Where to find the Crayfish. Professor 

 Huxley, in his valuable work on the cray- 

 fish, published in the " International Scien- 

 tific Series," tells his readers to study the 

 work with "crayfish in hand." In order 

 that readers may be able to do this, the fol- 

 lowing localities are given, copied from Dr. 

 Hagen's monograph on the Astacidce, with 

 some localities added by the author : Ver- 

 mont : in affluents of Lake Champlain ; at 

 Burlington, Shelburne, Colchester, Chitten- 

 den County. Massachusetts : Western parts 

 of the State, on the authority of Mr. S. H. 

 Scudder. New York : Iludson River and its 

 affluents ; Ncwburg, Fishkill ; in the Tioga, 

 affluent of the Susquehanna; at Berkshire, 

 Tioga County ; Lake Ontario ; Genesee Riv- 

 er, at Rochester ; Garrison Creek, near Os- 

 wego ; Lake Oneida ; Four-Mile Creek, near 

 Sackett's Harbor ; and Grass River, a branch 

 of the St. Lawrence ; also at Niagara. New 

 Jersey : Essex, Schooley's Mountain, Morris. 



Pennsylvania : in Delaware River (Philadel- 

 phia), Schuylkill River (Carlisle, Reading) ; 

 Susquehanna and its affluents (Hummels- 

 town, Berwick) ; Ohio River (Pittsburgh). 

 Maryland: Havre de Grace. Virginia: 

 James River and its affluents (Petersburg), 

 the Rappahannock ( Fredericksburg ), and 

 Greenbrier River. District of Columbia: 

 Georgetown. North Carolina: Beaufort. 

 South Carolina : Wateree River, Charles- 

 ton, and Summerville. Georgia: Athens, 

 Milledgeville, Roswell. Florida : Pensa- 

 cola. Alabama: Huntsville, Mobile. Mis- 

 sissippi: Mobile River, Monticello, Root- 

 pond. Louisiana : New Orleans, Millikin's 

 Pond. Tennessee: Lebanon. Kentucky: 

 Mammoth Cave, Little Hickman, Hickman's 

 Landing. Indiana : Wabash River (Del- 

 phi). Ohio: Cincinnati, Columbia, Dayton, 

 Miami River, Kelley Island, Lake Erie. 

 Michigan : Lake Superior, and reported 

 from Lake St. Clair. Wisconsin : Sugar 

 River, and also reported from Milwaukee. 

 Minnesota: Collected by Professor Agassiz 

 at Minnehaha Falls. Iowa : Mississippi 

 River at Davenport and Burlington. I have 

 found it in greatest abundance at Dubuque. 

 Illinois : Chicago, Evanston, Ogle County, 

 Lawn Ridge, Basson Pudge, Peoria, Athens, 

 Quincy, Belleville, Illinois River and its af- 

 fluents. Missouri: St. Louis, and Osage 

 River. Arkansas: One species reported, 

 locality unknown. Teras: Between San 

 Antonio and El Paso del Norte. Nebraska : 

 One species reported, without locality. 

 Washington Territory: Puget Sound. Ore- 

 gon: Astoria, Columbia River, Lake Kla- 

 math. California : San Francisco. Cana- 

 da : Humbe River, near Toronto ; Lake 

 Winnipeg, Saskatchewan and Red Rivers. 

 I have found them in the watercourses of 

 northern Maine, and St. John's River, in 

 New Brunswick. Dr. Hagen's monograph 

 was published ten years ago. Many new 

 localities have been recorded since ; doubt- 

 less they will be found in every State and 

 Territory in the Union. The animals may 

 be found sheltered under or between loose 

 stones along the edges of brooks and rivers. 

 They are very active in their efforts to es- 

 cape. Owing to their greenish and brown- 

 ish hues, it is difficult to find them. They 

 may easily be kept in confinement for a 

 long time, and their movements and habits 

 studied. Edward S. Morse.
