ANOTHER CALIFORNIA WoNDER-We were shown,
by DR.. w 7. Gibbons, March 20, a wonderful ami
NAL akin to the crab species, but YET described
by naturalsts. IL was caught with hook and line
near the FaralCues in thirty fathoms $50 feet OF
water. 1t locks like a crab-only more go. The
body is ten inches long, and as many wide furnished
with enormous legs and claws, and covered with
dark red, rough thoiny, AID very strong she'll Toe
body from back 10 breast lie FIVE inches deep The
claws furnished with powerful nippsrs, which would
rush an oyster-sh-ll without difficulty. Tue whole
animal weighs Elk and quarter pounds. II is sin-
euar characteristic Of aDimAs OF the crab kind that
the right claw is larger and stronger than the left;
the former catches the shell fish, and crushes the
shell; tie left claw pulls out the meat grin d. Or
ticstss it, spd carries il 10 tbs mouth. This animal
cers from the crab in several particulars The crab
has seven transverse divisions in the tail its strange
relative has in addition mspy longitudinal divisions
The crab tai is only about inch ard half long;
this ANIMALS tail s four and half inches long. IL
has only four legs proper; The crab has five. The
crab has little frs at the ends of t legs the stranger
hes sharp claws, ard therefore cannot SWIM and the
