A List of the Crustacea of New Jersey 



Including the Adjacent Region or that of the Middle 

 Atlantic States. 



The present New Jersey Crustacea fauna, while admittedly 

 incompletely studied, as may be noted in the preceding pages, 

 will inevitably have other and numerous accessions, both in 

 genera and species, also likely in the higher groups as well. 

 It is therefore of great use to have reference to those which 

 belong to the zoological province, of which New Jersey forms 

 an important part, of easy access. The references to these 

 are scattered through a wide variety of publications, sometimes 

 as special works, though mainly in transactions, journals or 

 proceedings of scientific societies, government reports, etc. The 

 plan followed is perhaps contrary to some, or perhaps the 

 majority of writers, in beginning with the lower forms and 

 proceeding to the higher. Those already treated are not dupli- 

 cated, except by necessary captions to show their position. As 

 in the preceding portion of this work references to the genera 

 and species are given. The former include synonymy, with the 

 type designated for each name, as far as can be determined. 

 Under the species the original reference is always given with the 

 type locality, besides all the references pertinent to the fauna of 

 the Middle Atlantic States, and occasionally the few encountered 

 for Virginia, have also been added. Under each species not 

 included in the descriptive part of this work, the localities are 

 summed up under their respective States, or as the case demands. 

 The off-shore forms are also included, mostly within the limits of 

 North Latitude 38° and 40°, and west of 70° West Longitude.
