Sandwich Iflands there Is a great variety o f crabs and cray_
fifh : one of the former was of to Angular a make, that
I caufed a drawing to be made from one that I brought home, in
two views, from which the annexed plates were engraved.
It is of a pale brown colour, but was much darker when alive;
the back is let with Imall conical protuberances, pointing towards
the front. It has four legs, and four rivimmers .or palmated legs,
the bafes of which lall are not on a line with thofe of the legs, but
placed, two o f them on the tide of the tail, and two within it,
which, as well as the fwimmers and the edges of the body, are
bordered with hair. Thé eyes are placed on tubes, and command
the whole hemifphere: it is a male, and I take it to be the Cancer
Raninus of Linnaeus, p. 1039 of his Syjiema Natures, No. 2.
