Records only two shallow-water species from Bermuda. Also two deep water 

 species : ParajKigurus abi/ssorum Edw. and Munidopsis serratifrons Edw., both 

 from 1075 fatli.

This work relates mainly to the birds. The observations and notes were 

 mostly made from 1841 to 18.53. On p. 361 is a brief list of Crustacea (10 

 species) with their common names, and partly with Latin names, many of which 

 are incorrect. The species are as follows : — Land Crab {Gecarcinus ruricola) — 

 G. Idfcralis; "Edible Crab (Lupa cJiacanf.ha) of the United States," i3robably= 

 Callinectes ornatus ; Spider Crab (Libinia canaUcuIata), probably = iHi7/iraa? 

 sp. '.: Long-tailed Crab, Stump, or French Lobster {Scyllarus equinocfialis) 



probably correct, now Scyllarides ; Soldier or Hermit Crab {Pacjurus ), 



probably CfiJioMto diogrenes was referred to ; Cray Fish called "Lobster" (Pali- 



nurus ), = ^. aryus. "It is of large size and fairly abundant. " Sand 



Bug {Hippa ) — Hippa cubensis ; Common Prawn (Pahemon seyratus) prob- 

 ably =Pt>Ha'tts braziliensis, body 5.3 inches long ; Common Shrimp {Pahemon 

 vulgaris), = Palcemon affinis probably; Coral Crab = ? Mithrax cornutus ; 

 (" Pericera cornuta "),=Stenocionops furcatus. " Taken in a lobster pot." 



His notes on the size, colors, and spines of the " Coral-crab" indicate a large 

 red spiny Mithrax, probably M. cornutus (possibly M. sjyinosissimus). He gives 

 some descriptive notes in regard to the large Prawn, stating that it has 6 chelate 

 legs, but none for the " Shrimp." The presence of six chelate legs and long 

 rostrum shows that his prawn was a Penceus. P. braziliensis is the only Ber- 

 muda species that grows to the size he gives. The "shrimp" is described as 

 abundant in tide pools. This would still apply to Palcemon affinis. 



It is possible that the Callinectes sapidus, or " Edible Crab of the U. S," did 

 occur commonly at that time, but at that date the abundant C ornatus had not 

 been separated from it even by naturalists. His Libinia is, of course, very 

 doubtful (see above, p. 396). No species much resembling it is now known from 

 Bermiida.
