THE CRUSTACEA OF NEW JERSEY. 213 



Very many examples examined from Point Pleasant, Seaside 

 Park, Holly Beach, and Highland Beach above Cape May. Out- 

 side the State examples were found at Long Beach on Long 

 Island, and on Dewey Beach in Delaware. Mr. W. T. Davis 

 collected specimens at Staten Island and at Center Island, on 

 Long Island, New York, which I also examined.
