 8, 1876; Newport. Rathbun. Bay shore of 

 Pasque Island, at Phalarope station 84*; i 

 young. Survey. Found in oyster beds, ac- 

 cording to Smith, "apparently . . . intro- 

 duced from farther south with the oysters." 

 Eurypanopeus depressus (Smith).

Vineyard Sound, 1875, 1882; New Bedford, 1882 

 (W. Nye, jr. , collector). Rathbun. This spe- 

 cies was listed by Verrill and Smith (1873) from 

 nearly every sort of shore and bottom, as well as 

 from piles and upon oyster beds, where it was 

 said to be very abundant. These authors ap- 

 parently regarded P. depressus as even com- 

 moner locally than P. sayi. There is here 

 apparently a confusion of species. Miss Rath- 

 bun has not found a single undoubted specimen 



In addition to those cases where t he asterisk has been used 

 ferred to Miss Rathbun for identification. It is possible that

Eurypanopeus depressus Continued . 



of depressus among the very numerous crabs 

 from the survey dredging collections which 

 have been referred to her; and but a single 

 specimen in a lot of panopeid crabs obtained at 

 about a dozen different points along shore. 

 This last was taken at Wareham River, on a 

 muddy bank. 



Neopanope texana sayi (Smith). [Chart 118.]

 Very abundant in the eastern half of Vineyard 

 Sound and the upper half of Buzzards Bay, 

 though not confined to these regions; appar- 

 ently absent from the western end of Vineyard 

 Sound. Survey. Dredged in 2 to 17 fath- 

 oms, on all sorts of bottoms. Very common, 

 likewise, along shore, especially in muddy 

 places, and on piles among algas, etc. Re- 

 corded from Woods Hole Harbor, Nobska
