New Crayfish Species 
85 
ACKNOWLEDGMENTS — We are indebted to all those persons 
who collected or assisted in collecting crayfishes in the Neuse and 
Tar-Pamlico basins; their names are provided elsewhere in this paper. 
We are particularly indebted to Alvin L. Braswell and Ray E. Ashton, 
Jr., who supervised the field work for the N. lewisi project and made 
certain that crayfishes received considerable attention. The North Carolina 
Wildlife Resources Commission and the Office of Endangered Species, 
United States Fish and Wildlife Service, provided major funding for 
the N. lewisi project, and other funds were provided by the North 
Carolina State Museum of Natural Sciences. We thank Joseph F. Fitz- 
patrick for his invaluable review of the manuscript. JEC expresses 
his sincerest personal gratitude to J. E. Cooper, Jr., R. E. Ashton, 
Jr., L. Ferguson, J. R. Holsinger, G. Leake, J. Perry, W. J. Rishel, 
and his co-author, and especially to D. Howard and A. L. Braswell, 
without whose assistance this paper could never have been completed. 
Finally, we cannot adequately express our gratitude to the late 
Horton H. Hobbs, Jr., who provided invaluable guidance and construc- 
tive criticism in our studies of crayfishes. He reviewed an early draft 
of this paper. His generosity, although legendary, was ever a source 
of amazement, and he is sorely missed.
