REPORT ON THE CRUSTACEA. 
By WALTER Faxon. 
SINCE the last Annual Report of the Curator of the Museum 
the collection of Crustacea has been enriched through exchange 
with Mr. Charles Chilton of Christchurch, New Zealand, and 
Prof. B. F. Koons of Mansfield, Conn., and through gifts from 
Prof. D. 8. Jordan and Mr. A. W. Butler. 
A representative collection of Crustacea has been presented 
by the Museum to the University of Wisconsin, to repair the 
loss of the old collection, which was burned. 
The Cymothoids belonging to the Museum, which have been 
for some time in the hands of Messrs. Schiddte and Meinert of 
Copenhagen, have been restored during the past year. This 
collection formed an important part of the material upon which 
these gentlemen based their elaborate Monograph of the 
Cymothoide, published at Copenhagen in the “ Naturhistorisk 
Tidsskrift,” 3d Series. 
The determination and cataloguing of the collection has gone 
on as far as the time at the disposal of the Assistant would 
allow. In connection with this work the Assistant has published 
*“‘ Descriptions of New Species of Cambarus ; to which is added 
a Synonymical List of the Known Species of Cambarus and 
Astacus,” in Proc. Amer. Acad. Arts and Sci., Vol. XX. pp. 
107-158, December, 1884; «*A Revision of the Astacide,” in 
Mem. Mus. Comp. Zodl., Vol. X., 186 pp., 10 plates; also a 
** List of the Astacide in the U. S. National Museum,” in Proc. 
U.S. Nat. Mus., Vol. VIII.
