EuPAGURUS PUBESCENs (Kfoyer). 



Pagurus pubescens, Kroyer (1839). 

 Eupagurus pubescens, Brandt (1851). 



Throughout the entire region, from low-water mark to 105 fathoms, its 

 known range on the North American coast being from New Jersey to 

 Hudson Strait and Greenland. In the Bay of Fundy it has been collected 

 by Dr. W. Stimpson, and the U. S. Fish Commission ; on the Atlantic 

 coast of Nova Scotia it has been dredged by H.M.S. Challenger, and the U. 

 S. Fish Commission ; in the Gulf of St. Lawrence on the Orphan Bank and 

 elsewhere by the writer ; and on the coast of Labrador by Dr. A. S. Packard, 

 and by the Stearns expedition. 



Eupagurus Kroyeri, Stimpson. 



The distribution of E. Kroyeri seems to be essentially similar to that of 

 the preceding species. Professor S. I. Smith, however, who regards it as 

 distinct from E. pubescens, says that it is " apparently a more strictly arctic 

 species." Professor G. O. Sars, (1882)*, and the Rev. Thos. K. R. Stebbing, 

 (1890)t place its name among the synonyms of E. pubescens, and Professor 

 J. R. Henderson, in his Report on the Challenger Anomura, quotes E. 

 Krby&ri as merely a variety of E. pubescens.

The type of this species " was taken, probably upon a trawl line, in 250 

 fathoms, hard bottom, off the coast of Nova Scotia, nearly due south of 

 Halifax," and since then a few additional specimens have been brought in 

 by fishermen from deep water off Nova Scotia. " In all the specimens seen, 

 the carcincecium is built up by a compound actinoid polyp, as in the specimen 

 first described. Some of the young specimens shew very plainly the gastro- 

 pod shell, which serves as a nucleus about which the polypean carcinrecium 

 is built" (S. I. Smith, 1881; Proc. U. S. Nat. Mus., vol. in., p. 428). The 

 species has been dredged by the S.S. Fish Hawk, of the U. S. Fish Com- 

 mission, off the south coast of New England, in from 250 to 372 fathoms, in 

 1880; and by the S.S. Albatross, a little farther to the south-eastward, in 

 from 353 to 2,021 fathoms, in 1884.
