B. EASTERN SECTION. 



I. TORRID SUBKINGDOM. 



1. The Caribbean Province (torrid), including the West India 

 Islands, and the northern and northeastern coast of South America, 

 from the north of Yucatan to beyond Bahia. Length, along the South 

 American coast alone, about four thousand miles. There are as yet 

 no known Caribbean genera of Podophthalmia, that do not occur in 

 other Provinces in this or the other kingdoms. Miihrax and Uca are the 

 more characteristic genera, and the latter is reported elsewhere only 

 from Guayaquil, Brazil. The following are prominent forms : — Chori- 

 nus 7ieros, Pericera comuta, and P, 2>-spinosa, Amphitrite forceps and A. 

 3-spinosa, Ocypoda rhombea, Calappa marmorata, Atya occidentalism Pali- 

 nurus longimanus, Palosmon Jamaicensis. The Torrid zone genus 

 Carpilius contains two West Indian species, one of which (C. macu- 

 latus) is a cosmopolite, and allies the West Indies to the Oriental seas. 

 Dromia, although a warm-water genus, has but a single representative, 

 D. latior; and of Chlorodius, so common in the Orient, in like manner, 

 only one species has been observed, and that occurs also in the Pacific. 

 There is but a single species of Leucosidae known ; but the Caribbean 

 species of Crustacea, it must be acknowledged, are not very thoroughly 

 known. Through Leptopodia sagittaria the province is related to 

 the Canaries. 



2. The Floridan Province (subtorrid), Key West and a part of 

 Florida are here embraced, together with the Bermudas. Length on 

 the United States coast, two hundred miles. The species are mostly 

 those of the Caribbean Sea. A Libinia, Hyas, Epiallus, and Menippe, 

 have been reported from Key West and Florida, that are not men- 

 tioned as occurring about the West India Islands; also, several 

 Sesarmas, a Ranilia, and a Oallianassa; these genera are none of them
