? Munida Caribea Stimpson, Ann. Lyceum Nat. Hist. New York, vii, p. 244 
(116), 1860.—A. M.-Edwards, Mus. Comp. Zool. Cambridge, viii, p. 49, 
1880 (Caribea). 
In my preliminary notice of two years ago I referred this species 
doubtfully, as indicated above, to Stimpson’s species described froma 
single very small specimen which is no longer extant. Almost simul- 
taneously Milne-Edwards published ten new species of the genus from 
the Blake dredgings in the Caribbean region, and referred specimens of 
still another to Stimpson’s Caribea, but without describing them at all. 
Tt seems best to restrict Stimpson’s name to the species called Caribea 
by Milne-Edwards, whatever that may be, but it is quite impossible to 
determine from Milne-Edwards’s descriptions alone whether the species 
which I have called Caribea belongs to either of the eleven species . 
enumerated by him and, untilit is possible to settle this point satisfac- 
torily, the species may be conveniently designated Munida Caribea? 
Smith, as above. 
The species attains greater size than any of the specimens taken in 
1880, measurements of some of the largest of which were given in my 
preliminary notice of two years ago. The specimens from the same sta- 
tion are usually approximately alike in size, those from one station 
being nearly all small, while those from another, even near by and on 
the same day, are nearly all large. The largest specimens are from sta- 
tion 1043, off Delaware Bay, and six of these give the following meas- 
urements in millimeters:
