THE CRUSTACEA OF NEW JERSEY. 37 



invertebrate animals of the southern coast of New England and 

 adjacent waters," in the first volume of the Report of the United 

 States Commissioner of Fish and Fisheries, give a list of the 

 Crustacea studied, also including a number from New Jersey. 

 This work is accompanied by good figures, which, in the case of 

 the Crustacea are only at fault in that they are so few. Pro- 

 fessor Harger published a detailed account of the Isopods, well 

 illustrated, in a later volume of the same journal. This fur- 

 nished, with the records scattered throughout, the first fairly 

 representative account of the group as applied to New Jersey. 

 The same may also be said as regards the earlier work, with 

 respect to the other groups. 



In 1888 Professor Angelo Heilprin piublished a semi-popular 

 work, entitled "Animal Life of Our Seashore," intended to 

 treat of the more conspicuous invertebrates along the southern 

 coast of Long Island and the shores of New Jersey. But a few 

 species of Crustacea are mentioned with reproduced figures, 

 mostly from Smith and Harger. The work is unfortunate as an 

 incomplete compilation. 



The remaining contributions to New Jersey carcinology are 

 largely in the form of collections from Mr. Witmer Stone, Mr. 

 J. E. Ives, Dr. Benjamin Sharp, ,Dr. Henry C. Chapman, Dr. 

 Henry A. Pilsbry, Mr. W. J. Fox, Mr. H. L. Viereck, Mr. J. 

 A. G. Rehn, Mr. Bayard Long, the writer, and others. The 

 most important was made by Mr. Stone, together with Prof. 

 Amos Brown and Mr. Stewardson Brovv^n, in the late eighties, 

 at Point Pleasant. Mr. Ives secured material at Holly Beach, 

 Dr. Sharp at Townsend's Inlet, Mr. Fox at Sea Isle City, Mr. 

 Viereck at Cape May, Mr. Rehn at Atlantic City and Mr. Long 

 at Spray Beach on Long Beach Island. Finally, my own 

 material was secured at Cape May, in various parts of Cape 

 May county, Anglesea, Stone Harbor, Sea Isle City, Corson's 

 Inlet, Ocean City, Atlantic City, Great Bay, Seaside Park, 

 Manasquan, and many other places within the State.
