We found this species very common :it llermuda in tin- shallow 

 water of inlets and bays, especially at Hungry I5ay, in .March .ind 

 April, 1001. Also at Castle Harbor, Long IJird I., etc. It was con- 

 tained in the earlier rollrctiuiis ,f .1. M. .l.nit^. < J. B. Goode, and 

 others. In the 100") collection of the l-'idd Nat. Hist. Museum, 

 there are many tine specimens from St. Davids I., Hermit Hay, etc.

This is closely allied to C. JJnm'v, of the West Indies and Ura/il. 

 The latter has straighter and more equilateral marginal teeth and 

 the male generative appendages are longer and different in form. 



It also closely resembles (\ urimtux in most respects. It can best 

 be distinguished by the longer and narrower intramedial gastric area 

 of the carapace, which is only about twice as broad as long. The 



* This species was based on a small sterile female (figured as a male) from W. 

 Africa. Prof. S. I. Smith first referred it to Callinectes. with some doubt, in 

 1869.
