 Nassau, N. P., Jan., 1890.

I refer these imperfect specimens doubtfully to this species. The 

 chelce are wanting in (a) , and (b) is too much broken to be of any value 

 in the determination.

Pagurus tricolor Gibbes, Proc. Amer. Assoc., p. 189, 1850. 



(a) Several specimens. 



(b) 1 $ . South side New Providence, in small shells of Strombus 

 gigas. 



The determination is doubtful, as the specimens are very poor 

 and have almost entirely lost their color. They are all withdrawn into 

 the shells of various littoral mollusks.
