Oft" the Atlantic coast of the United States, however, Geryon quinque- dens, previously known only from small specimens taken off the northern coast of New England, was found growing to enormous size at depths of from 200 to 800 fathoms, from the south coast of New England to points far south of Cape Hatteras. Specimens taken by the " Blake " show this species to be one of the very largest of the Brachyura, the carapace in some specimens being five inches long by six broad. Most interesting among the Leucosoidea is Acanthocarpus bispino- sus. (Fig. 229.) Here- Fig. 227. — Pisolambrus niti- dus. f. (Milne-Edwards.) Fig. 228. — Micropanope pugilator. -y5.
