The following catalogue is intended to include all the -p< . 

 hitherto known to occur at llermuda. It i.s based mamlx on the 

 collections made b\ myself and the small parties of student- and 

 others who went \\ith me to r>ernmda in INKS and l'.o| to make col- 

 lect ions for the Museum of Yale I' ni\ rr-it \ . I "nil I liavealso use.) 

 several earlier collect ions already in the Yale Museum, specially that 

 of Mr. <J. llrown (ioode, made in I ^7<i-l STY, of which the species 

 were mostly determined by Prof. S. I. Smith, soon afterwards ; ;uid 

 the stil! earliei- collections sent to the Museum by Mr. J. M. Jones, 

 about I siit; to isTT ; also small collections made about the -ame 

 period by Di-. ( '. Ilartt Merriam, Dr. F. V. Ilamlin, and other-. 



Recently, Professor Trevor Kincaid, of the Washington State 

 University of Seattle, has sent me, for examination, his entire col 

 lection, made while- at the Bermuda Biological Station, in 1903. 



The Field Natural History Museum of ( Miicago sent to Bermuda. 

 in 190-3, an expedition under Dr. Tarleton Ii. Bean, especially to 

 collect the fishes, but a good collection of Crustacea was also 

 obtained, including a number of species dredged on the Challenger 

 and Argus Banks. This collection has been sent to me for study by 

 the director, Mr. F. J. Skiff, to whom I am much indebted for 

 the privilege of studying it. The collection contained several inter 

 e-ting additions to the Bermuda crustacean fauna.* 



Prof. E. L. Mark, of Harvard University, has also kindly sent me, 

 for study, a collection of Crustacea made by the member- of the 

 Bermuda Biological Station, under his direction. It is of special 

 interest because some of the >pecie> were dredged <>n the Amu- and 

 Challenger Banks, and a few are nc\\ to the faun i. Several partial 

 and nominal lists of Bermuda Decapod ( Yn-iacea, mostly without 

 descriptions or figures, have already been published, mcrca-ini:. 

 from time to time, the number of known species, but none are com- 

 plete. No doubt many addition- will al.-o he made hereafter to the 

 proent list, though it is probably nearly complete for the shore
