The following notes on Crayfishes were made during an examination of all the Crayfishes that have been received at the United States National Museum and the Museum of Comparative Zoology since my last paper on these animals was published in tlie Proceedings of the United States National Museum, Feb. 7, 1898, 20, p. 643-694, pi. 62-70. I am deeply indebted to the authorities of the National Museum for sending to me the vast amount of material that has come to Washington since my last review of the subject. I am also indebted to Mr. W. P. Hay of Washington, Prof. S. E. Meek of the Field Museum of Natural History, Chicago, 111., and Dr. A. E. Ortmann of the Carnegie Museum, Pitts- burgh, Pa., for the loan of specimens. NOTES ON THE CRAYFISHES. AsTACopsis AUSTRALASiENSis (Millie Edwarcls). Astacus auslralasic7isis M. Edw., Hist. Nat. Crustaccs, 1837, 2, p. 332, pi. 24, f. 1-5. There are two cotypes of this species in the Museum of Natural History in Paris. One of these, a female, has been kindly loaned to me by Prof. E. L. Bouvier. The rostrum of this specimen is long-triangular, excavated, the acumen provided with an upturned, blunt, apical denticle and a similar denticle on each side ; behind the lateral denticles the margins of the rostrum are obscurely crenate. The post-orbital ridges terminate anteriorly in a blunt tubercle; they are chamielled throughout their length and are followed by two obsolescent tubercles at a little lower level on the gastric region; the liepatic area also is tuberculated and a few less prominent tubercles are \'isible on the posterior margin of the cervical groove on each side of the carapace. The areola is broad, narrowing from before backward, punctate. Branchial regions obsoletely squa- mose. Abdomen rather smooth, with a submarginal row of small tubercles on the pleura of the second somite; pleura rounded. Spine on dorsal face of inner branch of posterior abdominal appendages submarginal. Antennal scale of moderate width, flanked with a sharp denticle on the outer side at the base. Anterior process of the epistome triangular, with convex sides, ending anteriorly in an attenuated angle. Chelipeds nearly symmetrical, meros armed below with spines biserially disposed, upper margin thereof also furnished with a few (three or four) spinules; upper margin of carpus armed with two prominent spines, the distal the larger; outer face furrowed longitudinally, .slightly tubercu- late along the upper edge of the furrow; inner face of the carpus somewhat tuberculate and armed with one spine in the middle of the distal border. Propo- dite distinctly carinate on the upper border, less distinctly so on its lower border; the superior crest is cut into five teeth, the lower margin is denticulate; the outer face of the propodite is thickly covered with depressed tubercles. Dactylus furnished with one denticle near the proximal end of the upper border. Length, 03 mm.; length of carapace, 30.5 mm.; breadth of carapace, 13 mm.; length of areola, 9 mm.; breadth of areola at anterior end, 6 mm., at posterior end, 4.5 mm.; length of chela, 20 nmi.; breadth of chela, 10 mm.; length of dactylus, 11.5 mm. Bay of Sydney, Verreaux, No. 944, 1837. 352 CRAYFISHES. 1 doubt if this is the specimen figured by Mihie Edwards: he gives as the length of the body, two inches; the figure, which is said to be Ufe size, is 56 mm. long. Dr. Giuseppe Nobili ' also has examined the same cotype belonging to the Paris Museum and is con\inced that it belongs to the same species as a male specimen, 66 mm. long, in the Museum of Natural History of Genoa, said to have been collected by D'Albertis in 1872 on the little island of Sorong in the Strait of Galevo, northwestern coast of New Guinea. Perhaps a misplacement of labels has occurred in this case; the extraordinary distribution of this species implied by the nominal locality label accompanying the Genoa specimen, as well as the nature of the islet of Sorong, make it probable that the specimen was in reality secured at Sydney, Australia, where D'Albertis collected in 1873. Astacopsis australasiensis may turn out to be nothing but an immature stage of A. spinifera. ASTACONEPHROPS ALBERTISII Nobili. Aslaconciiliiops albrrtinii NoniLi, Annali Miis. Civ. Storia Nat.

The genus Astaconephrops, with its one species alhertisii, based on a single female specimen in tlie Museum of Genoa which is said to have come from Katau on the southern coast of New Guinea, needs further elucidation. Accord- ing to Nobili the margins of the rostrum (which in a general way resembles the rostrum of Paranephrops) are continued back, in the shape of two keels, over the carapace to the cervical groove; the abdominal segments are produced into points laterally; the inner branch of the last pair of abdominal appendages is furnished with a rib or keel on the dorsal face, terminating in a spine near the centre of the branch; the chelae are long and slender and on account of the elevation of the middle of the two faces appear subprismatical ; the carpus is cylindrical, or rather depressed, and armed on the inner side with a sharp spine concealed in a large tuft of hairs; the inner margin of the palm is furnished with minute teeth, all the rest of the palm being smooth; the fingers are unarmed, but provided with hairs along their cutting edges. From the description of this animal given by Nobili one would infer a com- bination of the characters of Nephrops, Paranephroi^s and Cheraps.

CRAYFISHES. 353 branchial formula is the same as in the genus Cheraps, and essentially the same as in Paranephrops ; but according to Nobili the podobranchiae of the eighth and ninth somites are not furnished with an ala or lamina in the genus Astacone- phrops, whereas in the genus Cheraps these podobranchiae are alate. Parastacus araucanius, sp. nov. Plate 4. Male: — Cephalothorax shorter than the abdomen, strongly compressed laterally, mostly smooth, minutely granulated on the sides; areola broad (about two thirds as broad as long), minutely punctated; rostrum short, not reaching the distal end of the second antennulary segment, margins elevated, slightly convergent from base to near the tip, where they abruptly converge to form the abbreviated acumen; the infero-lateral edges of the rostrum are %'isible from above, forming the superior border of the orbit separated from the supero-lateral edge of the rostrum by a groove; distal half of the rostrum concave above; antero-lateral margins of the carapace produced into a prominent, rounded angle below the small eye which lies in a deep and uncommonly complete orbit. Post-orbital ridges, obsolete. The pleural angles of the abdomen are rounded, the telson long with a pair of lateral spines and a longitudinal median furrow on its upper face along its distal half; the mecUan rib on the upper side of the inner branch of the last pair of abdominal appendages ends in a small spine situate a little distance from the margin. Antcnnal scale short and broad. The chelipeds are asymmetrical, the right one being the larger; the meros is tuber- culated on its lower face, granulate on the superior margin, but destitute of spines ; the surface of the carpus is lightly squamoso-granulate, the granulations becoming more pronounced on the supero-interior edge where they take the form of blunt tubercles; the chela, too, is lightly squamoso-granulate, without any prominent spine or tubercle, except one ]:)lunt tubercle or tooth near the base of the immovable finger; the superior and inferior borders are rounded. Dimensions. Length, 42 mm.; length of cephalothorax, 19 mm.; length of areola, 6 mm., breadth of areola, 4 mm.; length of larger claw, 15.5 mm., breadth of do., 7 mm., length of dactylus, 8.5 mm. Corral, Chile, Dec. 18, 1908, in a cascade stream. Thomas Barbour coll., M. C. Z., No. 7,355. This species is related to P. nicoleti (Phil.) and P. hassleri Fax. Like these it has a strongly compressed cephalothorax, indicating a burrow-dwelling species. 354 CRAYFISHES. It differs from both of these species in its short and broad areola. Compared with P. nicolcti, it differs in the lack of sculpture of the chela and carpus. Com- pared with P. hasskri, the rostrum is shorter, broader, and more abruptly trun- cate, the chela is rounded above and below and unprovided with the crest-like series of low, squamous tubercles. Six species of Parastacus have been previously described from Chile, viz.: — P. chilensis (M. Edw.) in 1837, P. spinifrons (Philippi) in 1882, P. nicoleti (Phi- lippi) in 1882, P. bimaculatus (Philippi) in 1894, P. agassizii Fax. in 1898, and P. hassleri Fax. in 1898. The type of P. chilensis, a single dry specimen, is in the Museum d'Histoire Naturelle in Paris, and should be more fully described, since Milne Edwards's diagnosis (Hist. Nat. Crust., 1837, 2, p. 333) is entirely insufficient. In 1849 (Gay's Hist. Chile, Zool., 3, p. 211, Atlas, 2, Crust, pi. 1, f. 4) Nicolet described and figured as Astacus chilensis M. Edw. a crayfish cer- tainly different from Milne Edwards's species, and R. A. Philippi therefore gave Nicolet's species a new name, Astacus nicoleti, in a paper published in the Anales de la Universidad de Chile, 1882, 61. In a paper published in 1898 when I was ignorant of Philippi's paper, I also gave a name to Nicolet's crayfish, fortunately the same name that had been already given it by Philippi. In the same paper Philippi describes and figures a new species, Astacus spinifrons; the diagnosis is as follows: — A. rostro elongato-triangulari ad basin utrinque spinula acuta; carpo extus profunde sulcato, margine superiore grosse tuberculato; mano crassa subtus rotundata; digitis baud hneato-sulcatis, intus basi longe barbato-ciliatis. In 1894 Philippi ' pubUshed a description of another new species of Parasta- cus from Chile under the name of Astacus bimaculatus. This is probably the species which I described later by the name of Parastacus agassizii (Proc. U. S. Nat. Mus., 1898, 20, p. 690). Parastacus spinifrons (Philippi). Plate 9, Fig. 1. Aslncus spinifrons Philippi, Anales Univers. Chile, 1882, 61. A male Parastacus in the Museum of Natural History, Paris, sent to me for identification by Prof. E. L. Bouvier, I think belongs to this species. It differs, ' Dos Palabras sobre la Sinoniniia de los Crustdceas, Dccdpodos, Braquiuros o Jaivas de Chile. Anales Universidad Chile, 1S94, 87, p. 369-379. I have been unable to eonsult either of Philippi's memoirs directly. Miss Rathbun, however, has kindly furnished me with a transcript of the earlier one, copied from the volume of the Anales in the Library of Congress, Washington, and Dr. A. E. Ortmann has courteously lent me a MS. copy of the later paper, given to him by F. Philippi, son of the author, about 1900. CRAYFISHES. 355 it is true, from Philippi's figures of P. spinifrons, at least from the copy of those figures in Dr. Ortmann's possession, in some respects, for instance the rostrum is shorter and broader and the immobile finger of the large claw is much longer. These discrepancies may be due to the inaccuracy of the original figures or of the copy of these figures which is all that I have before me. Philippi's diagnosis, moreover, takes no account of the pronounced asymmetry of the chelipeds, a marked feature of the specimen from the Paris Museum. I append a description of the latter; future explorations in Chile will determine whether it is the same species as PhiUppi's. Cephalothorax subcylindrical, smooth, shorter than the abdomen; areola broad, considerably less than one half the length of the anterior section of the carapace ; rostrum triangular, reaching to the distal end of the second antennu- lary segment, upper surface plane, with slightly elevated margins; post-orbital ridges obscurely marked except anteriorly where they form an elongate, low, tubercle without an acute spine; the antero-lateral angle of the carapace is produced to a prominent blunt angle below the orbit; there is no lateral or branchiostegian spine. The abdominal pleura are broad, with rounded angles. The antennal scales are broad, broadest in the middle; lower surface of the peduncle of the antenna hairy ; epistoma triangular, anterior angle acute ; third pair of maxillipeds clothed with dense hair below. Chelipeds unsymmetrical, the right one being much the larger, meros pretty smooth, except on its lower face which is provided with a row of small marginal tubercles and clothed with a heavy coat of hair; the superior margin of the meros is destitute of a spine; the carpus has a deep longitudinal groo\'e along its external face; below this groove the surface is smooth, alcove it there are small sriuamous tubercles which on the superior border of the carpus assume the form of prominent tubercles, or blunt teeth, four or five in number; the infero-interior face of the carpus of the larger cheliped is likewise furnished with similar tubercles; the right (larger) claw is very thick, with rounded superior and inferior borders; the body of the claw is beset with flattened low tubercles which are most pronounced anteriorly, near the socket of the dactylopodite ; the fingers gape, are pitted in place of being tuberculated, and there are about three blunt teeth on the cutting edge of each finger, one of which is especially prominent; both fingers are heavily bearded at the base, especially on the inner side; the left (smaller) claw is nearly smooth, with long and slender fingers that meet throughout their length, destitute of teeth liut furnished with a beard at the base, like the larger claw.

Length, 90 nun., length of carapace, 41 mm., width of carapace, 20 mm., width of base of rostrum, 6.5 mm., length of rostrum, 9 mm., length of areola, 11.5 mm., breadth of areola, 7 mm., length of antennal scale, 7 mm., greatest breadth of do., 4 mm., length of larger claw, 31 mm., breadth of do., 17.5 mm., length of superior margin of hand, 10 mm., length of dactylus, 19 mm., length of smaller chela, 23 mm., breadth of do., 9 mm., length of dactylus, 16 mm. There are four specimens of this species in the U. S. National Museum from the rivulets of MM. Bock and Jones, Lake Nahuel Huapi, on the eastern slope of the Cordilleras in Ai'gentina. The chelipeds are preserved in three of these specimens; in two the larger claw is on the left side, in one it is the right, as in the Paris specimen. The tip of the rostrum is setose in this species, and in most cases there are a pair of minute, horny, bead-hke lateral teeth just back of the point of the ros- trum. The rostrum is therefore essentially like that of P. bimaculatus. From the latter the present species differs in having much stouter, shorter-fingered, more heavily tuberculated claws, and a somewhat longer metathorax and nar- rower areola. Parastacus ayassizii (= bimaculalus) has been recorded from Lake Nahuel Huapi by Ortmann (Proc. Amer. Philos. Soc, 41, p. 293). The specimens should be examined anew with reference to the possibility of their belonging to the present species, P. spinifrons f Specimens from Puerto Montt, Lake Llanquihue, on the opposite slope of the Cordilleras, in Chile, are said by Doflein (Sitzungsber. Akad. Wissensch. Miinchen, 1900, 30, p. 133) to agree wholly with my description of P. agassizii ' (= bimaculatus). Parastacus bimaculatus (Philippi). Astacus bivincutalus H. A.

Porter, Revista Chilena de Hist. Nat., Dec. 31, 1904, 8, p. 258, PI. 9 (Contulino and Chilian, Chile). '- The error in the branchial formula of P. agassizii as it appears in my paper in the Proc. U. S. Nat- Mus., 189S, 20, p. 692, has been pointed out by Doflein. This error was due to an unfortunate disloca- tion of the table in printing, as is evident on comparing the table of the branchial arrangement in the genus Parastacus on p. 683. CRAYFISHES. 357 A single specimen of this species has been lately received at the Museum of Comparative Zoology from Valparaiso, Chile. As noted above, P. agassizii has been recorded from Lake Nahuel Huapi in Argentina by Ortmann (Proc. Amer. Philos. Soc, 41, p. 293). Specimens from this locality in the U. S. National Museum belong to a different although similar species, P. spinifrons (Phil.)? and Dr. Ortmann's determination should therefore be verified. I think that my P. agassizii is the same species as the one previously described by R. A. Philippi in 1894 under the name of Astacus bimaculatus. Philippi's description is as follows: — "Astacus bimaculatus Ph. "A. cephalothorace utrinque macula magna triangulari, albida notato; rostro clongato, peracuto, utrinciue ante apicem denticulo armato, uncle lineae elevatae sensim divergcntes nascuntur; chcUs valde inaequalibus, sinistra majoro; carpo ejus extus inflato, velut buUato, margine superiore unispinoso; digitis gracilibus, denticulatis. Longit. corporis 72 mm., chelae majoris 37 mm. "El color del cuerpo es oscuro siendo una mezcla do negro vcrdoso i de pardo rojizo, como en las demas especies, i en eado lado se ve una gran mancha triangular blanquizca; su supcrficie es lisa, pero las patas anteriores estdn cubiertas de granulaciones bastantc gruesas, que faltan solo en la parte inflada del carpo. El pico es casi tan largo como la escama situada en la base do las antenas esteriores; se adelgaza paulatinamente en una punta mui aguda e inolinada. De cado lado i mui cerca de la punta se notan dos dientecitos puntiagudos, do donde partcn listones bastante elcvados i agudos, qui diverjeu paulatinamente. Un dientccito mui puntiagudo se observa tambien ante el borde do la 6rbita. Las patas anteriores son mui desiguales, la izquierda es mucho mas larga i sobre todo mas gruesa; por lo demas su hechura es la misma. En el borde superior del artlculo tercero se nota una cspina, i dos o tres en el borde inferior. El carpo muestra tambien una o dos espinas en su borde superior, i en .su lado esterior una hinchazon casi semi-globosa, mui notable en el carpo izquierdo, menor pero bien aparente en el derecho. La mano es mucho mas angosta i estirada que en las otras tres especies chQenas, sobre todo los dedos, cuyo liorde interior es finamente dentado. Las otras partes del cuerpo no ofrecen nada de particular." This description agrees pretty well with the species which I described as P. agassizii, but I do not know what Pliilippi means by asserting that the figiu-e of Astacus fluviatilis in the Rcgne Animal of Cuiaer (Disciples' Ed., pi. 49, fig. 2) is an exact representation of his new Chilean species. The colour of the speci- mens from Talcahuano had long since vanished when I described them. Porter, however, has more recently described the living colours of P. agassizii, and they seem to conform in the main to the colour scheme of P. bimaculatus as described by Philippi : "El color es en el dorso i flancos del cuerpo bruno-oUvdceo, notdndose en cada costado del eefalo- t6rax, por detras del surco cervical, una gran mancha triangular de color amarillo limon cuyo vertice redondeado alcanza hasta la areola, confundiendose en esta rejimi con la del lado opuesto en muchos ejem- plares. A veccs se ve ademas luia mancha redondeada del mismo color a pocos millmetros del borde anterior del carapacho. Los tuberculillos cscamiformes de las quelas lo mismo que las espinitas del rostro 358 CRAYFISHES. son anaranjados, color fine sc observa en la parte inferior del cnerpo e inferior e interna de las pataa. Estas ultimas son de color bruno-olivdceo o bien olivdceo, especialmente en las quelas."' With reference to the large triangular colour-patch on each side of the carapace of P. bimaculatus as described by Philippi and of P. agassizii as de- scribed by Porter, it should be observed that spots of the same shape and in the same place are often seen in crayfishes of divers kinds shortly after they are im- mersed in alcohol. These spots or blotches are the result of the quick action of the alcohol on the thinnest part of the branchiostegites, which are bathed in the fluid on both sides, within and without. At first red, these spots afterwards fade into yellowish white, — the colour which ultimately pervades the whole of the body in specimens preserved in spirits. One is almost inclined to suspect that the colour-pattern noted by Philippi and Porter was due to recent immersion of the specimens in alcohol. AsTACUS LENiuscuLus Dana. A large number of specimens of this species were collected for the U. S. National Museum in Johnson Creek, Portland, Multnomah Co., Oregon, by Messrs. Lyon and Benedict in May, 1905. The largest of these are upwards of five and one half inches long and demonstrate the fact that this species has as full, obese a form as .4. irowbridgii. There is considerable variation in relative width of the areola in these specimens. Of twenty-six specimens, eighteen (7cf , 11 9 ) have the right and left claws symmetrical, while in eight (5 cf , 3 9 ) the claws are asymmetrical. In many of the asymmetrical individuals I think the smaller, slenderer claw, which may be either on the right or left side, is a new claw grown after the loss of the original one. In a male specimen collected by Mr. S. E. Meek, in Ten-Mile Lake, Florence, Lane Co., Oregon, Oct. 17, 189G (U. S. N. M. No. 23,121), the chelae have the form characteristic of A. leniusculus, and both pairs of post-orbital spines are developed as in that species, ])ut in the shape of the rostrum and the propor- tions of the areola it agrees with A . trowbridgii. Another specimen in the U. S. National Museum from Astoria, Clatsop Co., Oregon, resembles A. trowbridgii in the breadth and inflation of the claws and the length of the posterior section of the carapace. Still another specimen in the same Museum (collected by Mr. Wm. Palmer) from the base of Mt. Tamalpais, Marin Co., Cal., taken altogether would be classed with .4. trowbridgii; yet in the proportions of the posterior sec- ' Porter, op. cit., p. 258. CRAYFISHES. 359 tion of the carapace and the areola it agrees rather witli A. leniusculus. As these two species inhabit the same region it is possible that they interbreed and produce hybrids. AsTACUS TROWBRiDGii Stimpson. Astacus trowbridgii stands midway between A. leniusculus and A. klama- thensis. As it varies in one direction towards the former species, as has just been shown, so, on the other hand it passes through intermediate forms into the latter species. Such intermediate forms I have seen from Wilson Creek, Willapa, Pacific Co., and Littlerock, Thurston Co., Washington; and Sinslow River, Mapleton, Lane Co., and Wallowa Lake, Oregon. Li dealing with small, imma- ture indiA-iduals it is often difficult if not impossible to decide whether they should be assigned to A. klamathensis or to A. trowbridgii. Astacus klamathensis Stimpson. Plate 11, 12. Astacus klamathensis has a wide distribution in British Columbia, and in the states of Idaho, Washington, Oregon, and northern CaUfornia, in the vast area drained by the Columbia River and its tributaries as well as in the smaller streams that empty into the Pacific Ocean on the west side of the Cascade Range of mountains. Neiv localities: — Idaho: Indian Creek, Washington Co. Washington: Goldendale, Klickitat Co.; Granite Lake, Spokane Co.; Naches River, North Yakima, Yakima Co.; Crab Creek, [Douglas Co.?]; Creek near Hemp P.

Oregon: Wallowa Lake, Wallowa Co.; Silver Creek, Harney Co.; Bear River, Medford, Jackson Co., Johnson Creek, Portland, Multnomah Co.; Nehalem River, Tillamvok Co. California: Shasta River, near Montague, Siskiyou Co.; Cottonwood Creek, near Horn- brook, Siskiyou Co.; Priceland and Garberville, Humboldt Co. In a lot of two dozen or more specimens of this species from Portland, Ore- gon, in the U. S. National Museum, a slight variation from the typical form is apparent in the lengthening of the rostrum and antennal scale and the more pronounced granulation of the chelae. In these regards they show a sUght approach towards .4. trowbridgii. Many of these individuals have lost their 360 CRAYFISHES. claws and grown them anew (see Plate 11, 12). It is interesting to note the restored claws never assume the normal form but are elongated and flattened. WTien both chelipeds have been lost and re-grown simultaneously, the result is an individual with perfectly symmetrical claws on the right and left sides, so different in shape from the normal claws that one might easily be led to believe that it is a distinct species. Such a specimen is shown in Plate 12, fig. 2. The restored claws in these cases assume an ancestral, less highly specialized from. AsTACtrS NIGRESCENS FORTIS, Subsp. nOV.

Similar to A. gambelii (Girard), but different in these regards: — the rostrum is narrower and longer, with a longer acumen, and in correlation with this the antennal scales are much longer, their internal margin sloping gradually to the lengthened apical sj^ine. The post-orbital ridges, though rudimentary, as in A. gayyihelii, develop a pair of prominent posterior spines as in A. nigrescens, while the anterior pair — the only post-orbital spines found in A. gambelii — are much more prominent than in that form. The chelae are longer and slenderer than in A. gambelii. Ttjpes:~'U. S. N. M. No. 23,096, Snake River at Upper Salmon Falls, Idaho, Oct. 3, 1894, Evermann and Scovill coll., 3c^, 1 9 .

This form bears the same relation to A. gnmbelii as A. leniusculus does to A. trowbridgii. In the development of the posterior pair of post-orbital spines it shows an affinity to ^4. nigrescens. It appears to be connected with A. gmnbelii by intermediate forms. A large male upwards of 3j in. long in the U. S. National Museum, collected at the mouth of St. Joe River, Coeur d'Alene Lake, Idaho, has the long narrow rostrum and the elongated hand and fingers of A.g. connectens, but the posterior pair of post-orbital spines are wanting, and specimens (also in the U. S. National Museum) from Warm Springs, Harney Co., Oregon, in most respects like typical A. gambelii, show traces of the posterior post-orbital spines. Dimensions of a male: — Length. 65 mm.; length of carapace, 34 mm.; length of abdomen, 31 mm.; length of posterior section of carapace, 11 mm.; width of areola, 5 mm.; length of chela, 31 mm.; breadth of chela, 7.5 mm.; length of dactylus, 18 mm.

In the Italian Crayfish as compared with the typical form of A. pallipes from France, the margins of the rostrum are less convergent from the base to the lateral pair of spines, so that the breadth of the rostrum between the lateral spines is greater; the rostral acumen, too, is longer. The sides of the abdominal segments end in a distinctly more acute angle. The chelae are more coarsely granulated, the granulations or small tubercles separated by wider intervals. The anterior process of the epistoma is more broadly triangular. The antennal scale is larger, longer, and terminates in a more prominent spine. The tip of the inner part of the gonopods of the male is produced l^eyond the tip of the external part, whereas in A. paUipes the tips of the two parts are subequal. The telson is relatively broader.

M., No. 20,073, from Piobesi, near Turin, Italy, received from the Turin Zoological Museum agree in the essential characters with the Pompeiian specimens. From these specimens I infer that the Cisalpine craj-fishes constitute a marked geographical race, which in some respects (viz. the form of the rostrum, antennal scale, epistoma, and gonopods) shows an approach to Astacus astacus. It is not, however, liable to be confounded with that species, since the median carina of the rostrum is not denticulated, and the post-orbital ridges are entire, not broken up into an anterior and a posterior section as is the case with Astacus astacus. In the important matter of the branchial apparatus, moreover, Astacus pallipcs italicus differs from A. astacus and agrees with A. palKpes in having but two rudimentary pleurobranchiae on each side of the body, upon the eleventh and twelfth body-segments.' The craj'fish found in the neighbourhood of Madrid, Spain, is in almost every respect like the typical French Astacus pallipes. It does, however, show an approach to the Italian examples in one regard, viz. an enlargement of the anterior process of the epistoma, and with this in a few specimens goes a tendency toward a broadening of the rostrum. It would ncA'crtheless be an over-refine- ment to separate the Spanish crayfishes from Astacus pallipes. Cambarus digueti Bouvier. Cambarus digueti Bouv., Bull. Mus. d'Hist.

Cambarus pilosimanus Ortmann? A young female crayfish, 35 mm. long (M. C. Z., No. 7,405) was collected by Mr. J. L. Peters at Camp Menzel, 36 miles from the mouth of the Hondo River, in the Territory of Quintana Roo, Mexico, March 27, 1912. It is closely affined to C. pilosimanus and C. williamsoni of Ortmann, if not identical with one of these. It presents certain features, however, that are not found in either of Ortmann's species; viz: — there are two well-marked spines, one above the ' This was dotfrmined by examination of tlie brancliial apparatus of two examples from the type lot of A. p. ilalicus from the River Sarno.

CRA\TISHES. 363 other, on each side of the latero-anterior margin of tlie carapace, above the well- developed branchiostegian spines. This is a feature that one would not suspect to be a juvenile mark, and it may denote specific di^'ersity. There are, moreover, two sharp spines on the second segment of the antennae near the base of the antennal scales. The chelae of the specimen collected by Mr. Peters are slender and nearly smooth, the fingers sparsely pilose, the spines of the carpus and merus well devel- oped, as in young specimens of C. pilosimanus according to Ortmann. The anterior segment of the telson is three-spined on each side, the inner spine being very small; the median longitudinal rib on the dorsal face of the inner branch of the last abdominal appendages ends in a spine some distance from the posterior margin. The type locality of C. pilosimanus is Coban, Guatemala. Dr. Ortmann also records one specimen, in the Museum of Natural History of Paris, from Belize, British Honduras, a locality not very remote from the place where JNIr. Peters got his specimen. Mr. A. S. Pearse (13th Ann. Rep. Mich. Acad. Sci., 1911, p. 110) has more recently recorded it from Cuatotolapam, Canton of Acayucan, State of Vera Cruz, Mexico. The type locality of C. williamsoni is Los Amates, Province of Izabal, Guatemala. Cambarus mexicanus Erichson. New localities: — Mexico: Tuxtla Gutierrez, State of Chiapas (U. S. N.

Since the above paragraph was written, and the specimen returned to the United States National Museum, Dr. A. E. Ortmann ' has described as a new species, Cambarus (Procambarus) ntkinsoni, a crayfish collected by Dr. A. Atkin- son in the tributaries of Rio de los Indios, Los Indios, Isle of Pines, May 25, 1910. It is closely related to C. cubensis, from which it differs principallj' in the much less dilated inner face of the copulatory organs of the male. Cambarus cubensis consobrinus Saussure.

Cainbarus cubensis consolirinus Faxon, Bull. l\Ius. Corap. Zool., Get. 1912, 54, p. 458. In this form of the Cuban Crayfish the rostrum is narrower than in the typical C. cubeiisis, more deeply concave above, its margins more distinctly raised and less convergent between the base and the pair of lateral spines near the distal end; these lateral rostral spines, moreover, are much better developed than in the tyj^ical form, and tlie rostral acumen is longer; the post-orbital ridge is more prominent, distinctly grooved along its outer face, and jiroducod anteriorly into an acute spine much more strongly emphasized than in the typical C. cuben- sis; there is, too, an evident lateral spine on each side of the carapace, on tlie liind border of the cervical groove, — a spine which is not present in C. cubensis cuben- sis. The external sexual organs are alike in the two forms. Nine specimens of this crayfish (5 c?, 4 9 ), M. C. Z., No. 7,343, were secured by Dr. Thomas Barbour from lads who were using them for fish-bait, at San Antonio de los Banos, in the interior of the Province of Habana, Cuba, Api-il, 1909. Cotypes of Saussure's Cambarus consobi-inus are now dispersed among the Museums of Geneva, Paris, Berlin, and Washington. It is very likely that Saussure's material included some of the typical form of C. cubensis; his descrip- tion and figures, nevertheless, were grounded on the form with long rostral acu- men, and distinct rostral and lateral thoracic spines; the type locality of conso- brinus, moreover, as specified by Saussure, is the central part of the i.sland.

Differs from typical C. cubensis (which lives in the low country, near the sea- level) in having a much shorter and broader areola, a shorter, broader, and more heavily granulated claw; the sides of the rostrum, furthermore, are more nearly parallel and they bear a pair of distinct lateral spines at the base of the acumen. In so far as the rostrum is concerned this subspecies resembles C. c. consobrinus, yet it differs from consohrinus by having a short and wide areola and by the absence of lateral thoracic spines. The sexual parts are like those of C. cubensis. Length of an ovigerous female, 44 mm., length of carapace, 21 mm., length of areola, G mm., breadth of areola, 2 mm. This form is an inhabitant of the mountain streams of western Cuba. The extent of its distribution remains to be determined by further exploration of the island. The type specimens (M. C. Z. No. 7,40G), two males of the second form and three females, were caught by Dr. Thomas Barbour in a mountain stream near San Diego de los Baiios, in the Province of Pinar del Rio, Feb., 1912. There are also specimens in the U. S. National Museum from the same place (Nos. 28,626, 28,627) and also from a mountain brook north of the town of Pinar del Rio (Nos. 23,656, 23,657).

Acad., 18S4, 20, p. 14. This species has been hitherto known only through the type specimen in the Museum of Comparative Zoology (No. 232), a male of the first form received early in the history of the Museum from Professor Lewis R. Gibbes of Charleston, S. C. The United States National Museum has recently received it in ample numbers from the Agricultural College, Oktibbeha Co., Miss., and also from Muldon, Monroe Co., Miss., and Farmdale, Ala. It is a pest to the cotton growers of these regions, riddling the fields with its burrows, and devouring the young plants; to a less degree it is destructive to young blades of maize or Indian corn.' Hagen's Crayfish attains to a length of three inches. It is nearly related to C. gracilis Bundy, replacing that species in more southern localities. In C. gracilis the sides of the rostrum are more nearly parallel; the sub-orbital angle, which is pronounced in C. gracilis, is wanting in C. hagenianus. The branchio- cardiac lines, although contiguous in both C. gracilis and C. hagenianus for a considerable distance, obhterating the areola, are united for less distance in the former than in the latter; the abdomen is much broader in C. gracilis, and the longitudinal rib on the upper side of the inner branch of the last pair of abdominal aj^pendages terminates in a spine which lies some distance from the posterior margin, while in C. hagenianus this rib extends clear to the margin, where the spine projects freely. The gonopods of the first form male are formed after a similar fashion in C. hagenianus, C. gracilis, and C. simulans; there are three terminal teeth (one of which is compressed or laminate) in C gracilis and C.

In the second form of the male the gonopods are less j^erfectly finished at the tips, the terminal teeth being blunter and membranous. The annulus ventralis of the female C. hagenianus is much like the annulus of C. gracilis, being produced on each side of the median line into a prominent tubercle, each tubercle tending to denticulation. The specimens from Muldon, Miss., are peculiar in having a beard along the internal border of the upper face of the hand in the males, as in Camharus barbatus and Astacus gambelii. Colour of living specimens from Muldon, Miss.: — Male (Plate 1, fig. 2), metacarapace violet-gray with round greenish spots on the branchial regions; procarapace greenish, dashed with red anteriorly; abdomen light orange, with two longitudinal rows of irregular olive spots; chelae and carpus olive, the tubercles and granules green; fingers and antennae orange, beard whitish. Female (Plate 1, fig. 1), metacarapace bluish; procarapace, abdomen, and chelae tending to green at the expense of the orange tints. Few cases of colour differences correlated with sex have been noted among Crustacea. See Andrews, Zool. Anz., Apr. 25, 1911, 37, p. 401. Cambarus versutus Hagen.

All of the above are in the U. S. National Museum. As noted in my Revision of the Astacidae, p. 26, specimens of C. clarkii from New Orleans, La., differ sUghtly from the typical specimens from western Texas in having the brancluo-cardiac lines in close appcsition for a long distance through the procarapace, obliterating the areola and reducing the size of the anterior and posterior triangular fields. This is well shown in Roetter's beauti- ful drawing of a specimen from New Orleans in Hagen's Monograph of the North American Astacidae, PI. 4. CRAYFISHES. 369 Cambarus clarkii paeninsulanus, subsp. nov. The examples of Clark's crayfish found in the peninsular portion of the State of Florida differ slightly, albeit constantly, from the typical Texas form in being smoother, in having a more tapering rostrum, and a shorter and broader antennal scale ; there is moreover a slight difference in the shape of the tip of the male sexual appendages: the anterior terminal tooth being narrower and more acute than in the typical form in which this tooth is l)roadcr, more laminate and less acute at the tip; in the Floridan subspecies, too, the anterior lialf of the tel- son bears on each side from three to five spines, while in the typical C. clarkii there are but two spines on each side.

This species is still imperfectly known; Erichson's type, which came from Mexico, is no longer extant; it was described as having hooks on l)oth the third and fourth pairs of legs in the male. A female individual from Mexico, in the collection of the Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia, was referred to this species by Dr. Hagen and myself, although witli some doubt on account of the want of male specimens. In 1906 Dr. Ortmann (Proc. Washington Acad. Sci., 8, p. 15-19) described and assigned to this species a male belonging to the Philadelphia Academy, collected by Professor E. D. Cope in 1885 in Lake Xochi- milco, south of the City of ]\Iexico, in the Federal District; in this specimen the legs of the third pair arc furnished with a very small tubercle only, while those of the fourth pair are armed with a strongly de\'eloped hook. Four specimens, three male, one female, recently collected by Mr. W. M. Mann at San Miguel, State of Hidalgo, Mexico, and now in the Museum of Comparative Zoology, conform to Ortmann's description of the Cope specimens, barring the fact that there is no vestige of even a tubercle on the third pair of legs of the male, the fourth pair alone being provided with hooks; these speci- mens may represent an undescribed species, but on account of the sad dearth of requisite material and the loss of the type of C. wiegmanni the elucidation of this question must needs be deferred to a later time. 370 CRAYFISHES.

How or when it got there I do not know. The first report of it came to me in 1901 when the late J. H. Sears brought me a specimen 90 mm. long, which he had caught in Bancroft's Pond, Peabody, on the 4th of August of that year. In Sept., 1911, Dr. John C. Phillips secured a good many (43) specimens from Spring Pond, Brown's Pond and Ban- croft's Pond in Peabody, some of them attaining a length of 9S mm.^ Dr. Phil- lips's colle(!tor searched for crayfishes in the following ponds in Essex County with negative results: — Hood's, Stephens, Four-Mile, Stiles's, Spofford's and Perley Pond in Boxford, and Chebacco, Beck's, Round and tiravelly Ponds in Hamilton.

C. affinis has been introduced into Europe as a piscicultural experiment in acclimatization at the Station Agricole at Fecamp, France,' and elsewhere.

Seven specimens, males of the first form, now in the Field Museum of Natural History, were collected by Mr. S. E. Meek, together with four female C. virilis, June 9, 1901, in the drainage of the Rio de los Conchos, one of the southern tributaries of the Rio Grande. They were picked out from among the fishes which were the chief object of Mr. Meek's exploration of Mexico and sent to me for determination in January, 1902. The conditions obtaining at the time and place of their capture are thus described by Mr. Meek in his account of the fishes secured during his Mexican explorations of 1901 :^ "At Jimenez the Rio Conchos w-as nearly dry. "ur collections were made from a few deep holes about two miles below the city. These contained a large amount of acjiiatic vegetation, which made collecting difficult and unsatisfactory. The water was very clear, and in the deeper places were seen many large suckers which we were unable to capture. Sunfishes were very abundant. All of these streams become large and deep in the rainy season, at which time the Rio Conchos at Jiminez becomes two hundred or more feet, in width and as much as fifteen feet in depth."

Cephalothorax shorter than the abdomen, densely punctate above, gran- ulate on the sides, the granules largest on the hepatic region where they assume the form of small tubercles; the whole surface, but more particularly the sides, is clothed with fine setae arising as pencils from the pits of the dorsal surface and the granules of the sides; the rostrum is deeply excavated above, its sides paral- lel from the base to the lateral pair of teeth at the base of the moderately long, triangular apex; the post-orbital ridges are prominent and provided with a small tooth at the anterior end ; the sula-orbital angle is obUterated, but there is a well-developed branchiostegian spine, as well as a lateral spine on the cervical groove; the section of the carapace behind the cervical groove in the median dorsal line is a little less than one half the distance from the cervical groove to the tip of the rostrum. Areola of moderate width. The anterior segment of the telson bears two spines on each side. The anterior process of the epis- tome is moderately broad, its sides convex, its anterior angle rounded off. The antennal flagella are long and slender, — longer than the body ; the scale or scapho- cerite is of moderate width, widest at a point a little anterior to the middle. The chelae, like the carapace, bear numerous setae springing from the pits and 376 CRAYFISHES. tubercles on its surface; the inner border of the hand is furnished with squamoid tubercles disposed for the most in two longitudinal rows; along the distal half of the outer border of the hand there runs a low, but well-marked, carina; the dactylus is tuberculate on its free border, bkmt-toothed (like the immobile finger) along its prehensile edge and ridged longitudinally along its outer face; the carpus is armed with an acute spine on the middle of its internal border, and with a small tubercle at each end of the same border; belo^y, the median carpal spine is well pronounced and there is a small acute spine at the inferior point of articu- lation with the propodus; the two customary spines are present near the anterior end of the upper margin of the merus ; the outer of the two rows of spines on the lower face of the merus is reduced to two at the distal end. The dorsal carina of the inner branch of the last abdominal appendages terminates in a tooth a little distance within the hind margin. The gonopods, in the second form of the male, are long and straight, reaching forward, when the abdomen is flexed, as far as the basal segments of the second pair of legs; their rami are rather thick, blunt at the tip, and the outer one is but a trifle longer than the inner one; when viewed from the inner side the two rami are fused up to within a short distance of the end of the organ. The annulus ventralis of the female is bituberculate in front, unituberculate behind, the anterior and posterior walls being separated by a transverse fossa which is divided longitudinally by tlie sigmoid fissure. Dimensions of a female: — length, 73 mm., length of carapace, 37 mm., length of rostrum from tiji to a level with tlie post-orbital spines, 11 mm., width of rostrum at base, 5 nmi., length of areola, 12 mm., width of areola, 2 mm., length of cheliped, 54.5 mm., length of chela, 27.5 mm., lireadth of chela, 12 mm., length of dactylus, 16 imn. This crayfish is closely related to the Cambarus spinosus of Bundy, but is different in the following respects: — the body is more villous, the metacarapace longer in proportion to the procarapace, the anterior process of the epistome is much narrower than in the types of Bundy's species and (what has most weight in regarding it as a subspecies) the external sexual organs are clearly different. The gonopods in C. s. gulielmi being shorter, the rami thicker, blunter, nearly equal in length, and separate for but a short distance from the tip, while in C. spinosus the rami are slender, pointed, the outer one exceeding the inner by a great distance and the split between the two parts involving a large part of the length of the organ. The annulus ventralis of the female, though of the same type as that of the typical C. spinosus, differs slightly in having a more open transverse fossa. CRAYFISHES.

Upward of one hundred specimens of a crayfish closely resembling C. putnami were collected by Mr. W. P. Hay in southwestern West Virginia in the summer of 1900. They were found in the shallower parts of streams, usually under flat stones, — in Barrenshe Creek, near Perryville, U. S. N. M., No. 25,018, 28,613, and Horsepen Creek, (U. S. N. M. No. 28,612) and War Creek (U. S. N. M. No. 28,614). In these specimens the rami of the gonopods are a trifle longer than in the types of ('. putnami from Kentucky, the rostrum, moreo\'er, shows a pretty constant faint carina on its upper surface, near the tip, and the anterior angle of the epistome is truncate. These peculiarities do not seem to me important enough to separate this form nominally from C. putnami. According to Mr. Hay's notes their colour when alive was olive-green on the dorsal surface of the body and chelipeds, changing to vinaceous on the sides, under parts and other api^endages; the tips of the fingers were horn-yellow and preceded by a rather broad band of dark orange-red.

Cambarus immunis, taken as a whole, has an enormous range, as a common species, through the western states, from northern Ohio, through Indiana, CRAYFISHES. 379 Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa, Missouri, Kansas and Nebraska, into Colorado and Wyoming.' To the eastward of Lorain County, Ohio, it has hitherto been recorded from onh' two localities, both in the state of New York: in 1891 Mr. Gerrit Smith Miller, Jr., brought me three specimens which he found in July of that year in a small stream flowing into Oneida Lake; these were recorded by me in 1898 (Proc. U. S. Nat. Mus., 20, p. u54) ; in 190G Dr. Ortmann (Mem. Carnegie Mus., 2, p. 467) called attention to specimens in the New Y^ork State Museum which had been taken by Mr. F. C. Paulmier in Rensselaer Lake, Rensselaer Co., N. Y. I can now add to the New York stations for this species the following: — pond near the mouth of Cattaraugus Creek, and Silver Creek, Chautauqua Co. (U. S. N. M. Nos. 22,417, 22,408) ; Fish Creek, Buffalo, Erie Co. (U. S. N. M. No. 22,418) ; and Stony Island, at the eastern end of Lake Ontario, Jefferson Co. (U. S. N. M. No. 22,409). My first knowledge of this species as an inhabitant of Massachusetts was obtained when I was walking across the mud-flats at the upper end of Pontoosuc Lake on the 11th of November, 1899. The numerous mud-towers or "chim- neys" here rising above the level of the flat at once betrayed the abode of some kind of burrowing crayfish. Although the soil was then frozen so as to make exploration difficult, I satisfied myself that the builders of the little mud- towers had withdrawn to their brumal retreats in the deeper waters of the Lake, leaving behind them onlj^ one dead companion, a first-form male C. immunis spinirostris (M. C. Z. No. (3,687). Here the matter rested until, during a visit to Berkshire in 1911, I ascertained that tliis crayfish was abundant on the 12th of August among the water-weeds at the head of Pontoosuc Lake. Two days later I searched for it at the northern end of Onota Lake in Pittsfield and again found it in altogether similar surroundings, albeit in much smaller num- bers than in the neighbouring Pontoosuc or Lanesborough Pond. On the 15th of June, 1912, I again collected this crayfish at the outlet of Goodi'ich's Pond and in the Housatonic River just above Pomeroy's Mills, in Pittsfield. These specimens from Berkshire Co., Mass., agree in most respects with the types of C. immunis spinirostris, which were collected in Obion County, Tennessee. The rostrum in the Massachusetts examples tapers a little more between the base and the ante-apical teeth and, the antennal scales are a little shorter in proportion to the length of the rostrum. Compared with the typical 1 Tliere are two .spepinipns of C. imtnunis, a^ f. II. and 9 , in tlic U. .S. Xational Museum, Xo. 3,257, labelled as eoming from Orizaba, Mexico, througli Professor Sumichrast. 380 CRA\TISHES. form of C. irnmunis from Illinois, C. immunis spinirosfris differs in having a distinct spine or tooth on each side of the rostrum near the tip, more prominent post-orbital and branchiostegian spines and a shorter posterior section of the carapace in relation to the section in front of the cervical groove (the proportion being 1:2 or even less in C. i. spinirostris); the claw, too is narrower, with proportionally longer and slenderer fingers. In full-grown living specimens from Pontoosuc Lake (Plate 2, fig. 2) the dominant colour of the carapace is a rich Vandyke brown shading into tawny olive on the sides; the cardiac area is conspicuously marked off by being a much lighter colour, — tawny olive ; the abdomen is beautifully mottled above with darker and lighter shades of tawny olive; the legs are olive-coloured. In the young, 27 mm. long, from the same locality (Plate 2, fig. I), the brown of the adult is replaced by an olive-green which pervades the whole dorsal side of the creature and is delicately varied by mottling of olive-buff; the cardiac area is of the latter hue and is continued backward, through the whole length of the abdomen, as a broad median band; the appendages are delicate olive-green, changing to a pinkish tint at the tips of the claws. C. i. spinirostris was first described from Obion County, Tennessee; it has also been recorded from Omaha, Nebraska (Pearse), Shawnee County, Kansas (Faxon), Douglas County, Kansas (Harris), Vigo County, Indiana (W. P. Hay), Ottawa Co., Ohio (Pearse), and Long Point Creek, Canada (Pearse). As a mat- ter of fact, specimens of C. immunis agreeing more or less closely with the form which I described as var. spinirostris are to be found pretty nuich throughout the range of the species. I have seen such among material collected in Ne- braska, Kansas, Missouri, Michigan, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, and New York. I am therefore disposed to regard it as a variety rather than a true geographical race or subspecies, although it is true that all of the Massachusetts specimens possess the characters of spinirostris. Wlien Cambarus immunis was first discovered in Berksliire County, Mass., it had been recorded from only one place (Oneida Lake, N. Y.) east of Lorain County, Ohio, and in the State of Ohio it had been recorded from Ijut three locali- ties — Huron River at Huron, Erie County (Osburn and Williamson, (Jth Ann. Rept. Ohio State Acad., 1898, p. 11), Sandusky, Erie County (Faxon, Proc. U. S. Nat. Mus., 1898, 20, p. 654), and Lake Erie, Lorain Co. (Osburn and Williamson, I. c). I was therefore formerly inclined to think that its presence in Berkshii-c County, Mass., was due to artificial introduction, like the Catnbarus affinis in the ponds of Essex County, Mass.; but I have now before me specimens from CRAYFISHES. 381 along the Ohio shore of Lake Erie from Lucas County, through Ottawa Countj^ to Erie and Lorain Counties, from the New York borders of the same Lake in Chautauqua and Erie Counties, from the eastern end of Lake Ontario and from Lake Oneida; while Ortmann's discovery of the specimens in the Albany i\Iu- seum from Renssalaer County, N. Y., extends the eastward distribution of this crayfish up to Berkshire County, Mass. In the light of all the evidence now col- lected it seems to me possible, if not probable, that Berkshire County is the eastern limit of the natural distribution of this species and that the discontinuity results from imperfect exploration of the waters of New York State. It should be noted however, for what it is worth, that the Berkshire countrymen whom I have questioned believe the crayfishes are a comparatively late addition to the fauna of the Lakes. However this may l^e, there can !)e no reasonable doubt that the presence of this crayfish in Worcester and Middlesex Counties, Mass., and in Lake Winne- pesaukee, N. H., is the result of artificial transference at a comparatively recent date. The first time this animal was found in Walden Pond, Concord, Middle- sex County, Mass., so far as I can learn, was in the summer of 1909, when two or more were captured, as I am told by Mr. Reginald Heber Howe, Jr., of the Middlesex School, Concord. In 1910 Mr. Howe sent me a fine specimen, a male about 3| inches long, which had been taken in the Pond, and in early Octo- ber, 1911, the Rev. Smith Owen Dexter and Mr. H. Richardson of C'oncord secured two specimens by a long search under the stones on the edge of Walden, Mr. Dexter's specimen, taken from the Pond the 9th of October, when about Ij inches long, lived in my aquarium until April (3, 1912, casting its shell twice, on February 20 and March 19, and attaining a length of l| inches. On the 14th of June, 1912, Mr. Dexter collected four sjjecimens, ranging from 21 to 41 inches in length, from the borders of the Pond, and still more during the following month. On the 24th of July, 1912, Mr. W. F. Clapp and I got six specimens there. I have been told by citizens of Concord that two men who fishetl in Walden Pond about ten years ago (c. 1903), using crayfishes for bait, threw their surplus bait into the Pond and thus unwittingly stocked it with these creatures. Walden Pond is apparently a most uncongenial abode for Cambarus immunis, being clear as a well and almost destitute of vegetable growth. The favourite haunts of this species are rather muddy waters stocked with a rank growth of pond weeds. In 1913 specimens of this crayfish were collected in Boone Pontl, Stow, 382 CRAYFISHES. Middlesex County, Mass., by Professor G. H. Barton. Boone Pond drains into the Assabet River. Walden Pond has no visible inlet or outlet. Dr. D. L. Belding, of the Mass. Fish Commission, collected several speci- mens in East Washacum Pond, Sterling, Worcester Co., Mass. (Nashua River drainage), Oct. 10, 1912; Mr. W. F. Clapp found many in the Blackstone River, at Uxbridge, Worcester County, Mass., Sept. 29, 1913, and there is a specimen in the United States National Museum collected in 1913 in Lake Winnepe- saukee, N. H. In colour as well as in all other characters the Walden Pond and Blackstone River specimens agree i:)erfectly with those from Berkshire County. Those from Boone Pond, Sterling, and Lake Winnepesaukee I have seen only after they had been immersed in alcohol and lost their colour; in other respects they too are conformable to the Berkshire County variety, i. e., C. i. spinirostris. Cambarus validus, sp., nov. Plate 7, Fig. 3, 4, 8; Plate 13, Fii;-. 1. Male, form L — Similar to C. immunis Hag., but differs as follows: — the rostrum is relatively narrower, less tapering from the base to the lateral angles at the proximal entl of the acumen, its margins are more distinctly raised so that the upper surface of the rostrum appears to be more deeply hollowed out. The foveola at the base of the rostrum in C. immunis is scarcely evident in ('. vdlidus. The chela is very much larger, more powerful and of a different form from tliat of C. immunis; the iimnovable finger is curved strongly outward at the base, giving a convex outline to the external margin of the hand; the moval^le finger is furnished with a double row of tubercles running along its external margin, while the inner margin is not excised at the base and is armed with a row of eight or nine round bead-like tubercles; the chela is as long as the carapace, and broad and inflated. The lower face of the carpus is furnished with only a rudimentary, blunt, median spine or tubercle. The sub-orbital angle is less prominent, the posterior wall of the orbit forming a perpendicular straight line. The anterior process of the epistome is much broader, with the anterior end truncated but not notched. In other regards, including the form of the sexual appendages it agrees with C. iymnunis. The rostrum is devoid of lateral teeth or spines, like the typical form of C. immunis.

Compare my "Revision of the Astacidae," p. 100. Six specimens in the U. S. National Museum, three of which are males of the second form, and three females (No. 23,092) collected by Mr. J. E. Benedict at Nashville, Tennessee, in May, 1897, without much doubt are conspecific with the type specimen of C. validus. As they are younger than the type specimen, and as the first form of the male is not represented among them, the peculiarities of the species are not so well pronounced. The chelae are proportionally smaller and the curve of the immobile finger is less. This finger, as in the type specimen and in C. wimunis, is hea\-ily Ijearded within at the base. The gonopodsof the males are similar to those of second-form males of C. immunis, but less strongly curved; indeed the curve of the stem of the organ is no greater than it is in C. virilis, but the ])limt reciu-\'ed tips are subequal as in C. immunis; in other words the shape of the second form male organ is the same as in C. alabamensis.

The rostrum is more strongly decurved and the fingers are narrower and more cyhn- drical and gape widely at the base. The differences between this form and the type ne\'ertheless do not seem to be great enough or constant enough to warrant a subspecific separation. Cambarus bartonii carinirostris Hay MS., subsp. nov.

In less typical specimens the carina is reduced to a very low, rounded, almost invisible elevation just between the lateral angles of the rostrum, or in some cases is wanting altogether; in such specimens the other characters, — cylindrical carapace and broad, flat rostrum, — will hardly be sufficient to separate them from other closely related subspecies.

C. h. carinirostris Hay is a slightly differentiated local form of C. bartonii found chiefly in the mountain streams of Randolph Co., W. Va., the Cheat and Tygart's Valley Rivers and their tributaries. Outside of Randolph County, Mr. Hay secured a few specimens at Albright, Preston Co., at Queens, Upshur Co., in the above-named river-basins. It is also probably to be found in the upper waters of the Kanawha River basin further to the south, since there are a few specimens in the U. S. National Museum (Nos. 23,975, 28,605) from the West Fork of the Greenbrier River, near Durbin, Pocahontas Co., and from Laurel Creek, in second Water Cave, near Greenville, Monroe Co., that are pretty char- acteristic examples of this race. The median carina on the upper surface of the rostrum is a rather elusive character, in many individuals it is scarcely if at all apparent. Such specimens retain, nevertheless the peculiar quadrangular outline of the rostrum, which is often a trifle broader at the base of the acumen than it is in the middle. The areola is of moderate width and not so thickly pitted as it is in C. b. montanus.

In looking over any extensive collection of Cambarus hnrloiui from the Alle- ghany Mountain region of Virginia and West Virginia one is struck by the tendency of the material before him to fall into two sets of forms, one charactei'- ized by a rather narrow areola, sparsely sown with impressed points or dots which incline to a serial arrangement in three or four longitudinal rows; while in the other set the areola is shorter and proportionally broader, and its field is thickly strewn with innumerable dots. On further examination it will be seen that the narrower areola usually goes with a shorter and broader rostrum, a more depressed and oval carapace and a narrower antennal scale. These two forms are often found in the same locality and with these alone in \'iew one might be justified in deeming them two well-differentiated species, but it soon becomes clear that in other places specimens are found that combine in a most perplexing fashion the features of our tAvo supposed species. The second of the two forms above noticed, the one with the shorter and broader and more thickly punctate areola and longer rostriun is the one too curtly diagnosed by CJirard under the name of Cambarus montanus. Girard's description of C. montamis is as follows: — "Antennte more elon- gated and more filiform than in C. Bartonii. Rostrum intermediate in shape between the latter and C. carolinus, being proportionally longer than in C. Bar- tonii and shorter and less tapering than in C. carolinus. Dorsal sutures of the carapace more apart than in both of the latter species. ■ ' Localities. — Within the Alleghany ranges in Virginia and Maryland : tributaries of James River in Rockbridge Co. (Va.) ; Shenandoah River in Clarke Co. (Va.), and Cumberland (Md.) of the hydrographical basin of the Potomac ; Sulphur Spring, Greenbrier River, an affluent of the Kenhawa River (Va.) [now W. Va.] of the Ohio basin." When Dr. Hagen was preparing his Monograph of the North .\merican Astacidae in 1868, he had the opportunity to examine one of Girard's types of C. montanus from Greenbrier River, W. Va., sent to him by Wm. Stimpson who then had the types from the Smithsonian Institute in Chicago, where in 1871 they were most unfortunately destroyed by the disastrous conflagration of that year. Sixteen years later, while I was revising the Astacidae, I had the advantage of close personal intercourse with Dr. Hagen and free use of his notes and memo- randa. The identity of Girard's Cambarus montanus is thus assured by an unbroken tradition. Neither Dr. Hagen nor myself in my earlier publications esteemed this form worthy of even a subspecific name, although its characters CRAYFISHES. 387 were pointed out in my Revision, p. 64. It may be well in our present more advanced knowledge of the C. harlonii group to recognize C. montanus as a geographical race or subspecies of C. bartonii. In the collection of the Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia there is a young male, labelled "James River, Va., C. tiiontanus?" which is very prob- ably a cotype or paratype of Girard's Cambarus montanus. With regard to this and other quasi types of Girard's species in the Philadelphia Academy, the reader is referred to Hagen's Monograph, p. 7, and my Revision, p. 11. I have examined specimens of C. bartonii montanus, nearly or quite typical, from the following localities :— Virginia : Wytheville,Wythe Co. (U. S. N. M., No. 13,966, M. C. Z., No. 3,838); Rocky Gap, Bland Co. (U. S. N. M., No. 28,568.) West Virginia: Horsepen Creek, [Mingo Co.?] (U. S. N. M. No. 28,5.55) ; Madam Creek, tributary of New River, opposite Hinton, Summers Co. (U. S. N. M., No. 28,556, M. C. Z., No. 7,398) ; Bergen's Springs, 12 miles above Hinton (U. S. N. M., No. 28,566) ; Delashmeet Creek, Kegley, Mercer Co. (U. S. N. M., No. 28,610)i Bluestone River, just above its mouth, Mercer Co. (U. S. N. M., No. 28,570) ; mouth of Delashmeet Creek, Bluestone River, Mercer Co. (U. S. N. M., No. 28,565); Bluestone River, Abb's Valley (U. S. N. M., No. 28,569); East River, Mercer Co. (U. S. N. M.) ; Rich Creek, Spanishburg, Mercer Co. (U. S. N. M.) ; Barrenche Creek, Perrysville, McDowell Co. (U. S. N. M., No. 28,573) ; War Creek, McDowell Co. (U. S. N. M., Nos. 28,564, 28,580); Guyandotte River, Baileys\dlle, Wyoming Co. (U. S. N. M., Nos. 28,562, 28,578, 28 cf). Isolated localities from which I have seen specimens of C. bartonii very closely resembling the form montanus in the breadth and punctation of the areola are: Alum Creek, Franklin Co., Ohio, R. C. Osburn and E. B. WilUamson (U. S. N. M., No. 22,351), Cincinnati, Oliio (M. C. Z., No. 288), creek at Knoxville, Tenn., Walter Faxon (M. C. Z., No. 3,477). From Cogar's Mill, Elk River, Kanawha Co., W. Va., I have seen an interesting lot of specimens that combine the characters -oi C. b. nionianus and C. b. longulus, the rostrum and chela of montanus going with the reduced sub-orbital angle of longulus. These specimens are in the U. S. National Museum, No. 23,990, and in the Museum of Compara- tive Zoology, No. 7,401. Cambarus bartonii robustus (Girard). Plate 3. From Cambarus bartonii montanus the passage is easy to C. b. robustus, in which form the rostrum is longer and more tapering, the areola rather longer and narrower and the outer margin of the hand more costate, an emphatic de- 388 ~ CRAYFISHES. pression running along the upper and lower faces of the immobile finger. In the United States National Museum there are many specimens from West Fork of Greenbrier River, W. Ya. (No. 23,977, 23,978) and from Crane Creek, W. \a., which are \'ery nearly typical examples of C. b. robuslus. Thej^ differ slightly, it is true, from more northern specimens in having a little l^roader areola and less pronounced impressions upon the immobile finger. In these regards they show an approach to C. b. 7nontanus, from which the form robustus is probably derived. Specimens collected at Wytheville, Wythe Co., Va. (U. S. N. M., No. 13,966, M. C. Z., No. 3,838) which were referred to C. b. robustus by me in 1890 (Proc. U. S. Nat. Mus., 12, 622) are in reality C. b. montanus. Exami)les from Fredericksburg, Spotsyh'ania Co., Va., were formei'ly referred to C. robustus by Hagen in his Monograph, p. 80, and l)y myself in my Revision, p. 61, 67, but tliey are not typical examples of C. robustus. These specimens (M. C. Z., Nos. 3,615, 3,797) are in many ways like to C. acuminatus in the ros- tnun which is longer and more tapering than in robustus, in the relatively short posterior section of the carapace, greater width of the aret)la, and the- highly developed spines at the base of the antennal scales, on the carpus, and on the merus. The lateral spine of the carapace is distinctly developed on almost all of the Fredericksburg specimens. A similar form is found at Raleigh, N. C. (U. S.N. M. No. 22,355). After eliminating the specimens wliicli ha\e been wrongly identified with C. robustus, the distribution of the latter race, in its true form, is restricted, as far as known, lo the following regions: — Ontario: Toronto, Weston. Michi- igan: Wayne, Washtenaw, Oakland, Sanilac, Huron, Oscoda, Crawford, Alcona and Ionia Counties. Ohio: Knox, Lorain, Cuyahoga, and Ashtabula Counties. New Y'ork: Chautauqua, Genesee, Allegany, Monroe, Wayne, Tompkins, Oswego, Madison, Jefferson, St. Lawrence, Herkimer and Hamilton Counties. Pennsylvania: Erie, Crawford, Warren, McKean, and Allegheny Counties (St. Lawrence and LTpper Olrio drainage). West Virginia: West Fork of Green- brier River and Crane Creek. Cambarus bartonii robustus is a sombre-coloured ci'ayfish in life (Plate 3), the dominant color of the upper surface being a dusky olive tone, nearly uniform and little relieved by the inconspicuouslj^ red-tipped fingers of the large claw. The ambulatory appendages have a somewhat bluish cast, and the ventral surface of the creatm-e tends to a dull whitish tint. After the animal is placed in alcohol, a large, bright red, quadrangular patch presently appears on the branchiostegites behind the cervical groove, denoting that part of the shell which CRAYFISHES. 389 is most susceptible to the action of the hquicl. After some hours the red colour extends over the whole branchial region and for a time is sharply defined from the median areola and the other parts of the body, which still retain the dusky colour of the living animal. These striking colour-patterns resulting from recent iimnersion in alcohol might easily be mistaken for natural life colours by one who had not witnessed the change, and it suggests the probability that some writers have been misled into describing such colours as those of the living animal. Randall, for instance, in the Journal of the Academy of Natural Sciences of Phila- delphia, 8, p. 138, PI. 7, describes and figures Astacus oreganus (= A. lenius- culus Dana?) as having a red spot on each side of the carapace, quite similar to the red spot which temporarily shows in Cambarus b. robustus recently immersed in alcohol. So, too, the wliitish or lenion-yellow spot on the branchiostegites of Parastacus bimaculatus Phihppi (Anales Universidad Chile, 87, p. 378), which is probably the same species that I described under the name Parastacus agassizii {cf. the colour description of this species by Prof. Carlos E. Porter in Revista Chilena de Historia Natm-al, 8, p. 258, pi. 9, fig. b) may possibly be the result of the action of alcohol on freshly killed specimens. Cambarus bartonii longulus (Girard). New localities: — West Virginia: West Fork of Greenbrier River, near Dui-bin, Pocahontas Co. (U. S. N. M., No. 23,992) ; Bluestone River, Abb's Valley (U. S. N. M., No. 28,618). In normal specimens of this subspecies the sub-orbital angle is hardly if at all prominent. The individuals wWch I mentioned in Proc. U. S. N. M., 12, p. 623, as ha\'ing the orbit sharply defined below by a prominent angle may prove to be, I suspect, C. bartonii longirostris. This form is not very well known as yet, and I ha\'e reason to think that it acquires with maturity a claw very much like that of C. bartonii longulus. The character of the sub-orbital margin of the carapace seems to be very constant within the limits of a good subspecies, and it may prove to be the really diagnostic feature for separating C. b. longulus and C. b. longirostris. Cambarus bartonii veteranus, subsp. nov. Plate 13, Fig. 2. Rostrum long, without lateral teeth, margins elevated, strongly convergent, acumen triangular, terminating in an uptm'iied corneous tooth. Antero-Iateral 390 CRA\TISHES. margins of the carapace destitute of any marked angle below the eye. A small spine on each side of the carapace on the posterior edge of the cervical groove. Areola long and broad, I as broad as long, thickly strewn with impressed dots. Anterior process of the epistome triangular, truncated anteriorly in old individ- uals. Chelae large, flattened, internal border furnished with a row of low tuber- cles, with another row of obsolescent ones running along beside them. The outer margin of the chela is ridged, on account of a marked longitudinal depression which runs along the distal part of the palm and the proximal part of the immobile finger. The fingers are long, heavily pitted, meeting only at their tips, leaving a wide gape between them. The carpus is armed with an internal median spine, and a very small internal posterior spine; below it is furnished with the usual anterior median spine and a minute spinous tubercle between it and the internal median spine. The lower face of the merus is armed with a row of spines along its internal margin and an incomplete row on its external margin made up of about three at the distal end of the joint. Length of a cf form I., 93 mm.; length of carapace 49 mm.; length of areola, 17 mm.; width of areola, 4 mm.; length of chela, 67 mm.; width of chela, 265 mm.; length of dactylus, 45 mm. Type locality, Indian Creek, Baileysville, Wyoming Co., W. Va. Two males of the first form, sixteen males of the second form and seven females were collected by Mr. W. P. Hay at this place on the 16th of August, 1900. They are in the collection of the U. S. National Museum, Nos. 25,020, 28,609,44,712 (type). There are also in the National Museum one male of the second form and two females (No. 28,619) from Crane Creek, W. Va., collected together with C. b. robustus on the 8th of August, 1900, and one male of the first form from the Elk River, Cogar's Mills, W. Va. This peculiar form of C. bartonii resembles C. b. longulus in the foi-m of the rostrum, the wide gape of the fingers of the large claw, and in the absence of a sub-orbital angle. In other respects it is very different from longidus, especially in the shape of the chela which is strongly depressed, with dc^ep longitudinal furrows at the base of the immovable fingei", both alxn'e and l)elow, as in C. b. robustus, while in C. b. longulus the fingers are cylindrical and bearded within at the base. The characteristic gape of the fingers is not present in regenerated claws, which are furnished with very long straight fingers whose cutting edges are straight and meet together throughout their whole length. CRAYFISHES. 391 Cambarus bartonii asperimanus, subsp. nov. E^•en as these pages are going to press, two specimens of a peculiar, new race of C. bartonii are sent to me from the U. S. National Museum, — males of the first form, collected by Messrs. P. C. Standley and H. C. Bolman in Flat Creek, near Montreat, Buncombe Co., N. C, Sept. 1, 1913. C. bartonii bartonii was also collected at the same time and place. The new form is conspicu- ously different from any previously known race of C. bartonii in having scattered coarse setae upon the clielae, which are moreover deeply and coarsely pitted, with a tendency toward corrugation; the inner border of the propodus is fur- nished with a cristiform row of from five to seven teeth; the dorsal face of the carapace is extremely smooth and shows hardly a trace of the customary pits or impressed dots except a row along the margin of the rostrum; even on the areola the dots are scarcely visible without high magnification; finally, the ante- rior process of the epistoma is broadly truncate in front. Such are the diagnostic characters of this sub-species, which in other regards agrees prettj^ closely with typical C. bartonii. The hooks of the third segment of the third pair of legs are acute and attenuated at the tip. Length, 54 mm., carapace, 27 mm.; chela, 19 mm. Type, U. S. N. M., No. 47,375. Cambarus bartonii acuminatus Faxon. Cambarus acuminatus Faxon, Pi'oc. .Amor. .Acad., 1884, 20, p. 113. Neiv locaUlics: — Maryland: Northwest Branch, Hyattsville, Prince George's Co. (U. S. N. M.) ; Indian Creek, Beltsville Prince George's Co. (U. S. N. M.); North Carolina: Halifax, Hahfax Co. (U. S. N. M.). As noted above under Cambarus bartonii i^obusius, specimens from Fredericks- burg, Va. (M. C. Z., Nos. 3,615, 3,797) approach closely to the form acuminatus and seem to exemplify a transition from robustus to acuminatus. Cambarus bartonii laevis, subsp. nov. This form of C. bartonii differs from the typical race in having the carapace smoother and less conspicuously punctated, the posterior section proportion- ately longer, being equal in length to the distance from the cervical groove to the root of the eye-stalks; this lengthening of the hind section of the carapace involves a long areola which is also not merely relatively l^ut also absolutely 392 CRAYFISHES. narrower than in the typical C. hartonii; the areola is so narrow as to allow barely room for two closely approximated longitudinal rows of dots; the rostrum is a little longer than in C. hartonii, with more convergent margins and a longer acumen; the upper or superior border of the hand and movable finger are more distinctly tuberculate; the fingers are shorter, stronger, and more heavily ribbed, and the outer border of the immobile one is more heavily and coarsely punctate. The posterior internal spine of the carpus is obsolete ; the anterior process of the epistoma is more broadly triangular. Type specimen, M. C. Z., No. 3,812, W. S. Blatchley, Bloomington, Ind. cf, form II. Measurements: — Length, 67 mm., length of carapace, 33 mm., length of areola, 14 mm., breadth of areola at middle, 1 mm., length of right chela, 24 mm., length of right dactylus, 16 mm. Other localities:— Fall Creek, Indianapohs, Ind. (M. C. Z., No. 3,796), New Albany, Ind. (M. C. Z., No. 3,618), Irvington, Ind. (U. S. N. M., Nos. 19,738, 22,204), May's Cave, Monroe Co., Ind. (U. S. N. M., No. 19,740). The peculiarities of this crayfish, which appears to be a common form in the State of Indiana, were first pointed out in my Notes on North American Cray- fishes, Proc. U. S. Nat. Mus., 1890, 12, p. 622. It has been described and figured, as C. hartonii, by Mr. W. P. Hay in the Twentieth Ann. Rep. of the Department of Geology and Natural Resources of Indiana, 1896, p. 437-489. The features which distinguish it from the typical form of C. hartonii are so pro- nounced as to render it necessary to mark it as a subspecies of C. hartonii if not as a valid species. In the great relative length of the posterior section of the carapace it resembles C. hartonii tenebrosus Hay from the Mammoth Cave of Kentucky. According to letters which I received from Dr. John Sloan of New Albany, Ind., in the year 1883, this crayfish was always found by him in that region to be a denizen of standing ponds and still water, being replaced by C. sloanii in the running streams. On the contrary, both Mr. W. P. Hay {I. c, p. 489) and Mr. A. M. Banta (The Fauna of Mayfield's Cave, Carnegie Inst, of Washington, Publ. No. 07, Sept. 1907, p. 73-75) aver that it is most commonly found in springs and small streams of clear running water where it seeks concealment under stones or in shallow burrows. Messrs. Hay and Banta have found this form a frequent inhabitant of the caves of southern Indiana in company with the blind species, C. pellucidus. Those that dwell in the caves appear to attain a greater size than those in the surface waters, specimens in the Mitchell Caves, Lawrence Co., often exceeding CRAYFISHES. 393 100 mm. ill length according to Banta, while those from the outside do not exceed 84 mm. A series of fifty-eight specimens from the outside waters compared with a series of six specimens from Mayfield's Cave, Monroe Co., by Mr. Banta revealed the fact that the antennae of the cave specimens averaged 11.89 p. c. longer than the antennae of specimens taken outside the caves in the immediate vicinity. The cave series was also lighter-coloured than the series from above ground. Cambarus graysoni, sp. nov. Cephalothorax robust, posterior section liigh, flattened on the back and compressed laterally so that the sides are nearly vertical, giving to the whole section a subquadrangular aspect; shell densely punctated on the dorsal face, granulated on the lateral surfaces; distance from the tip of the rostrum to the cervical groove one and one half times the length from the cervical groove to the posterior end of the carapace; there are no lateral spines upon the carapace and only the rudiments of the branch ostegal spines; the areola is narrow (1.5 mm. broad at the middle in a specimen measuring 21 mm. from the cervical groove to the posterior border of the carapace) with but two rows of dots along the narrow part of its course; rostrum short, margins slightly convergent, middle excavated, acumen short, upturned at the tip, without lateral spines or teeth; post-orbital ridges low, without spines; sub-orbital angles well marked but blunt. Abdomen as long as the cephalothorax, smooth, pleural angles rounded. Chelipeds short in proportion to the body; merus short, with low tubercles near the distal end of the superior margin and spines biserially arranged on the lower face; carpus deeply furrowed along the upper face, armed with a prominent median internal acute thorn or spine, one or two small tubercles in place of a median posterior spine; an inferior median spine, with sometimes a small tubercle ^jetween it and the interior median spine completes the armature of the carpus; the chela is short, broad and triangular, articulated with the carpus in such a way as to assume a vertical position when flexed and to form with its fellow a shield or operculum appressed to the front of the Ijody; this conforma- tion of the chelae is a sure token of the burrowing habits of this species; the inner (or superior) margin of the palm, is very short, with a marginal row of five or six low tubercles; immediately within this row (which forms a serrate edge to the hand) is another row of similar though smaller tul^ercles, with vestiges of a few more irregularly disposed near the articulation of the dactylus; the fingers 394 CRA\TISHES. are rather short, strongly curved downward or inward, not conspicuously ribbed, their prehensile margins armed with rounded teeth, the free edge of the dactylus furnished with low, ciliated, squamous tubercles. Antennal scale small, narrow. Anterior process of the epistome broad, truncate, anterior border concave, with a median tooth. Sexual organs of male and female similar to those of C. bartonii. Dimensions of a female specimen: — length, 113 mm. length of cephalotho- rax, 54 mm., breadth, 29 mm., height of do., 21 mm.; length of areola, 21 mm., breadth of areola, 1.5 mm.; length of cheliped, 75 imn. ; merus, 21 mm.; length of chela, 39 imn.; breadth of chela, 19 mm.; length of dactylus, 24 mm. Bear Creek, a tributary of Green River, Grayson Springs, Grayson Co., Ky., Oct. 24, 1874, F. W. Putnam coll. 1 male of the second form, 3 females. M. C. Z., No. 3,593. This species is nearly related to C. ortmanni. Its form, like that of C. ort- manni, denotes a species of fossorial habits, but not so preeminently addicted to subterranean hfe as the species of the C. diogenes group, in which the cephalo- thorax suffers a greater lateral compression. Compared with C. ortmanni, C. graysoni is more depressed dorsally, more heavily punctated, the areola is broader (as broad as in the typical form of C. latimanus) the metathorax some- what shorter in proportion to the prothorax, the suborbital angle is much more salient, the anterior process of the epistoma is deeply emarginate in front, with a prominent spine at the bottom of the emargination, the internal carpal spine is acute even in old and large examples, and the tubercles of the inner (superior) margin of the hand are stronger and biserially disposed. The specimens which form the types of C. graysoni were referred to C. bar- tonii in my Revision of the Astacidae, p. (31, 159, 169. The peculiarities of the cheUpeds, however, show that they belong to a distinct species, allied to C. ortmanni and C. latimanus and forming together with these species a group con- necting C. bartonii and its near allies witli C. diogenes and the nearly related pre- eminently burrowing forms. Cambarus ortmanni Williamson. Cctmhariis ortmiinni Williamson, 3Isf Ann. Ropt. Department Genl. Indiana, 190(5, 1907, p. 7.54-700, pi. 3.5. Cambarus ortmanni, a burrowing species, was described by Mr. E. B. Wil- liamson from specimens captured in Wells Co., Ind., in the Wabash River drain- age near Bluff ton. There has been a single female specimen from Cincinnati, 0., CRAYFISHES. 395 however, in the Museum of Comparati^'e Zoology since the early days of the Museum. This specimen, No. 243, was referred to C. hartonii by Dr. Hagen in his Monograph and entered into his computation of the variability of the width of the areola of that species, on p. 78. In my subsequent Revision of the Asta- cidae, in 1885, p. 64, I referred to this individual as possibly a peculiar species related to C. latimanus. In the shape of the body and the narrow areola C. ortmanni bears a close resemblance to C. latimanus striatus, but in the outline of the rostrum and the sculptiu-e of the claws it betrays a closer resemblance to C. hartonii. It is without doubt an immediate offshoot of the latter, modified by fossorial habits; the nar- row areola, broad, conical claws, small antennal scale, long, narrow and quad- rangular epistome, all denote this. It forms a passage from C. hartonii to C. latimanus on the one hand and on the other to the more eminently fossorial forms, C. carolinus, C. diogenes, etc. Cambarus latimanus (Le Conte). There is a cotype, a dried male, in the Museum of Comparative Zoology, No. 3,378, acquired by exchange of types with the Smithsonian Institution in 1861 ; another cotype, a dried female, is preserved in the collection of the Acad- emy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia. There are also in tlie Museum of Comparative Zoology, No. 236, preserved in alcohol, 3 males of the first form, 6 males of the second form, 3 females, and 7 young, collected in Athens, Ga., and sent to Professor Agassiz by LeConte in the 50's. These are essentially para- types, and are of interest as fixing the type locality, Athens, Ga., which was not specified in Le Conte's original description of the species nor on the labels accom- panying the type specimens in Cambridge and Philadelphia. Two males, dried, M. C. Z., No. 3,366, sent by Prof. Lewis R. Gibl^es from South Carolina as C. hartonii, without precise locality, are the only specimens reported from South Carolina so far as I know. A small young female from Milledge\'ille, Ga. (M. C. Z., No. 3,365) and another from Roswell, Ga. (M. C. Z., No. 3,502) probably belong to this species. Specimens from Blount Spring and Cullman, Ala. (U. S. N. M., No. 4,953, M. C. Z., No. 3,639) differ from the typical form in having a narrower rostrum, and in specimens from Bridgeport, Ala., and Nickajack Cave, Ashland City, and Nashville, Tenn., the divergence from the type is so pronounced that Mr. W. P. Hay has described them as a subspecies, C. latimanus striatus (Proc. U. S. Nat. Mus., 1902, 25, p. 437; type locahty, Nashville, Tenn.). 396 CRAYFISHES. Mr. C. F. Baker has sent me a fine lot of C. Intimanus from Auburn, Ala., among them specimens that have attained a length of four inches. Cambarus carolinus Erichson. This species was described in 184G (Arch. Naturgesch., 12, 1, p. 9G). Erich- son's type, a male of the first form, is preserved in the Berlin Museum. It was collected by Dr. Cabanis, who assured Dr. Hagen that all the crayfishes that he collected in the United States came from a rivulet in a plantation called Tiger Hall, near Greenville, S. C In 1902 Mr. W. P. Hay procured from Dr. Johann Thiele of Berlin a photograph of the type specimen together with drawings of the right claw and first and second abdominal appendages. By means of this photograph and the drawings Mr. Hay identified the species with the crayfish which I described in 1884, from Cranberry Summit (now Terra Alta), Preston Co., W. Va., under the anme of Cambarufi dubius (see Hay, Proc. Biol. Soc. Washington, 15, March 5, 1902, p. 38. By the courtesy of Mr. Hay I have before me Dr. Thiele's photograph and drawings of Erichson's type, and find that, although it nearly resembles C. dubius, yet it presents some different characters. The carpus is armed on its inner margin with two prominent, acute spines; of these the larger, anterior one is the so-called internal median carpal spine; on the left cheliped tlie photograph reveals a tubercle just behind, and at a lower level than, the median spine. In C. dubius there is but one carpal spine, the internal median. Furthermore, the outer margin of the hand of C. carolinus, as shown in Dr. Thiele's drawing, is rounded off and lacks the subserrate ridge characteristic of C. dubius; in this regard the hand of C. carolinus appears to be like that of C. monongalensis Ortm. No. 14,314, U. S. N. M., male, form I., "among the Cherokees, James Mooney," agrees closely with the i)ictures of Erichson's type, and may be con- sidered a typical C. carolinus. In a notice of this specimen as C. dubius in 1890 (Proc. U. S. Nat. Mus., 12, p. 024), I erred in ascribing it to the Indian Territory. I am advised by Mr. Mooney that it was in reality obtained in Swain Co. or in .lackson Co., N. C, among the Eastern Cherokees, — a remnant of the Nation which eluded deportation in 1838 and still clings to the old home in western North ' Mr. W. P. Hay (Proc. Biol. Soc. Washington, 15, p. 3S, 1902) has unfortunately given this local- ity as western Norlh Carolina, and has been followed in this error by Mr. J. A. Harris (Kansas Univ. Sci.

S. N. M., No. 14,31-4), which displays the normal fea- tures of C. carolinus, as I believe, the rostrum is narrower than in C. dubius and less quadrangular in outline; the anterior process of the epistoma is much broader and more triangular in outline, the sides converging much more between the base and the truncated anterior angle; the carpus is armed with a prominent, acute, internal median spine, immediately behind which and at a little lower level lies a very small spiny tubercle; posteriorly to this, not far from the inner articu- lation with the merus, lies another distinct spine, smaller than the internal median spine; the lower face of the carpus bears one tubercle al)out half-way between the internal median spine and the outer articulation with tlie propodus ; the lower face of the merus shows the biserial arrangement of spines as in C. dubius, as many as five or six spines adorning the external edge of the segment ; the distal segment of the outer branch of the last pair of abdominal appendages is shorter and broader (less oval in contour) than in C. dubius. The living color of this specimen, as is shown by a MS. note accompanying the specimen, was red, the color of C. dubius also. A large number of specimens in the II. S. National Museum collected at various places in the southwestern part of West Virginia (Nos. 28,591-28,596, 28,598-28,600, Horsepen Creek, War Creek, BaileysviUe, Lashmeet, Barranche Creek), agreeing in most respects with the typical C. dubius from northern West Virginia and Pennsylvania tend to develop the accessory carpal spines and tubercles of C. carolinus. Three specimens (male, form I.) in the U. S. National Museum, No. 22,386, from a tributary of Stone River twenty miles from Columbia in cen- tral Tennessee are interesting. They agree in most respects with C. c. dubius, but the rostrum is a little narrower, with more convergent margins, the rostral acumen is less abrupt, and the outer liorder of the hand is rounded off with- out much indication of serrature. In these regards the specimens agree with the typical carolinus; the carpus, however, is very smooth, bearing no spines except the internal median, as in C. c. dubius. The outer inferior row of spines on the merus is present, though slightly developed. The branchio-cardiac lines are in closer contact than in any other specimens of this species that I have seen, reducing the areola to a narrow line.

The closel}^ related Blue oi- Moiiongahela Crayfish was first discovered at Pittsburgh, Pa., in 1898, by Mr. E. B. Williamson. Specimens were sent to me in the month of August of that year, which appeared to me to be a local form of C. ibibius, and they were recorded as such by Mi'. Williamson in a paper on the Crayfish of Allegheny County, Pennsylvania (Ann. Carnegie Mus., 1901, 1, p. 11). Compared with the type of C. duhius these specimens showed a narrower rostrum with less pronounced angles at the base of the acumen; the outer border of the hand was evenly rounded, not ridged, and destitute of the imperfect serrature seen in C. dubms, where this feature results from the regular row of transversely elongated marginal punctations giving to the margin a milled appearance; further, the carpus of the Pittsburgh form was armed with several accessory spines and tubercles, besides tlie prominent internal median spine which is all the armature of the carpus in C. dubius. In a paper on the Crawfishes of western Pennsylvania published in 1905 (Ann. Carnegie Mus., 3, No. 2) and in a more elaborate memoir which appeared at the close of the following year (The Crawfishes of the State of Pennsylvania, Mem. Carnegie Mus., 2, No. 10), Dr. A. E. Ortmann showed that the Blue Cray- fish and C. dubius both lived in western Pennsylvania, that they occupied differ- ent areas separated by the Chestnut Ridge, a range of hills on the west of the Allegheny Mountains, the Blue Crayfish (to which he gave the name Candxirus inonongalcnsis) being found on the hills lying on the west of this range while C. dubius lived in the mountain region to the east of Chestnut Ridge, l:)etween it and the pi-incijial range of the Allegheny Mountains. Dr. Ortmann also brought out clearly, as a result of extensive field study, the color-difference between the two forms, the dominant color of C. dubius being red, of C. monongaknsis blue. The range of the latter form appears to be rather narrow, being restricted, as far as is shown by Dr. Ortmann's most interesting investigations, to Westmore- land, Allegheny, Beaver, Washington, Fayette and Green Counties, Pa., and Hancock, Brooke, Ohio, Marshall and Monongalia Counties, W. Va., at altitudes ranging from 800 feet to 1200 feet above the sea-level. Dr. Ortmann compared his specimens of C. monongalensis with the northern race of C. carolinus, i. e., C. dubius Fax., and came to the conclusion tliat they represented a distinct species. But as appears from what has been said above, thi'ee of the characters which Ortmann thought were peculiar to C. monongalensis are also present in the southern, typical form of C. carolinus, viz., the narrower rostrum, non-serrated outer margin of the hand, and the presence of more than one spine on the inner side of the carpus. There are thus left but two features CRAYFISHES. 399 to separate C monongalensis from C. carolinus, viz., the uniserial disposition of the spines on the lower face of the merus of the chehped, and the colour. So, with a broader overlook of the geographical variations of these interest- ing forms it would seem to be more logical to consider C. carolinas Erichs., C. dubius Fax. and C. nionongalcnsis Ortm. as three geographical races, or subspecies of one species. The three subspecies may be distinguished by means of the sub- joined key: — Lower face of nienis with only one row of spines developed. Colour, blue . C. carolinus innnnnf/iileiisiii (Ortm.) Lower face of merus with two rows of spines developed. Colour, red. Margins of rostrum distinctly con- vergent; outer margin of hand rounded, not serrated; more than one sjiine on inner margin o! the hand.. ...... Rostrum broader with nearly par- allel margins; outer margin of hand subserrate; only one spine on inner margin of the hand . C. carolinus carolinus Erichs. C. carolinus dubius Fax. The geographical range of C. c. monongalensis, so far as it has been worked out by Dr. Ortmann, has been given above. More exploration is needed to elucidate the dispersal of the typical C. carolinus. The type locality is near Greenville, Greenville Co., S. C. The specimen in the U. S. National Museum, collected by James Mooney and described above, came from Swain or Jackson Co., western North CaroUna. Ortmann (Mem. Carnegie Mus., 2, p. 397) men- tions some specimens in the Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia, collected by Prof. J. P. Moore at Blowing Rock, Watauga Co., N. C, which have a narrower rostrum than C. c. dubius, and are therefore pi'obably C. c. carolinus. Specimens cqllected by Mr. H. G. Hubbard at Pennington's Gap, Lee Co., Va. (M. C. Z., No. 3,489) and by myself at Cumberland Gap, at the junction of the three states of Virginia, Kentucky and Tennessee (M. C. Z., No. 3,594) are too young to determine subsi^ecifically with assurance, but they appear to be C. c. dubius. The form spread over the southwestern parts of West Virginia, as has been pointed out (p. 397) is more or less intermediate Ijetween carolinus and dubius, while the pure C. c. dubius has been reported from Westmoreland, Fayette, and Somerset Cos., Pa., Garrett Co., Md., and Preston, Tucker, and Mineral Cos., W.

Hay captured one specimen of this species near Beaufort, N. C, Aug. 17, 1912. This specimen, a female, was taken from a hole in the bank of a pond on the south side of Adley's Creek, about fourteen miles north of Beaufort. On the other side of the same creek, about a mile away, Mr. Hay collected three specimens of C. diogenes (also females) in holes on the edge of a swamp. The specimen of C. uhleri difTers from the type specimens from Maryland but very slightly, the rostrum being a trifle more concave above, and the foveola at the base of the rostrum rather more pronounced. Uhler's Crayfish has heretofore been known only from the tidewater Ocean and Bay counties of eastern Maryland. CRAYFISHES. 401 Cambarus clypeatus Hay. Proc. TI. S. Nat.

Mr. Hay sur- mises that it belongs in the neighbourhood of C. cubcnsis; I should incline rather, on account of the structure of the annulus ventralis and the shape of the body, to place it in C. bartonii group.
