CATALOGUE 
OF THE 
CRUSTACEA IN THE PROVINCIAL MUSEUM 
VICTORIA. 
By C. F. Newcombe, M. D. 
o 
In preparing the following Catalogue of the Brachyura and Anomura of 
British Columbia, the writer has had great assistance from Mr. James E. 
Benedict and Miss Mary J. Rath bun, of the United States National 
Museum, Washington. 
By their aid all doubtful species have been named or verified, and three 
species belonging to the Province, but not in the collection of the Museum, 
have been added to it. 
As Brandt’s descriptions of his genera and species of Anomoura are seldom 
accessible to students on this side of the American continent, it has been 
thought advisable to give them somewhat fully. Short notes of all the other 
species are also given. 
The plates are of rare species in the Museum, from photographs taken by 
Fleming Bros., of Victoria.
