The carcincscium in all tlie specimens examined is a colony of Epizo- 

 antltus, bnt this species, lil^e H. socialis, probably sometimes inhabits an 

 Adamsia carcinoecium. 



Stations 8G5, 870, 871, 874, 877, 878 ; 65 to 155 fathoms 5 associated 

 with H. socialis, bnt not at all abnndant. 



Parapagurus pilosimanus Smith, Trans. Conn. Acad., v, p. 51, 1879. 



Stations 880, Sm, 894 ; 252 to 372 fathoms. 



Since this species was described, from a single specimen taken in 250 

 fathoms off Nova Scotia, a few additional specimens have been brought 

 in by fishermen from deep water off Nova Scotia. In all the specimens 

 seen, the carcinoecium is built up by a compound actinoid poly]), as in 

 the specimen first described. Some of the young specimens show very 

 plainly the gastropod shell, which serves as a nucleus about which the 

 polypean carcinoicium is built. 



Eupagurus bernhardus Brandt ex Liuu(5. 



Station 8G5; 05 fathoms j two small specimens. 



Eupagurus Kroyeri Stimpson. 



Stations 809, 870, 877, 878; 126 to 192 fathoms; many specimens, 

 mostly small, and all in carcinoecia formed by colonies of Epizoanthus 

 Americanus. 



Eupagurus, sp. 



stations 865 to 867, 869 to 874, 876 to 880, 893 to 895; 65 to 365 fath- 

 oms. 



A species of about the size of E. Kroyeri, and quite distinct from the 

 species heretofore known ui^on our coast, and apparently distinct from 

 all the described European species. 



?Munida Caribaea Stimpson, Ann. Lyceum Nat. Hist. New York, vii, p. 244 (11(5), 



18a0. 



Stations 865, 871 to 874, 877, 878 ; 65 to 142 fathoms. Very abundant 

 at 871; 115 fathoms. 



It is with considerable hesitation that I refer these specimens to 

 Stimpson's species, which was very briefly described, apparently from a 

 single very snmll specimen, and with no more jirecise indication of its 

 habitat than is iin])lied in the specific name. Very small specimens of 

 the si)ecies before me agree very well, however, with Stimijson's descrip- 

 tion, except that he says, "eye-peduncles longer and the cornea less 

 dilated than usual", while in the species before me the eye-stalks are 

 just about as long as in M. Bamffia and the cornea fully as much ex- 

 panded horizontally, though considerably more compressed vertically; 

 but this vertical compression is i^erhaps what Stimpson referred to in 

 speaking of the cornea as " less dilated than usual ". 



The species in hand resemble 21. tenuimana G. O. Sars in the length 

 and slenderness of the chelipeds, which are even longer and more slen- 

 der tiian in that species, from which, however, it is sufiiciently distinct.
