THE CRUSTACEA OF NEW JERSEY. 205 



The Ampithoc pinicfata of Say is possibly identical. The 

 original account gives the following characters : Eyes ovate, 

 acute and distant above. Clypeus not projecting into an angle. 

 Antennae elongated, first pair two-thirds length of second pair 

 and nearly ecjual to body, attenuated. Hands not dentated, 

 equal, oval, not larger than carpus. Feet with posterior pair not 

 serrated on hind edge of dilated thighs, but armed with three 

 or four short spines. Body and antennae above, sprinkled with 

 numerous black points, fasciated on abdominal segments. 

 Length rather more than three-tenths of an inch. It was ob- 

 tained several years prior to 1818, at Great Egg Harbor, and 

 was said to be not uncommon. Say's type was also deposited 

 in the Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia. Should it 

 ever be proved the same. Say's name will supersede the present 

 name of the species.
