Records only two shallow-water species from Bermuda. Also two deep water 

 species : Parapaguvus alnjssorum Edw. and Munidopsis scrratifrons Edw. , both, 

 from 1075 fath.

This work relates mainly to the birds. The observations and notes were 

 mostly made from 1841 to 18.53. On p. 361 is a brief list of Crustacea (10 

 species) with their common names, and partly with Latin names, many of which 

 ai'B incorrect. The species are as follows: — Land Crab (Gecarcimts ruricola)— 

 G. lateralis; "Edible Crab {Liqxt cUacantha) of the United States," probably= 

 CallinecleH ornatus ; Spider Crab {Libinia canaliculata). probably = iHi7/n-oa; 

 sp. ?: Long-tailed Crab, Stump, or French Lobster {ScyUarus equinocfialis) 



probably correct, now Scyllarides ; Soldier or Hermit Crab {Pagurus ), 



probably Cenobila diogenes was referred to ; Cray Fish called " Lobster " (Pali- 



nurus ), = f. argns. "It is of large size and fairly abundant. " Sand 



Bug (Hippa )=Hippa cubensis ; Common Prawn {Palcemon serratus) prob- 

 ably =P(?Hce us braziliensis, body 5.3 inches long ; Common Shrimp {Palcemon 

 vulgaris), = Palcemon afflnis probably; Coral Crab = .'' Mithrax cornutus ; 

 (" Pericera cor}iuta"),=Stenocionops furcatus. " Taken in a lobster pot." 



His notes on the size, colors, and spines of the "Coral-crab" indicate a large 

 red spiny Mithrax, probably M. cornutus (possibly M. spinosissimus). He gives 

 some descriptive notes in regard to the large Prawn, stating that it has 6 chelate 

 legs, but none for the " Shrimp." The presence of six chelate legs and long 

 rostrum shows that his prawn was a Penceus. P. braziliensis is the only Ber- 

 muda species that grows to the size he gives. The "shrimp" is described as 

 abundant in tide pools. This would still apply to Palcemon affinis. 



It is possible that the Callinectes sapidus, or " Edible Crab of the U. S," did 

 occur commonly at that time, but at that date the abundant C. ornatus had not 

 been separated from it even by naturalists. His Libinia is, of course, very 

 doubtful (see above, p. 396). No species much resembling it is now known from 

 Bermuda.
