? Axlus serratus Stimpson. 

 S. I. Smith, 1881, p. 435= M - J- Rathbun, 1905, 



p. 17. 

 No strictly local records, though this region lies 



within the known range of the species. 



Naushonia crangonoides Kingsley. 



Kingsley, 1895, p. 95 (sp. nov.); Thompson, 1903, 

 p. i; G. M. Gray, in "Biological Notes" (Bul- 

 letin U. S. Fish Commission for 1899); M. J. 

 Rathbun, 1905, p. 18. 



Only two adult specimens of this decapod are 

 recorded. The type was collected by H. C. 

 Bumpus on Naushon Island; the second was 

 found by G. M. Gray about 10 inches deep in 

 the sand, on the shore of Ram Island, in July, 

 1899. The second specimen was a female with 

 eggs (July 22); zoeae reported as common in 

 the summers of 1901 and 1902 by Thompson, 

 who succeeded in rearing these to an advanced 

 stage.

 Inhabits muddy shores and bottoms, in shal- 

 low water; a burrowing species. Miss Rath-

 Bay, i88r, Vineyard Sound, 1882, 1883, Woods 

 Hole, 1879, 1884; Naushon, 1886, 1887. 

 Dredged by the Survey near the mouth of Buz- 

 zards Bay, at Fish Hawk station 7674,* and in 

 the eastern part of Vineyard Sound, at Phala- 

 rope station 12 (latter a fragment). 



According to Bumpus, this species was found 

 with eggs on July i and again on July 13 (the 

 latter segmenting); others with advanced 

 embryos July 18.

Abundant at Nobska Beach, Cataumet Harbor 

 and Scraggy Neck. Sandy shores at low- 

 water mark, and sandy bottoms in shallow 

 water; an active, burrowing species. 



Reported by Mead and Bumpus as without eggs 

 in April and May; found to carry them during 

 the latter part of June and throughout July. 

 Many females still bore eggs on July 3 1 .- -Surn- 

 ner. J. S. Kingsley (Marine Biological Labora- 

 tory card catalogue) reports zoeae in the tow 

 on August 5, and F. P. Gorham (cited by 

 Bumpus) on August 9.

Distribution pretty general throughout Vine- 

 yard Sound and Buzzards Bay. Dredged by 

 the Survey in 2 to 17 fathoms, on quite various 

 bottoms. Taken also in shallow water along 

 shore e. g., at Nobska Point and Tarpaulin 

 Cove. This species, locally, is mainly found in 

 the shells of Polynices heros and P. duplicata; 

 sometimes in Busycon canaliculatum, B. car- 

 ica, and Littorina litorea.
