50 S. I. Smith — Crustaceans of the Atlantic Coast. 
Harbor in 77 fathoms, mud and stones; and off White Head, Grand 
Menau, in 40 to 50 fathoms, and 97 to 105 fathoms. In the region of 
St. George’s Banks !, 1872 , it was common in 50 , 60 and 65 fathoms, 
sand and shells; 45 fathoms, coarse sand; 150 fathoms, sand and 
mud; and six rather small specimens were brought up from 430 
fathoms, sand, gravel and stones. Near Cashe’s Ledge!, Gulf of 
Maine, 52 to 90 fathoms, rocky; 65 fathoms, mud and sand, and 110 
fathoms, mud, 1873 - 4 . Fifteen miles southeast of Monhegan Island !, 
off the coast of Maine, 82 fathoms, brown mud, 1873 . Off' Shelburne !, 
Nova Scotia, 47 fathoms, stony, 1877 . Le Have Bank!, 45 fathoms, 
gravel and stones, and 6o fathoms, stones and sponges, abundant, 
1872 . Halifax Harbor!, Nova Scotia, 16 fathoms, fine sand and red 
algae, 1877 . Off Halifax!, 57 fathoms, mud and pebbles, 1877 . One 
hundred and twenty miles south of Halifax!, 190 fathoms, 1877 . 
Gulf of St. Lawrence !, “ widely distributed through the Gulf” 
(Whiteaves). Labrador (A. S. Packard, Jr.). Greenland (Kroyer). 
Puget Sound (Stimpson). Lofoten Islands!, coast of Norway (G. O. 
Sars), and probably all the coast of northern Europe. Those from 
the coast of Norway, labeled pubescens by Professor G. O. Sars, are 
very characteristic specimens of Krogeri. Norman’s remark under 
Pagurus pubescens (Last report on dredging among the Shetland 
Isles, Report British Assoc. Advanc. Sci. for 1867 , p. 264 ) that “ a 
variety occurs in which the hands are entirely free from the hairs 
which ordinarily clothe them” probably refers to this species. 
Parapagurus, gen. nov. 
The genus here proposed is allied to Eupagurus and Paguristes , 
but the branchiae (of which there are eleven pairs, two each at the 
bases of the external maxillipeds and the three first pairs of cephalo- 
thoracic legs, and three at the bases of the fourth pair of cephalo- 
thoracic legs, — as in Eupagurus bernhardus ) are composed of numer- 
ous cylindrical papillae, as in the majority of Macrura, instead of 
lamellae, as in most Paguroids. It also differs from Eupagurus in hav- 
ing well-developed and symmetrically paired male appendages upon 
the first and second segments of the abdomen, and from Paguristes 
in the chelipids being very unequal and the external maxillipeds 
widely separated at their bases, — in both of which characters it agrees 
with Eupagurus. The small size of the eyes, the great length of the 
antennulse and antennse, and the narrowness of the sternum between 
the bases of the second and third pairs of cephalothoracic legs, are 
apparently additional generic characters.
