S. I. Smith — Crustaceans of the Atlantic Coast.

Professor G. O. Sars ; a similar series from the British Isles, received 
from the Reverend A. M. Norman; and a miscellaneous collection of 
authentically determined species received through Professor A. Milue- 
Edwards, from the Jardin des Plantes at Paris. These European 
collections have been of the greatest service for comparison with our 
closely allied or identical species. The collection from the Reverend 
Mr. Norman, however, has been received since the following pages 
were written, so that it is only occasionally referred to. 
To the kindness of Mr. J. F. Whiteaves of Montreal, I am indebted 
for the opportunities of examining very nearly all the crustaceans 
obtained in his extended explorations of the Gulf of St. Lawrence. 
Brief accounts of these explorations by Mr, Whiteaves, w'hose inves- 
tigations have added very largely to the knowledge of the fauna of the . 
Gulf of St. Lawrence, are contained in his several reports to the 
Minister of Marine and Fisheries for the Dominion of Canada. 
Gelasimus pugnax Smith. 
Salt-marshes at Provincetown ! (1872) and Barnstable! (1875), 
Massachusetts, and south to Florida! (Col. W. E. Foster, Dr. H. S. 
Williams, et al.) and the island of Hayti ! (Dr. D. F. Weinland, J. S. 
Adam). 
Gelasimus pugilator Latreille ex Bose. 
Muddy and sandy flats, Provincetown !, Massachusetts, 1872, to 
the west coast of Florida ! (Col. E. Jewett). These species of Gelas- 
imus and the two following species belong properly to the fauna of 
southern New England, which, as I have elsewhere remarked, seems 
to extend across Cape Cod into the shallow waters of Cape Cod Bay. 
Callinectes hastatUS Ordway ex Say. 
A large specimen of this species has been reported from Salem, 
Massachusetts, (C. Cooke, American Naturalist, i, p. 52, 1867). This 
individual was probably only a wanderer from farther south, although 
the species may occur in Cape Cod Bay, during favorable seasons. 
Platyonichus ocellatus Latreille ex Ilerbst. 
Provincetown ! (1872) and Barnstable ! (1875), Massachusetts ; 
abundant at the latter place. Fort Macon !, North Carolina (Cones, 
Packard), to Key West, Florida (Gibbes). Sandy shores and bot- 
toms, low water to 10 fathoms.
