Tropical Crustaceans in New England waters. 



Crustaceans of various kinds are apt to be carried far from their cus- 

 tomary habitats, especially in their embryonic stages, by currents or 

 other causes, and Prof. Sidney I. Smith has recorded a number of such 

 visitants to the coast of New England. Ten species of Decapods have 

 been thus signalized, the most noteworthy of which are the common 

 West Indian and Southern Ocypode quadrata or arenaria, Gra2)SHS 

 pictus, Pacliygrapsus transversuSj and Calappa marmorata. The Qrapuns 

 (1 specimen) and Pacliygrapsus (4 specimens) were obtained in the adult 

 condition from the bottoms of whalers in Provincetown Harbor, while 

 the Ocyopode and Calappa were found in considerable numbers, in the 

 eraryonic stage, at Wood's Holl, Massachusetts. 



A parasitic Cirriped. 



To the numerous and remarkable parasites of the animal kingdom a 

 strange one has recently been added by Professor Tozzetti, of Florence. 

 A small pedunculated cirriped or barnacle {Ornitliolepas australis) has 

 been discovered living upon the ends of the abdominal feathers of a 

 pufBn — the Priofinus cinereus. The anomaly arises from the fact that 

 the cirripeds are branchiferous, and especially fitted for submarine life, 

 while the puffin, although a waterfowl, is "one of the most aerial of
