S. T. Smith — Crustaceans of the Atlantic Coast. 
fathoms ; also found at low-water mark !, among rocks, at Earn Island 
Ledge, and dredged in 48 to 64 fathoms, mud, 16 to 20 miles off 
Cape Elizabeth. In the Bay of Fundy !, 1864, 1868, 1870 and 1872, 
it was found in abundance at about the same depths as in Casco Bay, 
was rarely found at low-water mark, and, in 1 872, was dredged in 
77 fathoms, mud and stoues, off Head Harbor, near Eastport, and 
also in 97 to 105 fathoms, gravel and sand, off White Head, Grand 
Menan. In 1873, it was dredged, eight miles south off Monhegan 
Island !, off the coast of Maine, in 64 fathoms, mud and sand ; and 
in 1874, on Cashe’s Ledge !, in 27 fathoms, rocks and gravel. In the 
region of St. George’s Banks!, 1872: 30 and 40 fathoms, sand ; 50 
and 60 fathoms, sand and shells; 65 fathoms, dead shells ; and 150 
fathoms, sandy mud. About thirty miles southeast one-half east 
from Cape Sable!, Nova Scotia, 88 fathoms, very fine sand, 1877. 
In Bedford Basin !, Halifax, 35 fathoms, soft mud, 1877. In and 
near Halifax Harbor !, 1877, 15 to 42 fathoms, sand, sand and red algm, 
rocks, mud and stones. Gulf of St. Lawrence ! (Whiteaves). Labra- 
dor! (Packard). Greenland (Kroyer, Norman). Bering Sea (Brandt, 
Stimpson). In the European seas, upon the coasts of Scandinavia 
and the British Islands. 
On account of the apparent confusion of this species with the next 
I am not able to give the range of either of them upon the European 
coast with any certainty. 
Eupagurus Kroyeri Stimpson. 
This species and the last, although very closely allied and having 
apparently very similar geographical distribution, appear to be 
entitled to rank as distinct species ; at least I have not been able to 
discover, in examining several hundreds of specimens, any which 
are intermediate between the two forms indicated by Stimpson. 
The Kvoyeri attains nearly or quite as great size as the pubescens , 
but Stimpson had only small specimens of Kroyeri and the differ- 
ences which he mentions in the relative lengths of the chelipeds and 
ambulatory legs do not hold good for full-grown specimens. The 
other differences which he points out, however, are quite sufficient for 
separating the species. The difference in the amount of pubescence 
is usually fully sufficient to distinguish them at a glance, but the form 
and ornamentation of the chelipeds afford the best distinctions. The 
tubercles and spines,— except the single series along the edge of the 
dorsal carina of the propodus of the left, or smaller, clieliped, — are
