PART 1 GARTH : PACIFIC OXYRHYNCHA 199 



43 (39), 32, 28.5, and 27 mm, respectively. Ovigerous female: length 

 33.5 mm, branchial width 25.0 mm, hepatic width 21.2 mm, cheliped 34 

 mm, first ambulatory leg 39 mm. 



Color in life: Dorsal surface usually greenish brown, ventral side 

 very much lighter. Those found among algae are a brilliant red. (Way) 

 Greenish brown to reddish. (MacKay) 



Habitat: Abundant everywhere in the region [San Juan Islands] in 

 eel grass (Zostera marina), on kelp, and on piles under docks. (Way) 

 Among eel grass and Ulva, and at Parry Bay among kelp ribbons. (Hart) 

 Bay and estuary; rocky shores; low-tide horizon, rock and seaweed. 

 (Ricketts and Calvin) 



Depth: Common to at least 40 fathoms. (Way) Puget Sound and 

 Monterey Bay specimens were dredged at moderate depths; San Juan 

 Channel specimens are from 60-62 fathoms. 



Size and sex: Males in the present series are from 15.8 to 35.5 mm, 

 females from 16.4 to 37.4 mm, ovigerous females from 23.0 to 33.5 mm, 

 and young to a minimum of 4.5 mm. The largest male recorded meas- 

 ured 67 x 45 mm (Way) ; the largest female measured 44 x 30 mm 

 (Walker). 



Breeding: Ovigerous females were encountered at Coos Bay, Oregon, 

 in late June, when 14 of 16 specimens were with ova, and in mid- July, at 

 Bodega Bay, California, in March, and at Stewart's Point in November. 



Remarks: With no previous records from Oregon and only two valid 

 records from northern California, the 90 specimens from 14 Oregon 

 stations and the 16 specimens from 7 California stations north of San 

 Francisco obtained by Hancock Foundation field parties may be consid- 

 ered as adding considerably to our knowledge of the distribution of the 

 species. Specimens in the collection of the Hopkins Marine Station, 

 Pacific Grove, definitely establish the presence of the species in Monterey 

 Bay, although not intertidally.
