3i8 REPORT OF NEW JERSEY STATE MUSEUM. 



Possibly other examples reported to me on reliable authority are 

 likely this species. They were noted at Peck's Bay, along- Dela- 

 ware Bay at various points, at Fishing Creek and Green Creek, 

 Sea Isle City, Stone Harbor and Anglesea. They appear to be 

 noticed mostly in the bays and sometimes in brackish or nearly 

 fresh water. As food they are of value, though their scarcity 

 usually precludes any local supply. Mr. D. McCadden secured it 

 at Ocean City on July 6th, 1913. 



Super-Family CARIDEA. 



Pleura of first abdominal somite overlapped by those of sec- 

 ond. Mandible often, not always, deeply cleft into incisor and 

 molar branches, and endopodite (palp) when present only ex- 

 ceptionally expanded and foliaceous. Coxopodite of second 

 maxillae usually small and receding, or occasionally obsolete, 

 never cleft into two lobes. Endopodite of first maxillipeds short. 

 Second maxillipeds wiith last joint rarely articulating end-on 

 with distal end of propodite, though occasionally so, and usually 

 lying along inner edge of propodite as if a complemental piece of 

 latter joint. External m^axillipeds four or five jointed, dactylus 

 and propodite fused together to form terminal joint, and ischium 

 and merus, or basis, ischium and merus, fused to form third or 

 second joint. First two pairs of legs chelate or subchelate, but 

 third pair always monodactylus. Internal appendix usually 

 armed with booklets mostly present on base of endopodite of ab- 

 dominal appendages from second to fifth. Branchiae as phyllo- 

 branchise. Ova, when laid, attached to abdominal appendages 

 of female. 



Alliance Crangonoida. 



Mandibles not deeply cleft into incisor and molar branches, 

 without palp. Exopodites of first maxillipeds end in slender 

 flagellum. Last segment of second maxillipeds "complemental" 

 of propodite as in Pandaloida. Except in few; species of Cran- 

 gonoida in which an exopodite present on first pair of thoracic 

 legs, exopodites absent from latter. First pair of thoracic legs 

 stout, subchelate.
