A. E. y err ill — Decapod Crustacea of Bermuda. 



359 



This interesting species appears to be rare at Bermuda, but this 

 may be due to its living in places seldom visited by collectors. It 

 usually inhabits holes excavated in the muddy or marshy banks of 

 inlets, about high-tide level. It was recorded from Bermuda by 

 Miers, in Voyage "Challenger"; taken in the mangrove swamp at 

 Hungry Bay. It was not in the earlier collections of Jones and 

 Goode, nor was it taken by us, in 1898 and 1901. It is not in the 

 later collections that I have examined. 



Its range extends from New Jersey to Florida, and through the 

 West Indies to Bahia, Brazil. S. Carolina (Stimpson) ; Sarasota 

 Bay, Fla., (Kingsley); Bahia (R. Rathbun). New York to Brazil 

 (Rankin; M. J. Rathbun). St. Augustine and Cedar Key, Fla. 

 (Yale Mus.).

The typical form of this species is not common at the Bermudas. 

 Some of our specimens, taken in 1898 and 1901, appear to belong to it. 



According to Miss Rathbun (op. cit., p. 269), the form described 

 and figured by A. M.-Edw., in 1880, as L. pidcheUus is the typical 

 form of Z. Agassizii, while his L. Agassizii is the peculiar variety 

 [hermuclensis). The latter is the prevailing form at the Bei'mudas.
