1921] Schmitt: The Marine Decapod Crustacea of California 189 
Distribution—From Mendocino County, California, to Magdalena Bay, Lower 
California; 5144 to 51 fathoms (Rathbun). 
Remarks.—Varies greatly in the prominence of the granules on the carapace 
(Rathbun). 
Biological Survey of San Francisco Bay.—One specimen of Ran- 
dallia ornata was taken outside of San Francisco Bay in 10 to 30 
fathoms, April 6, 1914, while making several experimental trials with 
a 40-foot otter-trawl. 
Randallia bulligera Rathbun 
Randallia bulligera Rathbun, Proce. U. 8S. Nat. Mus., 21, 614, pl. 44, fig. 6, 
1898; Holmes, Occas. Papers Calif. Acad. Sci., 7, 101, 1900; Wey- 
mouth, Stanford Univ. Publ., Univ. Ser., no. 4, p. 19, 1910. 
Fig. 117. Randallia bulligera, 8, X 124 (from Rathbun, U. 8. N. M.). 
Characters.—Carapace covered with large, pearly, bead-like, more or less equal 
tubercles; carapace suborbicular, but slightly longer than wide; space between 
posterior median spines or tubercles greater than between the median and lateral. 
Anterolateral angles of the buceal cavity produced in front of the orbital margin 
and deeply three-lobed. 
Dimensions.—Type, male: length on median line 11.6 mm., width 11.5 mm.; 
ovigerous female: length 12.8 mm., width 12.6 mm. 
Color.—Much as in R. ornata. 
Type Locality—Magdalena Bay, Lower California, 12 fathoms. 
Distribution.—Off San Diego, California, 30 fathoms (Holmes), and Magda- 
lena Bay, Lower California, 12 fathoms (‘‘ Albatross’’ station 2831) (Rathbun) ; 
Monterey Bay, 10 fathoms (Weymouth). 
Remarks.—I am inclined to think that the specimens called R. bulligera by 
Weymouth are especially rough-coated young of R. ornata. For as Holmes remarks 
the former is ‘‘easily distinguished from ornata by the numerous beadlike tubercles 
on the carapace and the lobes at the anterior end of the buccal area.’’
