[Three of these records, stations 945, 1154, and 2185, have been previously published by Stephensen (p. 31) 
but without station numbers.] 
This species is smaller than Pycnogonum littorale and is distinguished 
from that species by the shape of the proboscis. 
According to Stephensen, ‘“This species seems to prefer deeper 
water than P. littorale” (p. 31). This is not altogether correct, since 
P. littorale has been dredged from greater depths (to 810 fathoms in 
American waters) than P. crassirostre. It would be more accurate to 
say that P. crassirostre is not known to be a littoral species but appears 
to be restricted to a bathymetric range of 50-200 fathoms.

22 An eminent amateur conchologist in his day, suitably remembered in scientific literature by a species 
of hermit crab and a genus of little black slugs. His neighbors allege that he inadvertently released a lot 
of large edible snails in their gardens. The ducks enjoyed them. An obituary note, with portrait and 
bibliography, will be found in Trans. San Diego Soc. Nat. Hist., vol. 2, No. 1, pp. 58-60, 1914.
