300 .1. I]. I >///// Decapod Crustacea of Bermuda. 



The earlier lists, worthy of notice, are those of Mr. J. M. Jones.* 

 The species enumerated by him, merely by names, were identified 

 for him by others, and were not all reliably named. A good 

 series of his Bermuda Crustacea still remains in the Yale Museum, 

 and has been used in preparing this list, as staled above. 



Prof. Sidney I. Smith, in a memoir on the Crust aeea of lrazil,f in 

 1869, recorded five species from Bermuda (coll. J. M. Jones) 

 studied by him in the Yale Museum, and others in his later papers. 



Prof. Angelo Heilprin, in his general work on the Bermudas,]; 

 gave a brief list of the Crustacea obtained. They were identified 

 by Mr. Winner Stone, who was a member of Prof. lleilpriiTs party. 

 One of his species ( Cyclograpsus //////?/) has not been taken by 

 later collectors. A list of nine species was given by Professor 

 Ortmann in the reports of the Plankton Expedition.

Mr Jones \v;is a lawyr. resident in Halifax. N. S., but he resided a number 

 of winters in Bermuda, also doing business there. He was much interested in 

 zoology, botam . and '_'>> ,]i igy, and did muc-li useful pioneer work there, in 

 those subjects. His books were very u>el'nl at the time lie wrote, for little had 

 then been published on tin' natural history of the Bermudas. He devoted more 

 attention to the .Mollusca than to any other subject, and made a large collection 

 of shells there, but no complete list of tln'in has been published. He was a 

 personal friend of Governor Lefroy, as shown by their correspondence which 

 I have seen, and they were often associated in making collections. I made his 

 personal acquaintance, while at Halifax, in 1*77. Soon after that he sent to 

 the Yale Museum a large part of his collections of corals, echinodem 

 bryozoa, etc. At about the same period lie sent his collection of Crustacea to 

 be studied by Prof. S. I. Smith of Yale, who was then intending to write a 

 general report on the Bermuda Crustacea for Bulletin 25 of the U. S. National 

 Museum. Other more imperative duties prevented the completion of that 

 work, as well as my own report on the corals and echinoderms, undertaken at 

 the request of Mr. Goode, for that Bulletin.
