Hapalogaster inermis Stimpson. 



Stimpson, Annals Lyceum Nat. Hist. New York, vii., p. 243 (115), 1860. 

 I refer to this sjiecies, with some* doubt, a single female from the 

 shores of the Queen Charlotte Islands. The chelipeds are not 

 described by Stimpson, but in the specimen before me they are very 

 unequal, the right being twice as stout as the left, very much less 

 setose, and the excavated fingers are entirely without horny tips. 



Eupagurus granosimanus Stimpson. 



Stimpson, Annals Lyceum Nat. Hist. New York, vii., p. 90 (44), 1859. 

 Several dry specimens, most of them very small, from near Victoria, 

 V.I. I think it not improbable that this species will prove to be 

 synonymous with E. Middendorffii Brandt. Brandt's species was 

 described and figured from a specimen considerably larger than the 

 specimens examined by Stimpson or those before me, and it very likely 

 is only the fully adult form of Stimpson's species. 



Eupagurus tenuimanus Stimpson (ex Dana). 



One specimen from shallow dredgings, Port Simpson to the north 

 end of Vancouver Island. The propodus of the larger cheliped is fully 

 as broad as in Dana's specimens, but the inner edge is less sharply 

 dentate and the outer edge less strongly curved. There is no doubt of 

 its identity with Dana's species, however. 



There are several small specimens of Eupagurus from 15 to 8 fath., 

 Virago Sound, 20 fath., mouth of Cumshewa Harbour, and from Hous- 

 ton Stewart Channel, Q.C.I., which are distinct from either of the 

 above species, but they appear to be immature and are not easily 

 determined.
