28 Smith and Harger — St. George's Banks Dredgings. 



Eupagurus Kroyeri Stimpson. 



Notes on North American Crustacea, Annals Lyceum Nat. Hist., vii, p. 89 (43)' 

 1859. 



This species is A^ery closely allied to the last and is very easily con- 

 founded with it, especially when young. The diflerences in the rela- 

 tive proportions of the chelipeds and ambulatory legs, given by 

 Stimpson, will not hold for distinguishing the two species, but the 

 diiferences in the amount of pubescence and especially in the form 

 and armature of the chelipeds seem to be constant characters, suffi- 

 cient for distinguishing them. 



The Kroyeri has about the same range, on our coast, as the last 

 species, although I have never seen it south of Cape Cod, but is 

 apparently less abundant and more confined to the deeper waters. 



Sabinea septemcarinata Owen (Sabine sp.) 



This species was dredged in 68 fathoms off Casco Bay in the sum- 

 mer of 1878. It has also been found by Mr. Whiteaves in the Gulf 

 of St. Lawrence and by Dr. Packard on the coast of Labrador. It is 

 an exceedingly arctic and circumpolar species. 



Caridon Gordoni Goes (Bate sp. ?) 



Goes, Crustacea decapoda podophthalma marina Suecipe (from (Efversight af Kongl. 

 Vetenskaps-Akad. Forliandlingar, Stockholm, IHtiS), p. 10. 



We have dredged this species in 50 fathoms in the Bay of Fundy, 

 and Dr. Packard and Mr. Cooke obtained it on Cashe's Ledge in 1873. 



Our specimens agree well with the detailed description given by Goes, 

 except that they have a well developed epipodus (" flagellum") upon 

 the second, third and fourth cephalothoracic legs, as in some species of 

 Hippolyte^ while Goes says of the second legs, " nee palpo nee (quoad 

 viderim) flagello ullo instructis," and of the third to fifth, " flagellum 

 basale nullum inspicere potui." From the guarded manner in which 

 Goes mentions these wholly negative characters, I am inclined to re- 

 gard them as doubtful. Our specimens agree so completely in all 

 other respects that it seems highly improbable that they should be 

 distinct from the European species. 



Diastylis quadrispinosa G. 0. Sars. 



(Efversight af Kongl. Vetenskaps-Akademiens Forhandlingar, 1871, Stockholm, p. 

 27 ; and Beskrivelse af de Paa Fregatten Josephiens Expedition Fundne Cumaeeer, 

 in Kongl. Svenska Vetenskaps-Akademiens Handliugar, ix, p. 28, plates 10, 11, 

 figs. 51-61, 1871. 



This is the most abundant species of the genus from off Buzzard's 

 Bay and Vineyard Sound to Nova Scotia. It ranges north at least 

 as far as the Gulf of St. Lawrence.
