THE CRUSTACEA OF NEW JERSEY. 429 



Color brownish above, paler below. Length of carapace 40 

 mm., width 60 mm. 



Remarks. — Ranges from Nova Scotia to the West Indies. Said 

 to be rare or local, and likely confused with the far more abund- 

 ant following species, which it greatly resembles. It is some- 

 times found dead on the shores of New England, and hardly 

 likely occurs above low-water mark, as it ranges down in deep 

 water off shore. I have no definite record for the State, except 

 a number washed up on the beach at Corson's Inlet, several 

 winters past, according to my friend. Dr. R. J. Phillips. The 

 above-described example was obtained by Leidy, at Point Judith 

 in Rhode Island, many years ago.
