THE CRUSTACEA OF THE BERMUDA ISLANDS. 535 



Second and third pairs of pereiopods slightly lighter in color 

 than the first ; propodos with only a few hairs at its distal end, 

 yellowish-white ; dactyl of same color but with a median circular 

 band of reddish-brown and a black tip. On the outer surface 

 of the propodos of the third pereiopod of the left side is a broad 

 and shallow, but well marked, longitudinal furrow. 



Eight specimens, several with ova. In various gastropod 

 shells, found under stones on shore of Castle Harbor and dredged 

 in the channel, '97. 



Distribution : West Indies. 



38. Clibanarius tricolor (Gibbes). 



Pagunis tricolor Gibbes, Proc. Am. As. Adv. Sci., III., p. 189, 

 1850. 



Numerous specimens in various small spiral shells from 

 Bailey's Bay and Castle Harbor '97 and '98. Several specimens 

 were collected which had adopted the shell of the Pulmonate, 

 Biilinius decollatiis, as their habitation. 



This brightly colored and very active little hermit crab is very 

 abundant among the stones in tide-pools. 



Reported by Heilprin ; Goode collection. 



Distribution : Florida and West Indies.

39. Scyllarus aequinoctialis Lund. 

 Lund, Skrivter Naturh. Selsk., II., pt. 2, p. 21. Copenhagen 



1793- 

 Three specimens, 2$ ,\ 9 , bought from fishermen were sent 



alive to the New York Aquarium in '97, but did not survive. 



Hielprin reports a Scyllmnis scidpttis M. -Edwards, purchased 

 at the Crawl. My specimens differ from M. -Edwards' description 

 of ^. sculptiis in the lack of the median spines and it is probable 

 that ^. cEqidnoctialis — the common West Indian form, is the one 

 reported by Hielprin rather than 6". scidpttis. 



Reported also by J. M. Jones. 



Distribution : West Indies to Brazil.
