29. Mithrax hirsutipes (Kingsley)< 



MitJiraculus hirsutipes Kingsley, Proc. Ac. Nat. Sci. Phil., p. 

 389, pi. 14, fig. I, 1879. 



MitJiraculus forceps A. Milne-Edwards, Miss. Sci. au Mexique, 

 pt. 5, I., p. 109, (?) 1880. 



Numerous specimens from Castle Harbor in tide pools, and 

 dredged, '97 and '98. 



This and PacJiygrapsus transversus were the most common 

 species noted. 



I consider that the name M. hirsutipes should take precedence 

 over AI. forceps as the latter does not seem to have been pub- 

 Hshed until 1880, although the "Mission scientifique," in which 

 the name appears, bears the date on the title page of 1875.
