300 A. E. Verrill — Decapod Crustacea of Bermuda. 



The earlier lists, wortbj^ of notice, are those of Mr. J. M. Jones.* 

 The species enumerated by him, merely by names, were identified 

 for him by others, and were not all reliably named. A good 

 series of his Bermuda Crustacea still remains in the Yale Museum, 

 and has been used in preparing this list, as stated above. 



Prof. Sidney I. Smith, in a memoir on the Crustacea of Brazil, f in 

 1869, recorded five species from Bermuda (coll. J. M. Jones) 

 studied by him in the Yale Museum, and others in his later papers. 



Prof. Angelo Heilprin, in his general work on the Bermudas,^ 

 gave a brief list of the Crustacea obtained. They Avere identified 

 by Mr. Witmer Stone, who was a member of Prof. Heilprin's party. 

 One of his species ( Cyclograpsus integer) has not been taken by 

 later collectors. A list of nine species was given by Professor 

 Ortmann in the reports of the Plankton Expedition. §

 tacea,! Ml'. Young has enumerated and described 23 species pre-.

Mr. Jones was a lawyer, resident in Halifax, N. S., but he resided a number 

 of winters in Bermuda, also doing business there. He was much interested in 

 zoology, botany, and geology, and did much useful pioneer work there, in 

 those subjects. His books were very iiseful at the time he wrote, for little had 

 then been published on the natural history of the Bermudas. He devoted more 

 attention to the Mollusca than to any other subject, and made a large collection 

 of shells there, but no complete list of them has been published. He was a 

 personal friend of Governor Lefroy, as shown by their correspondence which 

 I have seen, and they were often associated in making collections. I made his 

 personal acquaintance, while at Halifax, in 1877. Soon after that he sent to 

 the Yale Museum a large part of his collections of corals, echinoderms, 

 bryozoa, etc. At about the same pei'iod he sent his collection of Crustacea to 

 be sUidied by Prof. S. I. Smith of Yale, who was then intending to wi'lte a 

 general report on the Bermuda Crustacea for Bulletin 25 of the U. S. National 

 Museum. Other more imperative duties prevented the completion of that 

 work, as well as my own report on the corals and echinoderms, undertaken at 

 the request of Mr. Goode, for that Bulletin.
