I20 Director's Annual Report. 



Calcinus elegans (M. Edw.). 



A number of specimens were secured in the small nets used for 

 fishing. In every instance they were domiciled in the shells of 

 Ricimila lior^ida lyam. A color note states that the legs were a 

 bright blue in life while the claws were brown. 



Pachygrapsus plicatus (M. Edw.). 



In life olive green, with some darker spots, the whole surface 

 washed with darker shades. 



I<ydia annulipes (M. Edw.). 

 But a single specimen of this rare crab was secured. 



MOLLUSC A. 



The collecftion of shells listed below was for the most part 

 secured from one of the Japanese residents on the island, who, as 

 it has been remarked before, had some taste for natural history; 

 as a result he had devoted his leisure hours for several months to 

 picking up shells on the beach and reef. Comparatively few of 

 them were live shells, while many were mere fragments which 

 served only to indicate the presence of the species. The list, 

 although only a partial one, will serve to show the species to be 

 met with in that part of the Pacific. No land shells were noted, 

 and I believe there were none. Thanks are due my friend Mr. 

 Paul Bartsch, of the Division of Mollusca, National Museum at 

 Washington, for assistance in the determination of the species.
