I have compared this specimen with the original specimens from the Gulf of 

 St. Lawrence described by Whiteaves, and find no differences of any impor- 

 tance whatever. The species is perhaps identical with some one of the ten 

 species of Galathocles described by Milne-Edwards, but with which, if with 

 any, it seems impossible to determine from the descriptions alone.

Also taken in great abundance in the U. S. Fish Commission dredgings off 

 Martha's Vineyard, in 1880 and 1881, in 65 to 200 fathoms. 



This species will probably prove identical with one of the eleven species 

 enumerated by A. Milne-Edwards in his report on the " Blake " Crustacea from 

 the West Indies, but with which one it is not possible to tell from the descrip- 

 tions alone. Before the publication of Milne-Edwards's report I referred this 

 species doubtfully, as indicated above, to Munida Caribcea of Stimpson, de- 

 scribed from a single very small specimen, but it is probably not the species 

 referred to the Caribcea by Milne-Edwards. It is now impossible to tell with 

 certainty to which of the numerous Caribbean species Stimpson's really belongs, 

 but it is perhaps best to restrict it to the one called Caribcea by Milne-Edwards, 

 whatever that may be, although he gives no description whatever.
