This work n-lates mainly to the birds. The observations and notes were 

 mostly made from 1841 to 1853. On p. o(31 is a brief list of Crustacea (10 

 species) with their common names, and partly with Latin names, many of which 

 arc incorrect. The species are as follows: Land Crab (Gecarct'mis nn-icol(t)= 

 G. Idtci'fili* ; "Edible Crab (Ln/>n iliiicmillin) of the United States," probably = 

 Cnt/ini-i-fi's (iriuttns; Spider Crab (Liliiniu <-it,i<>/ii-t</<tt<i), probably = Mi/hrax 

 sp. '.: Long-tailed Crab, Stump, or French Lobster (Sci/Hamx fi/iiimn-f in/is) 

 probably correct, now ,SV////< irii/cx; Soldier or Hermit Crab (Payurus -- ), 

 probably Cenobila diogrenes was referred to ; Cray Fish called "Lobster" (PuU- 

 K - ), = F. at'f/ns. "It is of large size and fairly abundant. " Sand 



Bug (Hippa - ) = Hit>/> cnbensis ; Common Prawn (Palannqn serratus) prob- 

 = Pco's braziliensis, body 5.3 inches long; Common Shrimp (Palcemon 

 ), -- Pain-, nnii a/jinis probably; Coral Crab == ? Mithrax cornutus ; 

 (" Pci'ii-i i-ii com a fa "), = Stenocionops furcatus. " Taken in a lobster pot." 



His notes on the size, colors, and spines of the " Coral-crab" indicate a large 

 red spiny Mifhi-ii.r, probably M. cornutus (possibly M. sjihiaxissimus). He gives 

 some descriptive notes in regard to the large Prawn, stating that it has 6 chelate 

 legs, but none for the " Shrimp." The presence of six chelate legs and long 

 rostrum shows that his prawn was a PcmcH.s. P. liruziHrnsis is the only Ber- 

 muda species that grows to the size he gives. The "shrimp" is described as 

 abundant in tide pools. This would still apply to Palcemon affinis. 



It is possible that the Callinectes sapidus, or " Edible Crab of the U. S," did 

 occur commonly at that time, but at that date the abundant C. ornatus had not 

 been separated from it even by naturalists. His Liln'itin is, of course, very 

 doubtful (see above, p. 396). No species much resembling it is now known from 

 Bermuda.
