RESULTS OF THE BRANNER-AGASSIZ EXPEDI- 

 TION TO BRAZIL. 



I. 



THE DECAPOD AND STOMATOPOD CRUSTACEA. 



By Mary J. Rathbun. 



During the summer of 1899, Dr. J. C. Branner visited Brazil 

 for the purpose of studying the stone and coral reefs of the 

 coast between Cape St. Roque and Rio de Janeiro. The ex- 

 penses of the trip were borne chiefly by Professor Alexander 

 Agassiz, of Harvard University. Mr. Arthur W. Greeley, of 

 the San Diego State Normal School, California, accompanied 

 the expedition as naturalist, and the biological collections were 

 made chiefly by him, with such assistance as other members of 

 the party could give from time to time. The collecting was all 

 done between June 3 and August 8, 1899, between Natal, in 

 the State of Rio Grande do Norte, and Maceio, State of Ala- 

 goas. 



The decapod and stomatopod crustaceans collected number 

 seventy species. Six of these were undescribed, and the known 

 ranges of many other species have been extended. The types 

 of new species are in the U. S. National Museum.
