The Vanderbilt Marine Museum is the privately owned depository 

 of the marine collections of William K. Vanderbilt, Esquire, and is 

 located on his country estate, "Eagle's Nest," Huntington, Long 

 Island, New York. It contains extensive collections of natural history 

 and ethnological specimens, all of which were personally collected by 

 Mr. Vanderbilt, in various parts of the world, during the past thirty- 

 odd years. 



The scientific publications of the museum consist of a series of Bul- 

 letins, designed to disseminate results of research based on the marine 

 zoological collections, every specimen of which was personally collected 

 by Mr. Vanderbilt, during a series of cruises in his yachts, "Eagle," 

 "Ara" and "Alva." Volume I of the Bulletin series consists of re- 

 ports on the fishes collected during these cruises, by Dr. N. A. Borodin. 

 Volume II consists of a report on the Stomatopod and Brachyuran 

 Crustacea of the cruises of the yachts "Eagle" and " Ara," 1921- 

 1928, by Lee Boone. Volume III consists of a report of the Crusta- 

 cea : Anomura, Macrura, Schizopoda, Isopoda, Amphipoda, Mysidacea, 

 Cirripedia and Copepoda of the "Eagle" and " Ara" cruises, also by 

 Lee Boone. Volume IV consists of a report of the Echinodermata, 

 Coelenterata and Mollusca of the cruises of the yachts "Eagle" and 

 "Ara," 1921-1928, by Lee Boone. Volume V, the present report, 

 consists of a report of the Crustacea : Stomatopoda and Brachyura of 

 the World Cruise of the yacht "Alva," 1931, by Lee Boone. 



These Bulletins are available for distribution to scientific establish- 

 ments by purchase, or by exchange for equivalent research reports in 

 related subjects. They may be obtained by addressing Mr. Vander- 

 bilt, at the Vanderbilt Marine Museum, Huntington, Long Island, 

 New York. 



Other Bulletins will be issued from time to time, as made desirable 

 by results of research on the Vanderbilt collections. Another volume 

 is now in preparation.
