Uku Sima ; lat. 33° 15f N., long. 129° 5'E. GONIOSOMA ORNATUM. Portunus (Thalamita) truncatus, De Haan, Faun. Japon., Crust. pp. 10, 43, pi. ii. fig. 3, & pi. xii. fig. 3 (1835), nee Fabr. Goniosoma ornatum, A. M.-Edw. Arch. Mus. Hist. Nat. x. p. 376 (1861). Two specimens (males) were collected-one in Ousima Harbour at 8 fathoms, on a bottom of sandy mud and broken shells, the other in lat. 34° 6' N., long. 136° 15' E., at a depth of 11 fathoms. This species has not, so far as I know, been recorded elsewhere than in the seas of Eastern Asia. Specimens are in the British Museum from the Philippines. GONIOSOMA VARIEGATUM. Portunus variegatus, Fabr. Ent. Syst. Suppl. p. 364 (1798). Cancer callianassa, Herbst, Naturg. Krabben, iii. (2) p. 45, pi. liv. fig. 7 (1801). Thalamita callianassa, M.-Edw. Hist. Nat.

Arch. Mus. Hist. Nat. x. p. 382 (1861). A single specimen, in which all the legs (except the fifth natatory legs) are wanting, and without definite locality, is in the collection. It seems evident that the name of variegatnm should be retained for this species, as Milne-Edwards, who was the first to apply to it Herbst's later name of callianassa, considers the variegatum as only a marked variety of the same species. There is a specimen from Hong-Kong in the British-Museum collection, PORTUNUS CORRUGATUS. Cancer corrugatus, Pennant, Brit. Zool. iv. p. 5, pi. v. fig. 9 (1877). Portunus corrugatus, Leach, Ed.
