S. I. Smith — Crustaceans of the Atlantic Coast. 
1878, fine specimens were obtained from off Sable Island!, Nova 
Scotia, 250 fathoms, rocks (Philip Merchant and Thomas Ginnevan, 
schooner “Marion”); from Marble Head Bank (schooner “Charger”); 
and one caught, in 1872, in Harbor Cove, Gloucester (Edw. W. 
Hodgkins). Specimens are occasionally brought from different 
fishing banks off the coast, where they are taken on trawl or cod 
lines, especially upon rocky bottoms. It has been reported from 
Greenland, but it is not inserted in Reinhardt’s list (Rink’s Natur- 
historiske Bedrag til en Beskrivelse af Gronland, 1857, p. 28) and 
Ltitken in a foot-note to his list (Manual of Instructions for the 
[British] Arctic Expedition, 1875, p. 146) says its occurrence in 
Greenland needs confirmation. 
In Europe it is found upon the whole Atlantic coast of Scandinavia ! 
(G. O. Sars), about the northern portions of the British Islands, and, 
according to Van Beneden, rarely upon the coast of Belgium. 
Eupagurus bernhardus Brandt ex Linne. 
Not rare in the eastern part of Long Island Sound !, Block Island 
Sound !, and off Block Island!, in 10 to 50 fathoms, sandy and hard 
bottoms, 1874; all the specimens small, however. Off Newport!, 
Rhode Island, 29 fathoms, 1872. Not uncommon in the deeper parts 
of the outer portion of Vineyard Sound!, 1871 and 1875; large speci- 
mens were taken in 8 to 1 2 fathoms, sandy bottom, near Menemsha 
Bight, and also at about the same depth, rocky bottom, off Gay 
Head. South of Cape Cod, it appears not to be abundant and I have 
never seen it at low-water. 
Stellwagen’s Bank !, 34 fathoms, sand, 1873. Gloucester!, Massa- 
chusetts, abundant at and just below low- water, 1878. Off Cape 
Ann!, 33 fathoms, gravel and stones, 1873. Very common in Casco 
Bay!, 1873, in 3 to 30 fathoms, sandy, gravelly, rocky, shelly and 
spongy bottoms, and occasionally on soft muddy bottoms in shallow 
water; dredged also in 48 to 64 fathoms, mud, sixteen to twenty miles 
off' Cape Elizabeth, and found at low-water mark !, among rocks, on 
Ram Island Ledge. In the Bay of Fundy!, 1864, 1868, 1870 and 
1872, it was occasionally found at low-water, and was common at the 
same depths and on similar bottoms as in Casco Bay; also dredged off 
White Head !, Grand Menan, in 40 to 50 fathoms, 1872. In the region 
of St. George’s Banks!, 1872, it was dredged in abundance in 25 
to 45 fathoms, sand ; and in less abundance in 50 fathoms, sand and 
shells, and 150 fathoms, sandy mud. In and near Halifax Harbor, 
Nova Scotia!, 18 to 25 fathoms, sand, gravel, stones, and sand and
