The carcineecium in all the specimens examined is a colony of Hpizo- 
anthus, but this species, like H. socialis, probably sometimes inhabits an 
Adamsia carcincecium. 
Stations 865, 870, 871, 874, 877, 878; 65 to 155 fathoms; associated 
with #. socialis, but not at all abundant. 
Parapagurus pilosimanus Smith, Trans. Conn. Acad., v, p. dl, 1879. 
Stations 880, 893, 894; 252 to 372 fathoms. 
Since this species was deseribed, from a single specimen taken in 250 
fathoms off Nova Scotia, a few additional specimens have been brought 
in by fishermen from deep water off Nova Scotia. In all the specimens 
seen, the carcineciun is built up. by a compound actinoid polyp, as in 
the speciinen first described. Some of the young specimens show very 
plainly the gastropod shell, which serves as a nucleus about which the 
polypean carcvinceecium is built. 
Eupagurus bernhardus Brandt ex Linné. 
Station 865; 65 fathoms; two small specimens. 
Bupagurus Kréyeri Stimpson. : 
Stations 869, 870, 877, 878; 126 to 192 fathoms; many specimens, 
nostly small, and all in carcinecia formed by colonies of Epizoanthus 
Americanus. 
Eupagurus, sp. 
Stations 865 to 867, 869 to 874, 876 to 880, $93 to 895; 65 to 365 fath- 
oms. 
A species of about the size of E. Kriyeri, and quite distinct from the 
species heretofore known upon our coast, and apparently distinct from 
all the described European species. 
?Munida Caribeea Stimpson, Ann. Lyceum Nat. Hist. New York, vii, p. 244 (116), 
1860. 
Stations 865, 871 to 874, 877, 878; 65 to 142 fathoms. Very abundant 
at 871; 115 fathoms. 
It is with considerable hesitation that I refer these specimens to 
Stimpson’s species, which was very briefiy described, apparently from a 
‘single very small specimen, and with no more precise indication of its 
habitat than is implied in the specific name. Very small specimens of 
the species before me agree very well, however, with Stimpson’s deserip- 
tion, except that he says, “‘eye-peduncles longer and the cornea less 
dilated than usual”, while in the species before me the eye-stalks are — 
just about as long as in M. Bamffia and the cornea fully as much ex- 
panded horizontally, though considerably more compressed vertically ; 
but this vertical compression is perhaps what Stimpson referred to in 
speaking of the cornea as “less dilated than usual”. 
The species in hand resemble M. tenuimana G. O. Sars in the length 
and slenderness of the chelipeds, which are even longer and more slen- 
der than in that species, from which, however, it is sufficiently distinct.
