102 jTirst annual Report 



Xanthias taylori Stimp. 



(Figure 54) 



Abundant under stones between tides and also in kelp holdfasts 

 from deeper water. 



Pachygrapsus crassipes Randall 



This is the very abundant shore crab which is so common scuttling 

 over the stones of the higher beach. It sometimes contains a large 

 parasitic isopod in its branchial cavities. 



Randallia ornata (Randall) 

 Occasional specimens from kelp holdfasts in deeper water. 



Eremita analoga (Stimp.) 



Exceedingly abundant, burrowing in sand between tides, and 

 much used for bait. 



Blepharipoda occidentalis Randall 



This large species one of the most remarkable crustaceans on 

 the coast is occasional on the sandy shores just below low tide. The 

 boys locate them with their feet while in bathing and dive for them. 



Lepidopa myops Stimp. 

 Occasional in the sand between tides, associated with Eranitii. 



Petrolisthes cinctipes (Randall) 

 The "flat crab" is common under stones between tides. 



Pachycheles rudis Stimp. 



Abundant under stones between tides. This little crab with 

 swollen tuberculated chelipeds is also common in kelp holdfasts. 



Callianassa longimana Stimp. 



Burrowing in the sand underneath stones in the tide-pools. Not 

 common. This loosely built, ghostly looking animal reminds one 

 strongly of certain cave-dwelling animals. 



Panulirus interruptus (Randall) 



Very common in the deeper waters off shore. This seems to be 

 headquarters for this splendid lobster. We frequently saw large 

 specimens just below low tide, and encountered young specimens 

 frequently in the tide-pools. 



Crangon vulgaris L. 



Some specimens which cannot be distinguished from the current 

 descriptions of this species, were taken in a bed of Phyllospadix just 

 below low tide.
