rted in the external cantbus of the eye. The typical species, X fioHda, Leach, inhabits our coasts. The genu-s Perimela, Leach, has a longer carapax, with the edges strongly toothed, the eight hind legs equaUycompressed, and longer antenns. P. denticulata, Leach, occurs in various parts of our coast, and in the Medi-terranean. The genus Atelecyclus, Leach, has the carapax nearly rounded, and dentated at the sides, the tail narrower thanin the preceding; the lateral antenn* elongated, the claws very strong, and rather short. Tlie type of thisgenus is the Cancer 7-dentafus o( Montague, by whom it was discovered on the coast of Devonshire. Othergenera, which it would occupy too much space to notice, have been separated by Leach, Latreille, and others.Amongst them, however, the two exotic genera, Mursea, Leach, and Hepatus, Lat., are distinguished by theirclaws being greatly compressed, so that they have subsequently been separated by Latreille, inamed Cristimani, or crested-handed Crabs.
