extend backward on the manus, a little beyond the base of the dactylus. A specimen (No. 4016) taken at Long Bird Island, April 19, 1901, in life had the carapace curiously variegated with gray, white, and blackish brown, and with patches of orange in the middle, near the front edge. Chelipeds thickly spotted and specked with bluish gray, and with a patch of orange on the back of the carpus and chela, The ratio of length to breadth of the carapace, according to the measurements of Prof. S. I. Smith,* varies from 1 to 1 * Proc. Bost. Soc. Nat. History, xii, p.
