All the specimens were brick red in color, and all except those 

 from locality (6) were dug from burrows, usually constructed among 

 soil and roots in boggy areas. The bog at locality (1) was about 8 m 

 from a small, rocky stream, tributary to Buck Creek (Nantahala River). 

 Only one other crayfish, a juvenile male C. b. bartonii, was dug from 

 this bog. In the nearby stream, under rocks and in substrate under 

 rocks, we found other C. b. bartonii, and a female of an unidentified 

 Cambarus. The stream was about 1- to 1.5-m wide, 7- to 8-cm deep, 

 and had a low gradient and low velocity current. At locality (4), an 

 unidentified Cambarus was found under a rock in wet sand near the 

 bog, and at locality (5) C. b. bartonii was found in the stream but 

 not in the boggy area. 



Cambarus (Jugicambarus) dubius Faxon 

 There are a number of published localities for C. dubius in North 

 Carolina, including recent ones in Hobbs and Peters (1977:24, 50; 

 1989:324). The range of the species in North Carolina, however, is 

 poorly known, both because it is a primary burrower and difficult to 

 find and collect, and because of taxonomic uncertainties. In general, 

 the species occurs in "northwestern North Carolina" (Hobbs 1989: 

 22), "north and west of the French Broad River basin" (Bouchard 

 1976:594). Little has been published about its natural history in North 

 Carolina.
