Decapod Crustacea of Bermuda, Part II. 81 



with dark green or brown ; a paler spot behind each eye ; large 

 chela dark green, usually banded with yellowish brown or yellow 

 on the inner surface ; smaller chela and other legs paler, often 

 banded with dull gray or reddish. After two months in formol, 

 the body is pale flesh-color, with a transverse orange line in front 

 of each dorsal abdominal articulation; a patch of orange-red 

 behind the eyes. Large chela whitish, the inner surface crossed 

 by four obliquely transverse bands of orange red. 



A specimen taken Dec. 19, 1915, in Hamilton Harbor, in 4 

 fathoms, among sponges, etc., had the body banded with red and 

 pale yellowish ; large chela had two pale bands, pollex blackish, 

 ringer red. 



This well marked species is not uncommon at Bermuda. It 

 lives in holes in rotten limestone and dead corals. Specimens 

 taken at Hungry Bay, March, 1901, by A. H. Verrill, carried 

 numerous small eggs about 0.5 mm. in diameter. 



Key West (Kingsley) ; Fort Macon, N. C. (Yale Mus.) ; Beau- 

 fort, N. C. (Herrick) ; St. Thomas and Bermudas (Bate) ; Porto 

 Rico, 6 to 1 6 fathoms (Rathbun). 



Brooks and Herrick, in their extensive work on the transforma- 

 tions of Macrura, have given an excellent colored figure, from 

 life, of this species (pi. i) but they unfortunately identified it as 

 S. minus. 



In their figure the body is mostly grayish green, with a median 

 and lateral stripe of whitish ; the large chela is irregularly banded 

 with green and dull yellow, tip of dactyl reddish ; small chela 

 pinkish ; other legs faintly banded with pale red. 



Their specimen was from Beaufort, N. C. Apparently the 

 larvae figured on their plates xvi and xvii are of this species. The 

 eggs were described by them as small and the larvae hatched in a 

 zoea-like form. 



Alpheus beanii V. or Crangon beanii, new sp. Bean's Snapping Shrimp. 

 TEXT FIGURE 7. PLATE XXII, FIGURE i. PLATE XXXII, FIGURES i, a-u. 



A small species allied to A. packardii. Carapace smooth and 

 polished. Rostrum short, small, narrow spiniform, tapering 

 regularly from the base to the tip, projecting beyond the eyes, and 

 reaching about to end of the first antennular segment, rather 

 triquetral distally; the upper edge is slightly concave and sloped 

 distally.
