At locality (3), each of the three specimens was found under 

 a separate railroad crosstie along the dry ditch, near entrances to 

 burrows that could be seen to reach water. The ditch normally 

 contains water, but this area was in the midst of a prolonged drought 

 that had been broken only by some rainfall on the previous night. 

 Other ditches had some water. In captivity, the form I male, collected 

 in April, molted and died on 29 September 1985, but remained 

 form I. 



Procambarus pearsei 



Hobbs (1975:14) mapped 22 unspecified localities for P. pearsei 

 in the Cape Fear, Lumber, and Waccamaw basins in Bladen, Brunswick, 

 Columbus, Cumberland, Robeson, and Sampson counties. This same 

 map inadvertently indicated an additional locality for P. pearsei in 

 the Neuse River drainage of Johnston County. This should have been 

 for P. medialis; the position of the dot corresponds to a locality for 

 this species given by Hobbs (1975:13), ". . . 5.3 miles south of 

 Smithfield on U. S. Highway 706." The nearest headwater stream of 

 the Cape Fear basin, Mingo Swamp, rises at the extreme western edge 

 of Johnston County, about 2.5 air mi (4.0 air km) SSW of site (1) 

 above. Thus, the range of P. pearsei given by Hobbs (1989:70) as 

 "Johnston and Sampson counties, North Carolina, south to . . . .," 

 currently requires the deletion of Johnston County. 



The following localities add P. pearsei to the Cape Fear basin in 

 Bladen County, and extend the known range slightly west in the 

 Lumber River basin into Hoke and Scotland counties. CAPE FEAR
