CRUSTACEA DECAPODA (BRACHYURA AND ANOMURA) 



239 



the intertidal and island sediments had to be sampled all 

 the way around and at all elevations (the highest being 13 

 feet above sea level). Several islands were studied in great 

 detail with some new records derived. Can-traps, baited 

 traps, lantern light, etc., heljjed secure the nocturnal indi- 

 viduals. Crepuscular decapods were the least collected. 

 Two locations were found where real mud occurred, and 

 there Uca, the fiddler crab, was collected for the first time. 

 Some of my studies, such as the ecology and distribu- 

 tion of brachyurans at the north end of Encwetak Island, 

 became so large and required so much space that they 

 were self-defeating. Because of the high class loads (18 to 



22 contact hours at PLU until about 1970), research data 

 had to be set aside so long it lost its relevancy. Despite 

 such failings, evidence has been produced of a much richer 

 and grander decapod fauna than any had guessed existed. 

 Yet 1 am convinced another 50 species must lurk there 

 waiting. I would like to capture them . . . personally!
