THE CRUSTACEA OF NEW JERSEY. 231 



form, and marginal border formed by lateral portions of seg- 

 ments being light yellow. Length 10 mm. 



Remarks. — World-wide in distribution, living under boards, 

 logs, bricks, stones, leaves, stumps, drift along the shore, and in 

 greenhouses and cellars. When disturbed, as by lifting up ob- 

 jects under which it may be hidden, it runs away with consid- 

 erable speed, seeking dark crevices. My examples from Point 

 Pleasant, Spray Beach, Swift City on Long Beach, Ventnor, 

 Crooked Creek, Highland Beach, Dias Creek, South Dennis and 

 Trenton. In Pennsylvania I have it from Bethlehem, Falsing- 

 ton, Holmesburg, Gladwynne and Paper Mills. In Maryland it 

 was common at Elkton, Northeast, Cedar Island in the Chop- 

 tank River, Baltimore, and along the Big Bohemia Creek. Very 

 abundant at Chincoteague, Virginia. Mr. W. T. Davis found it 

 on Staten Island. New York.
