8, 1876; Newport. — Rathbun. Bay shore of 
Pasque Island, at Phalarope station 84*; 1 
young. — Survey. Found in oyster beds, ac- 
cording to Smith, “apparently . . . intro- 
duced from farther south with the oysters.”

Vineyard Sound, 1875, 1882; New Bedford, 1882 
(W. Nye, jr., collector). — Rathbun. This spe- 
cies was listed by Verrill and Smith (1873) from 
nearly every sort of shore and bottom , as well as 
from piles and upon oyster beds, where it was 
said to be very abundant. These authors ap- 
parently regarded P. depressus as even com- 
moner locally than P. sayi. There is here 
apparently a confusion of species. Miss Rath- 
bun has not found a single undoubted specimen

of depressus among the very numerous crabs 
from the survey dredging collections which 
have been referred to her; and but a single 
specimen in a lot of panopeid crabs obtained at 
about a dozen different points along shore. 
This last was taken at Wareham River, on a 
muddy bank.

Very abundant in the eastern half of Vineyard 
Sound and the upper half of Buzzards Bay, 
though not confined to these regions; appar- 
ently absent from the western end of Vineyard 
Sound. — Survey. Dredged in 2 to 17 fath- 
oms, on all sorts of bottoms. Very common, 
likewise, along shore, especially in muddy 
places, and on piles among algae, etc. Re-
