Hay — New Species of Crustaceans from North Carolina. 73 



Pagurus cokeri sp. nov. 



Holotype and paratype, Cat. No. 49,638 U. S. Nat. Mus., U. S. Bur. 

 Fisheries S. S. Fish Hawk, 30 miles S. of Cape Lookout lightship, August, 

 1915. 



Anterior portion of carapace as long as broad, its anterior margin with 

 three projections of which the middle one is decidedly more advanced and 

 is terminated by a spine about twice as long as the spines of the lateral 

 ones. Eyestalks short and stout, their length equal to about twice the 

 diameter of the cornea, scale small and with a spinulose tip. Antennal 

 peduncle a little shorter than that of the antennule, its basal article with 

 a small lateral spine curved downward and forward, its second article 

 with a spine on the inner distal angle and several spinnules on the inner 

 side of the outer distal prolongation ; acicle curved ; flagellum longer than 

 body. Smaller hand with the movable finger about four times as long as 

 the palm and, when closed, meeting the immovable finger for only a 

 short distance near the tip. 



Two specimens have been obtained. It is most closely related to E. 

 bouvieri Fax. from which it differs chiefly in the character of the smaller 

 hand. 



It is named in honor of Dr. R. E. Coker, of the Bureau of Fisheries, 

 who has contributed extensively to our knowledge of the Beaufort fauna. 



Paguristes armatus sp. nov. 



Holotype, Cat. No. 49,699 U. S. Nat. Mus., U. S. Bur. Fisheries S. S. 

 Fish Hawk, about 30 miles S. of Cape Lookout lightship. 



Anterior portion of carapace considerably longer than wide, its front 

 margin thickened ; rostrum acute, straight-sided and considerably ex- 

 ceeding the rather obtuse lateral projections. Eyestalks longer than the 

 greatest width but not quite equal to the length of the anterior portion 

 of the carapace, nearly straight and not much enlarged distally. Cheli- 

 peds approximately alike in size and form, short and thick; merus with 

 a few spines distally ; carpus and hand covered with strong, sharp-pointed, 

 conical tubercles, of which those on the upper margin of the movable 

 finger, palm and carpus are longer than the others. 



One specimen only was secured. The species is rather closely related 

 to P. spinipes A. Milne Edwards, but differs in having much shorter 

 eyestalks and differently formed hands.
