Walter Faxon there is in the Museum of Com- parative Zoology, Cambridge, Mass., a -pecimen of Cancer borealis Stimpson, labelled as from Bermuda. My belief is that its label is erroneous, or has been accidentally transposed. It is a large northern species, common at low tide on some of the rocky shores of Casco Bay, Me., and ranging southward in the deeper water of the arctic current as far as off Cape Boscia ?, sp. states that he collected a species in iicrmuda "allied to ; No such species \\-as mentioned in the final report by Miers. To what he refers is problematical. Jlnxi-iu is a fresh-water genus {—Pseudothelphusa). See Bibliography, below. Libinia emarginata Leach=L. <-<ni<i/i<-iiliii<t. This species is recorded by Hurdis (Rough Notes, p. ^<J1), without any notes. It has not been found by anyone else. Probably his identification was erroneous. It is common from Cape Cod to Figure 37.—Deformed claw of an undetermined cancroid crab, from the collec- tion of J. M. Jones, but without a special label.
