In view of the interesting nature of the habits of this crab and the amount of dis- 

 cussion to which they have given rise, a somewhat full list of works referring to the 

 natural history of the creature may be useful. Besides those mentioned below, several other 

 authors make passing reference to the habits of the robber crab.
