46 tS. J. /Smith — Crustaceans of the Atlantic Coast. 



18*78, fine specimens were obtained from off Sable Island!, Nova 

 Scotia, 250 fathoms, rocks (Philip Merchant and Thomas Ginnevan, 

 schooner " Marion") ; from Marble Head Bank (schooner "Charger") ; 

 and one canght, in 18V2, in Harbor Cove, Gloucester (Edw. W. 

 Hodgkins), Specimens are occasionally brought from different 

 fishing banks off the coast, where they are taken on trawl or cod 

 lines, especially upon rocky bottoms. It has been reported from 

 Greenland, but it is not inserted in Reinhardt's list (Rink's Natur- 

 historiske Bedrag til en Beskrivelse af Gronland, 1857, p. 28) and 

 Liltken in a foot-note to his list (Manual of Instructions for the 

 [British] Arctic Expedition, 1875, p. 146) says its occurrence in 

 Greenland needs confirmation. 



In Europe it is found upon the whole Atlantic coast of Scandinavia ! 

 (G. O. Sars), about the northern portions of the British Islands, and, 

 according to Van Beneden, rarely upon the coast of Belgium.

Not rare in the eastern part of Long Island Sound !, Block Island 

 Sound!, and off Block Island!, in 10 to 50 fathoms, sandy and hard 

 bottoms, 1874; all the specimens small, however. Off Newport!, 

 Rhode Island, 29 fathoms, 1872. Not uncommon in the deeper parts 

 of the outer portion of Vineyard Sound!, 1871 and 1875; large speci- 

 mens were taken in 8 to 1 2 fathoms, sandy bottom, near Menemsha 

 Bight, and also at about the same depth, rocky bottom, off Gay 

 Head. South of Cape Cod, it appears not to be abundant and I have 

 never seen it at low- water. 



Stellwagen's Bank !, 34 fathoms, sand, 1873. Gloucester!, Massa- 

 chusetts, abundant at and just below low-water, 1878. Off Cape

 spongy bottoms, and occasionally on soft muddy bottoms in shallow 

 water; dredged also in 48 to 64 fathoms, mud, sixteen to twenty miles 

 off Cape Elizabeth, and found at low-water mark !, among rocks, on 

 Ram Island Ledge. In the Bay of Fundy !, 1864, 1868, 1870 and 

 1872 it was occasionally found at low-water, and was common at the 

 same depths and on similar bottoms as in Casco Bay ; also dredged off 

 White Head !, Grand Menan, in 40 to 50 fathoms, 1872. In the region 

 of St. Geoi-ge's Banks!, 1872, it was dredged in abundance in 25 

 to 45 fathoms, sand ; and in less abundance in 50 fathoms, sand and 

 shells, and 150 fathoms, sandy mud. In and near Halifax Harbor, 

 Nova Scotia!, 18 to 25 fathoms, sand, gravel, stones, and sand and
