PART 1 garth: pacific oxyrhyncha 159 



Remarks: According to Josephine F. L. Hart (Mrs. C. G. Carl) 

 of Victoria (personal communication), there has been considerable con- 

 fusion in the past regarding the Chionoecetes species in the Puget Sound 

 area. The early records of Newcombe (1893), Way (1917), and a 

 later record of Queen (1930) are therefore subject to question, the 

 former two having appeared previous to the 1924 separation by Rathbun 

 of C. bairdi from C. opilio and of C. angulatus from C. tanneri, the 

 latter subsequently but without reference to it. In the case of New- 

 combe's C. tanneri, based upon specimens sent him from the Smithsonian 

 Institution, one cannot be certain whether he had the more southerly 

 C. tanneri or the more northerly C. angulatus, since no locality is given. 

 However, in the case of Way and of Queen, both of whom mention 

 Griffin Bay near Friday Harbor, it may be stated that the specimens 

 were neither C. tanneri nor C. angulatus, but rather C. bairdi, this by 

 reason of the fact that Queen gives a figure clearly recognizable as such. 

 The depth, 60 meters, further supports this view.
