PUBLISHED UNDER THE DIRECTION OF THE SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION. WASHINGTON: GOVERNMENT PRINTING OFFICE, 1884. ADVERTISEMENT. The extension of the scope of the National Museum dumrng the past few years, and the activity of the collectors sent out in its interests, have caused a great increase in the amount of material in its possession. Many of the objects gathered are of a novel and important character, and serve to throw a new light upon the study of nature and of man. The importance to science of prompt publication of descriptions of this material led to the establishment, in 1878, of the present series of publications, entitled ‘‘ Proceedings of the United States National Mu- seum,” the distinguishing peculiarity of which is that the articles are published in signatures as soon as matter sufficient to fill sixteen pages has been obtained and printed. The date of publication being plainly expressed in each signature, the ready settlement of questions of priority is assured. The articles in this series consist: First, of papers prepared by the scientific corps of the National Museum; secondly, of papers by others, founded upon the collections in the National Museum; and, finally, of interesting facts and memoranda from the correspondence of the Smith- sonian Institution. The Bulletins of the National Museum, the publication of which was commenced in 1875, consist of elaborate papers (monographs of families of animals, &c.), while the present series contemplates the prompt pub- lication of freshly acquired facts relating to biology, anthropology, and geology; descriptions of restricted groups of animals and plants; the settlement of particular questions relative to the synonymy of species, and the diaries of minor expeditions. This series of publications was commenced in 1878, with volume I, under the title ‘“‘ Proceedings of the United States National Museum,” by the authority and at the expense of the Interior Department, and under the direction of the Smithsonian Institution. The present volume, constituting the sixth of the series, has been pre- pared under the editorial supervision of Dr. Tarleton H. Bean, curator of the department of fishes. SPENCER F.

PRELIMINARY REPORT ON THE BRACHYURA AND ANOMURA DREDGED IN DEEP WATER OFF THE SOUTH COAST OF NEW ENGLAND BY THE UNITED STATES FISH COMMISSION EIN 1880, 1881, AND 1882. oe By SIDNEY I. SMITH. This report is intended to be supplementary to my preliminary notice of the crustacea dredged in the same region in 1880 (these Proceedings, iii, pp. 413-452), and to include all the species of Brachyura and Anomura obtained off Martha’s Vineyard at depths greater than 50 fathoms. The crustacea dredged off the mouth of Chesapeake Bay in 1880, and off the capes of the Delaware in 1881, will be the subject of a separate report, but the specimens from these dredgings are included in the fol- lowing lists of specimens examined as far as the species to which they belong are contained in the present report. A few of the species described as new in the preliminary notice above referred to were almost simultaneously described by A. Milne-Edwards in one of the reports of the Blake dredgings, under the supervision of Alexander Agassiz, in 1877, 1878, 1879 (Bull. Mus. Comp. Zool. Cam- bridge, vol. viii, No. 1, December 29, 1880), of which I had no knowledge whatever until after my paper was printed (January, 1881), and which was - not published until after my last proof had been returned to the Public Printer (December 24, 1880). I have had much difficulty in identifying Milne-Edwards’s species, but have adopted his names wherever it was possible to recognize his species. In determining some of these spe- cies I have been greatly aided by the kindness of Prof. Walter Faxon, who has sent me for examination some of the type specimens in the Museum of Comparative Zoology.* The last season’s dredging off Martha’s Vineyard reveals the total, or almost total, disappearance of several of the larger species of crus- tacea which were exceedingly abundant in the same region in 1880 and 1881. The most remarkable cases are those of Huprognatha rastellifera, Collodes robustus, Catapagurus Sharreri, Munida Caribea? Smith, and *While the manuscript of this report was in the hands of the printer, the follow- ing work of Milne-Edwards was received: Recueil de figures de Crustacés nouveaux ou peu connus. lére livraison. April, 1883. A considerable number of Milne-Ed- wa. 's’ new species are provisionally figured in this work, but it does not seem to make ai.7 changes in the proofs of the following pages necessary, except under Anop- lonotus politus, which was doubtfully referred to Elasmonotus in the original manu- script, but for which the new generic name has been inserted in the proof.—May 29, 1883, 2 PROCEEDINGS OF UNITED STATES NATIONAL MUSEUM. Pontophilus brevirostris, all of which were exceedingly abundant in 1880 and 1881; butof the first two not a specimen was taken the past season, of the Munida only a single specimen, and that on the last trip, and of the other species only a very few specimens. Lambrus Verrillii, Acan- thocarpus Alexandri, Latreillia elegans, Homola barbata, and Anoplonotus politus, which were each taken several times in 1880 and 1881, were none of them taken in 1882; they were far less abundant than the other species, however, and the non-occurrence of some of them was very likely accidental; but the disappearance of part of them at least was undoubtedly due to the same eauses which occasioned the disappearance of the more abundant species. The disappearance of these species was undoubtedly connected directly with the similar disappearance of the tile-fish (Lopholatilus) from the same region, and on this account specially I give in detail, for many of the species enumerated beyond, the tables of specimens examined from the region explored by the Fish Commission; and to these I have usually added the specimens which I have examined from the collection made by Alexander Agassiz on the Blake in 1880. All the species mentioned above as having disappeared in 1882 were specially characteristic of the narrow belt of comparatively warm water (approximately 50° F.), in from 60 to 160 fathoms, which * bas amore southern fauna than the colder waters either side. Professor Verrill has suggested (Amer. Jour. Sci., II, xxiv, p. 366, 1882) that there was a great destruction of life in this belt, caused by a severe storm, in the winter of 1881~82, which agitated the bottom-water and foreed outward the cold water that even in summer occupies the great area of shallow sea along the coast, thus causing a sudden lowering of the temperature along the warmer belt inhabited by the tile-fish and the crustacea referred to. In the following tables of specimens examined the latitude and longi- tude, depth, nature of bottom, &c., are copied from the list of dredging sfations of the Fish Commission for 1880, 1881, and i882, in the Bulletin of the Fish Commission, vol. ii, pp. 119 to 131, 1882, where further details in regard to temperature, &e., are given. In indicating the nature of the bottom, the Coast Survey system of abbreviations is used. In the column for the number of specimens examined, / is used to indicate large specimens; s, Small specimens; and y, young. When the sexes were not counted separately the whole number of specimens examined is placed in the middle of the column ; when the sexes were counted sepa- rately the number of males is put on the right, the number of females on the left, and the number of young in the middle, followed by the letter y. As a basis for ascertaining the breeding season, I have, in a great number of cases, noted the presence or absence of egg-bearing females ; when the number of such females was counted it is entered in the ap- propriate column; when specimens carrying eggs were found, but not counted, a plus sign, +, is used; and when none of the specimens ex- amined were carrying eggs a zero, 0, is used.

M.-Edwards); it is, however, probably not closely allied or even congeneric with that species, but apparently closely allied to Amathia crassa A. M.-Edwards, and possibly identical with it. I was misled in regard to the armament of the carapax of Scyramathia Carpenteri by the woodcut given in the Depths of the Sea (no description of the species has yet appeared), for Milne-Edwards states that the species is closely allied to Scyra umbonata Stimpson, certainly a very different species from Amathia Agassizii, and has united them in his new genus Scyramathia. As indicated above, all the specimens seen are males. One of these is much larger than the larger of the two original specimens described and figured in my reportabove referred to, but differs very little from it, al- though the spines of the horizontal series on the branchial region, above _the bases of the cheliped and first ambulatory leg, are considerably longer, and there are two well-developed spines, instead of two or three small ones, on the lateral margin back of the anterior angle of the bue- cal area. Measurements of this specimen are given in the last column of the accompanying table of measurements. The other specimens show all gradations between this and the young specimens originally de- scribed. 4 PROCEEDINGS OF UNITED STATES NATIONAL MUSEUM. Measurements in millimeters.

Allied to the last species, but readily distinguished from it by the narrower carapax with longer and less diverging rostral horns and fewer and more nearly equal spines, and by having a single spine only on the base of the antenna. Male.—The carapax, excluding the rostral horns and the spines, is about as broad as long. The rostral horns are nearly straight, much less divergent than in A. Agassizii, and, in the larger of the two speci- mens seen, much more than half as long as the rest of the carapax. The supraorbital spine and the postorbital processare as in A. Agassizii, but the basal segment of the antenna is unarmed except by a single spine at the distal end. There are four long and approximately equi- distant spines on the mesial line of the carapax, the two anterior on the gastric region and smaller than the others, which are on the cardiac region, the posterior being near the posterior margin and projecting slightly backward over it. There are no prominent spines on the gas- trie region except the two median, but there is a minute tubercle or ru- dimentary spine either side about equidistant from the two median, and on the cardiac region there are no spines or tubercles whatever except the two median. There is a single long hepatic and a great branchial spine, as in A. Agassizii, but there are no other spines or tubercles on the branchial region except two, about as long as the cardiac spines, and about equidistant from each other and from the great branchial, the posterior gastric, and the anterior cardiac. The anterior angle of the buceal area projects in a dentiform process either side, as in A. Agassizii, and back of this the prominent margin of the pleural region is armed with three small tubercles or rudimentary spines. There are no spines or tubercles on the side of the branchial region above the basis of the cheliped and first ambulatory leg, and no tubercles whatever on the postero-lateral margins. The chelipeds and ambulatory legs are essentially asin A. Agassizii. PROCEEDINGS OF UNITED STATES NATIONAL MUSEUM. 5 The number and arrangement of the dorsal spines of the carapax appear to be nearly as in A. hystrix Stimpson, as figured by A. Milne- Edwards (Crust. Région Mexicaine, p. 134, pl. 28, fig. 1, 1878), except that the lateral spines of the gastric region are obsolete in A. Tanneri ; but all the spines are very greatly longer in hystrix, which appeats to be a very distinct species. Measurements in millimeters.

Taken at a number of stations off Martha’s Vineyard, in 86 to 158 fathoms, and also in much shallower water near Block Island and off No Man’s Land.

Collodes depressus Smith, Proc, National Mus., iii, p. 414, 1881 (mon A. M.- Edwards. ) A careful examination of one of the type specimens of C. depressus convinces me that the specimens which I have referred to that species 6 PROCEEDINGS OF UNITED STATES NATIONAL MUSEUM. are really a distinct but closely allied and much larger species. Very small specimens, 10”™ or less in length of carapax, resemble the depressus very much, but are distinguished from Milne-Edwards’s figures and the type specimen referred to by the less regularly triangular outline of the carapax, the hepatic and branchial regions being much more protuber- ant; by the acute rostral horns, more widely separated at their tips; by the much longer interantennular spine, which is fully as long as in Eu- prognatha rastellifera ; by the short and conical or even tubereuliform gastric and cardiac spines; by the spine of the first somite of the abdo- men being directed backward instead of upward; and by the more slender chele. Male.—In large males over 20™™ in length of carapax, the carapax is a little over three-fourths as broad as long, and thickly covered, as well as nearly all otber parts of the animal except the chelz, with strongly curved hairs or sete, which, in every specimen seen, persist- antly retain a thick coating of soft mud. Therostral horns are slender and separated by a rounded sinus, at the bottom of which the inter- antennular spine, or true rostrum, which is much longer than the rostral horns and grooved longitudinally in front, projects downward and about as far forward as the rostral horns. The basal segment of the antenna is armed with a lateral and an inferior ridge, each divided into three to five short spiniform teeth. The postorbital processes are broad, but acutely triangular, and project as far as the tips of the eyes. The dorsal sur- face is thickly covered with granular tubercles, and there is a slight tubercular elevation, but little more prominent than the tubercles of the general surface, on the gastric region, and another on the cardiac, in place of the spines in the young. The hepatic region is divided obliquely near the middle by a deep suleus into two lobes, of which the superior projects in a rounded prominence, which is very conspicuous as seen from above, while the inferior is crossed longitudinally by the pleurotergal suture and below it armed with a short series of small tuber- culiform spines. The branchial regions are prominent, swollen, and evenly tuberculated. The chelipeds are stout and approximately once and a half as long as the carapax; the merus is triquetral with the angles armed more or less with tubercles or tuberculiform spines; the whole outer surface of the carpus is similarly armed. The chela is approximately two-thirds as long as the carapax, naked, smooth, polished, and unarmed, except a very few tubercles on the inner surface and near the proximal ends of the upper and under edges; the body is nearly as long as the digits, thick and swollen; and the digits are compressed, somewhat grooved longitudinally, very slightly curved, gaping at the bases, and with the prehensile edges slightly and irregularly crenate. The ambulatory legs are hairy to very near the tips, but are otherwise unarmed and smooth throughout, and all the segments are subcylindrical ; the first are about two and a half times as long as the carapax, the others successively PROCEEDINGS OF UNITED STATES NATIONAL MUSEUM. 7 shorter, and the last considerably less than twice as long as the cara- pax; the dactyli are considerably curved, slender, and tapered near the acute chitinous tips. The sternum is tuberculose, like the dorsal surface of the carapax, except upon the concave portion between the bases of the chelipeds, where it is smooth. The first somite of the abdomen is tuberculose, like the carapax, and armed with a low tuberculiform prominence, in place of the spine in the young. The second somite is very short and scarcely wider than the first. The third is widest of all, and from it the abdomen is regularly narrowed to the seventh somite, which is anchylosed with the sixth, as in Euprognatha rastellifera, triangular, with the tip obtuse, and nearly as broad as long. Female.—The females appear not to attain the adult sexual char- acters until the carapax is about 12™™ in length, apparently never attain as great size as the males, and as usual aeons the young, although they lose the gastric, cardiac, and abdominal spines fully as early as the males. The carapax is slightly more convex and the bran- chial regions somewhat less swollen than in the male. The chelipeds remain small and weak, the chelw slender as in the young, and the am- bulatory legs proportionally shorter than in the male. The proportions of the carapax, chelipeds, and ambulatory legs in the young and adults of both sexes are well shown by the accompanying table of measurements. : Measurements in millimeters and hundredths of length of carapax.

The first and fourth ambulatory legs in the immature female are apparently reproduced appendages, which may, perhaps, account for the retardation in the sexual development of the individual. The specimens in the Fish Commission collections and in the Blake collection of 1880 appear to agree much more closely with those origi- nally described by Stimpson and those figured and described by Milne- Edwards than they do with a few Caribbean specimens which I have examined and which were labeled by Milne-Edwards as this species and returned to the Museum of Comparative Zoology. These specimens, two males and five females, are trom the Blake collection of 1878~79, station 134, off Santa@Cruz, 248 fathoms, and, though fully adult, are all very much smaller than any other adult specimens examined. They are also considerably smaller than the specimens described by Stimpson or Milne-Edwards. The carapax is slightly narrower than in the north- ern specimens, with the tubercles of the surface larger and all the spines longer and more slender; the postorbital process is slender and spini- form instead of dentiform; there is a small conical spine, much more acute and more prominent than in the northern specimens, on the eye, at the emargination of the cornea; and the ambulatory legs are more slender and armed with small spiniform tubercles which are much more conspicuous than in the northern specimens. In the males the chele are proportionally larger, with the bodies stouter and more swollen; and in both sexes the chelw and other parts of the chelipeds are armed with larger and more seattered tubercles, many of which, especially on the carpus and merus, become spiniform and conspicuous. Some of these differences are well shown in the following measurements (in mil- 12 PROCEEDINGS OF UNITED STATES NATIONAL MUSEUM. limeters and hundredths of length of carapax) of four of the specimens from off Santa Cruz: it 2 3. 4. ews eee Se STONE SS GO OUEE OE) MUGGED Ben or See SEE Oe SOEs BOO SE CHOSE SSS BOR acne sae fof 2 2 ene wh Of CArapax, including LOSLIMM accom --abece ess sceeph sansa ates canace | &3} 5&6) 5.4 6.0 Breadth of carapax, excluding spines)... . cc0cet scene nees eee tesco ee cese-> |} 36] 38) 3.9) 44 Name in hundred ths Ohlone cosw.s ose cite = sees some tenons cones See a= = aimee | 68 | 68 74 73 Ieensth of Gheliped!); s2.o-bae sn bene cawaec cet eneccaact coe vaaegeceee pees see beee | 8.0.) 9) 0) ibaveleeeee= eneth OL Ghee. << | 18.5 | 20.4) 32.8 Breadth, including lateral spines ..... 19.3 | 20.0 | 20.9 | 25.0 | 26.0 | 31.2 | 20.7 | 22.3 | 25.0] 41.0 Same in hundredths of length ........ 123.4120.

The largest of the males differ very little from the females originally described, except that the chelipeds are proportionally a little larger. In the smaller specimens of both sexes there are rather fewer small tubercles upon the carapax, and the teeth of the lateral margins of the carapax and angles of the chelipeds are, perhaps, smaller and less lacineated proportionally, but the differences are very slight, and there is no approach to L. Pour- talesii as figured by A. Milne-Edwards. The accompanying table of measurements shows the slight variations in the proportions of the cara- pax and chelipeds better than description. In some specimens the chelipeds are slightly unequal, but in none conspicuously so, and when the difference was noticeable in the specimens measured the measure- ments of the cheliped were made from the larger one. CANCROIDA. Cancer borealis Stimpson. Taken off Martha’s Vineyard, in 1880, 1881, and 1882, at a great num- ber of the stations, in 51 to 317 fathoms, and also in shallow water ; off Delaware Bay, 1881, stations 1047 and 1049, 156 and 435 fathoms; and off Chesapeake Bay, 1880, stations 896, 897,899, and 901,18 to 157 fathoms. Most of the deep-water specimens taken by the Fish Com- mission are small, but much larger specimens, among them several from 100 to 130 millimeters in breadth of carapax, were taken in 1880, by Alexander Agassiz, on the Blake, off the Carolina coast, in 142 to 233 fathoms. The largest of these specimens were from, Blake station 314; ''N. lat. 32° 24’, N. long. 78° 44’, 142 fathoms. Cancer irroratus has not been taken in any of the deeper dredgings off Martha’s Vineyard, although it is a common littoral and shallow- water species on the whole New England coast, and was taken by Alex- ander Agassiz at several stations, in 65 to 178 fathoms, off the Carolina coast, even occurring with C. borealis at station 314, just mentioned.

The largest specimen which I have seen is from the Blake collection of 1880, and was taken off Cape Hatteras. This specimen, measurements of the carapax of which are given in the last line of the following table of measurements, is more than six inches across the carapax and two feet across the outstretched legs. Very large individuals differ considerably from the specimens originally described. In all the large specimens the teeth of the antero-lateral margin of the carapax become reduced to an- gular tubercles, and in some of the larger ones the fourth tooth- becomes entirely obsolete. Specimens of the same size vary much, particularly the larger ones, in the prominence of the anterolateral teeth, so that the pro- pertional breadth of the carapax, including the teeth or spines, varies much more than the breadth excluding the teeth or spines, as shown in the table of measurements. This variation is partially due to the wearing away of the teeth, which probably takes place rapidly on account of the softness of the exoskeleton, which is much less caleareous than usual, the branchial regions of the carapax being so soft as to be readily bent or indented with the finger, PROCEEDINGS OF UNITED STATES NATIONAL MUSEUM. rf Vol. VI, No.2.

Oct. 10 2); 0 Stimpson’s B. longispina was based on very young males, the length of carapax in his measurement of a single specimen being equal to 14.5™", and the B. brevispina on a very large female in which the carapax was 49™™" in length. A. Milne-Edwards’s specimens were evi- dently small, although he apparently translates the measurements given by Stimpson and does not indicate the exact size of the speci- men figured. In the series of specimens which I have examined the largest are connected with the smallest by a complete series, and though none of the specimens are as large as the type of Stimpson’s brevispina, the larger ones, both male and female, approach if closely enough in the length of the lateral spines of the carapax, etc., to make it clear that the forms described by Stimpson belong to the same species. The accompanying table of measurements will show this quite as well as any description. In specimens shortly after being placed in alcohol, and before the colors had changed materially from those in life, the dorsum of the cara- pax was dull red, the color being almost wholly upon the tubercles and granules, while the ground between was grayish, though the spines and teeth of the margin were brighter red than the general surface from a slight deposit of color between the tubercles and granules. The ven- tral surface of the carapax, the antennule, antenne, external maxillipeds, sternum, abdomen, and the proximal portions of the ambulatory legs were pale red or tinged with red. The chelipeds were specked and slightly mottled with red; the terminal third of the digits scarlet, some what obscured at the tips by blackish. The meral and carpal segments of the first three pairs of ambulatory legs, and the meral, carpal, and propodal segments of the posterior pair were specked and mottled with scarlet; the propodal segments of the first three pairs, except a narrow band at the distal end, and the whole of the dactyli of all four pairs were bright scarlet.

Cymopolia gracilis, sp. nov. This species, of which only one specimen has been obtained, resembles C. cursor, A. Milne-Edwards (Bull. Mus. Comp. Zool. Cambridge, viii, p. 29, 1880), in the great length of the second pair of ambulatory legs, but is at once distinguished by the much smoother carapax without tubercles on the posterior margin, by the broad sinuses of the superior margin of the orbit, and by the conspicuously hook-shaped tips of the first pair of abdominal appendages of the male. Male.—The front is deeply divided by a sharp median sinus, and is slightly and obtusely bilobed either side, with the inner lobes much more prominent than the lateral. The orbit is very broad and open above. The superior margin is armed with two small teeth, separated from each other and from the inner and outer angles of the orbit by rounded sinuses, of which the inner is very broad and nearly semicircular ; the middle and outer successively smaller; the outer angle is triangular and a little less prominent than the outer suborbital lobe, which is dentiform and separated from it by a shallow sinus; and the inner sub- orbital process (which is also the dorsal wall of the efferent branchial passage) is narrow, rounded at the tip, reaches nearly as far forward as the lobes of the front, and is separated from the outer suborbital lobe by a very broad and rounded sinus. The antero-lateral margin is un- armed, except by a small dentiform tubercle on the anterior part of the branchial region in place of the sharp tooth in C. cursor. The dorsal surface of the carapax is naked, minutely granulated, and armed with a very few low and obtuse tubercles. There are three faintly indicated tubercles on the middle of the gastric region; two, the largest of all, surmount a transverse ridge on the anterior part of the cardiac region ; on either side, and nearly in line with these, are two smaller ones on the branchial region, above and back of the dentiform marginal tubercle already referred to; and in front of these two small ones there is a slight but scarcely tuberculiform elevation. The eyes are large, the greatest diameter equaling nearly a third the length of the carapax, reniform, and bear upon the upper side of the stalk, near the cornea, two or three minute elevations, which are much less conspicuous than the tubercles similarly situated in C. cursor. The chelipeds are slightly longer than the breadth of the carapax, and the chele are slender, naked, and nearly smooth, and the long, compressed, and very slender digits hooked at the tips and serrate along the prehensile edges. The first ambulatory leg is nearly twice as long as the breadth of the carapax, very slender, naked, and nearly smooth, except a very few minute granular tubercles near the base of the merus, and the dactylus is nearly as long as the propodus, sub- cylindrical, regularly tapered and slightly curved. The second ambu- latory leg is apparently more than twice as long as the first; the merus reaches nearly to the tip of the first leg, is tapered distally, and is armed with a few minute teeth near the distal end of the posterior edge PROCEEDINGS OF UNITED STATES NATIONAL MUSEUM. 21 and along the anterior and dorsal surface with small granular tubercles which become obsolete distally, are much less conspicuous than in C. cursor, and not definitely arranged in several longitudinal lines as in that species; the carpus is about two-fifths as long as the merus, slender and unarmed; the dactylus and the distal part of the propodus are wanting. The third ambulatory leg is a little longer than the first, fully as slender, and very much like it in lack of ornamentation and in the proportions of the segments. The posterior ambulatory legs are shorter than the merus in the third, and very slender. The abdomen is unarmed externally. The first pair of appendages reach to the second sternal somite, and the distal part of each appendage is straight to near the tip, which is curved outward and backward in a semicircular, blunt-pointed hook, and armed on the outer edge at the | base of the hook with a conspicuous tooth.

The anterior-lateral margin projects in a dentiform tubercle on the hepatic region, and back of this on the anterior part of the branchial region there is an acute and prominent tooth directed somewhat forward, and a smaller but acute tooth, just back of its base.* The first pair of *There is evident confusion in regard to the armament of the antero-lateral margin in Milne-Edwards’s description aboye referred to, for he says, ‘‘ Le bord latéral ne porte pas des dents, en avant du sillon post-hépatique les régions branchiales sont pourvues des quelques gros tubercules sur leur bord.” I have examined four of the original specimens of C. cursor returned to the Museum of Comparative Zoology, and they all have the antero-lateral margin armed, as here described, but agree in all other re- spects with Milne-Edwards’s brief description. 22 PROCEEDINGS OF UNITED STATES NATIONAL MUSEUM. abdominal appendages of the male are fully as long as in gracilis, but the tips are slender and styliform instead of hooked. Ethusa microphthalma Smith, Proc. National Mus., iii, p. 418, 1881. Station 921, off Martha’s Vineyard, N. lat. 40° 7/ 48”, W. long. 70° 43/ 54”, 67 fath. (13,12); station 1047, off Delaware Bay, N. lat. 38° 31, W. long. 73° 21’, 156 fath. (1 ¢). The original specimen was from station 878, off Martha’s Vineyard, N. lat. 89° 55’, W. long. 70° 54/15”, 142 fath. The female from station 921 is fully adult, but does not differ essen- tially from the immature female from which the species was originally described; in this fully adult specimen the antero-lateral angles of the carapax, however, project farther forward, reaching a little beyond the spines of the front, and the ambulatory legs are apparently propor- tionally longer and have proportionally slightly longer and narrower dactyli. The two males differ very remarkably from one another, and are pos- sibly distinct species. The one from station 921 is only slightly larger than the immature female (from station 878) and differs very little from it in the proportions of the carapax, the form of the front, or in the eyes, external oral appendages, or ambulatory legs, except that the first and second pairs are proportionally longer, with slightly longer and narrower dactyli. The chelipeds, however, are very unequal. The left is slender throughout, and like those of the female, while the right, though very little longer than the left, has a very stout and swollen chela. The right merus is much like the left, but considerably stouter; the carpus is much stouterthan the left, and considerably swollen; and the chelais more than twice as thick as the left, smooth and naked throughout, the body longer than the digits and much swollen, and the digits tapered to the tip, the prehensile edges somewhat oblique and unarmed. The male from station 1047, though of about the same size as the other, has a narrower carapax, distinctly longer than broad, but with the front abso- lutely broader; the ambulatory legs are considerably shorter, and with slightly broader dactyli; and the chelipeds are equal, and like the left one of the other male, except that they are very slightly shorter, and with proportionally slightly shorter chelz.

The species is allied to L. maia and L. antarctica in having no scale _ and only a single spine at the base of the antenna, and in the general form and armament of the carapax and appendages, but differs from them both conspicuously in the rostrum, which is rather short and tri- spinous, with the lateral spines nearly as long as the rostral spine itself. The spines upon the carapax and appendages are more numerous and much more acute than in LZ. maia, and the marginal spines of the cara- pax are not very much larger than the dorsal. The two adults differ remarkably from each other, and from the immature specimens, in the number and length of the spines upon the carapax and legs, the spines being fewer and very much longer and more slender in the small specimens than in the adults, and more slender and more numerous in the smaller than in the larger of the two adult specimens.

The carapax is not suddenly narrowed at the bases of the antenne, where the breadth is equal to the length in front of the cervical suture, and not rostrated, the median lobe of the front being broadly rounded and not projecting as far forward as the external angles of the orbital sinuses, which are acute and each usually armed with a short spine. The eyestalks, including the eyes, are nearly four-tifths as long as the breadth of the carapax in front, stout, and expanded at the very large black eyes, which are terminal, not oblique, compressed vertically, and broader than half the length of the stalks. The ophthalmic scales are small, narrow, and spiniform at the tips. The peduncle of the antennula is about as long as the breadth of the carapax in front, and the ultimate segment about a third longer than the penultimate. The upper flagellum is much longer than the ultimate segment of the peduncle, while the lower is only about half as long as 28 PROCEEDINGS OF UNITED STATES NATIONAL MUSEUM. the upper, slender, and composed of ten to twelve segments. The peduncle of the antenna reaches slightly beyond the eye. The acicleis slender, slightly curved, and reaches to the tip of the peduncle, and inside its base there is a minute tooth, while outside there is a straight spine toothed or spined along its inner edge, acute at the tip and half as long as the acicle itself. The flagellum is nearly naked, and about three times as long as the carapax. The exposed parts of the oral appendages are very nearly as in #. bernhardus. The chelipeds are longer, much narrower, and more nearly equal in size than in E. bernhardus, and, as in that species, are almost entirely naked, but beset with numerous tubercles and low spines. ‘The right cheliped is about as long as the body from the front of the carapax to the tip of the abdomen. The merus and carpus are subequal in length, while the chela is about once and a half as long as the carpus. The carpus and chela are rounded above and armed with numerous tuber- cles, which are smaller and more crowded on the chela than on the carpus, but the sarface between the tubercles is smooth and polished. The dorsal surface of the carpus is limited along the inner edge by a sharp angle armed with a double line of tubercles, while the outer edge is rounded. The chela is very little wider than the carpus, and is nar- rowed from near the base to the tips of the digits, and both edges are rounded. The digits are rather slender, about half as long as the entire chela, slightly gaping, with acute and strongly incurved chitinous tips, and the prehensile edges armed with a very few obtuse tubereculiform teeth. The left chela is much more slender than the right, but reaches to or a little by the base of its dactylus. The carpus is slender, higher than broad, only slightly expanded distally, and with the narrow dorsal surface flattened, naked, nearly smooth, and margined either side with a single line of spiniform tubercles, while the rest of the surface is beset with low, squamiform, setiferous tubercles. The chela is about a third longer than the carpus, slender, about two and a half times as long as broad, and the dactylus about two-thirds the entire length. The dorsal and outer surface is tuberculose, and a low obtuse ridge extends from near the middle of the base along the propodal digit, which tapers from the base to the tip, while the dactylus is nearly or quite smooth except for a few fascicles of seta, more slender than the propodal digit, and tapered only near the tip. The chitinous tips of the digits are slender, acute, and strongly incurved, and the prehensile edges are sharp, and armed with a closely set series of slender spines or sete. The ambulatory legs reach considerably beyond the right cheliped, and the second pair reach to the tips of the first pair. In both pairs the meri and propodi are approximately equal in length and longer than the carpi, while the dactyli are about once and a half as long as the pro- podi, slender, strongly curved, and distally strongly twisted. The two PROCEEDINGS OF UNITED STATES NATIONAL MUSEUM. 20 posterior pairs of thoracic legs and the abdominal appendages are very nearly as.in EL. bernhardus. / In life the general color of the exposed parts is pale orange, the tips of the chelx and of the ambulatory legs white, the eyes black. The eggs are very large, and few in number as compared with the ordinary species of the genus, being 1.0™™ to 1.1™™ in diameter in alco- holic specimens, while in H. bernhardus they are only 0.45™™ to 0.50™™ in diameter.

The accompanying list of specimens examined shows that this is one of the most uniformly distributed and abundant species in from 50 to 400 fathoms from Cape Cod to the Carolina coast. I have already ex- amined specimens from more than three-quarters of the whole number of dredgings made by the Fish Commission during the past three years within this region and between these depths.

S. 2 | | | The large number of specimens which have been obtained since this species was first described enables me to supplement to a considerable extent the original description, drawn from a single specimen from which the oral appendages were not removed. The labrum, metastome, mandibles, and the first maxillaare essentially as in Hupagurus bernhardus. The lobes of the protognath of the second maxilla are very nearly as in Hupagurus bernhardus ; the endognath is a little longer than in that species, reaching nearly as far forward as the dis- tal lobe of the protopod; the scaphognath is very different from that of Eupagurus bernhardus, the anterior part being very much larger and nar- rowed to a triangular tip reaching much beyond the middle of the endog- nath, while the posterior part is elongated, somewhat ovate in outline, about two-thirds as long as the anterior, and very little more than half as broad as long. The lobes of the protopod and the endopod of the first maxilliped are nearly as in Hupagurus bernhardus except that the endo- pod is united with the exopod for a considerable distance from the base; the endopod itself, however, is very different, being a simple, un- segmented lamella, shorter than the endopod, broad and truncated at the extremity and setigerous along the outer and terminal edges. Just back of the base of the exopod the edge of the protopod is setigerous and projects laterally in a slight prominence apparently representing the epipod. The second and third (external) maxillipeds are essentially as in Hupagurus bernkardus.

In the original specimen, and in all those not preserved with special care, the branchie are flaccid and the papillz of which they are composed are collapsed, apparently cylindrical throughout, and without definite arrangement along the stem of the branchia; but in specimens carefully preserved in strong alcohol the papille in the thicker parts of the branchie are seen to be slightly flattened toward their bases in the direction of the axes of the branchiz, and to have a definite arrangement in four longitudinal series, showing, in a transverse section of the branchia, two papille either side of the central axis in place of the thin lamella attached by one edge to either side of the lamelliform central stem of the phyllobranchia of ordinary Paguroids. Toward the tips of the branchize the papille become truly cylindrical as in Homarus or A stacus, and in some of the smaller branchiz, as in the arthrobranchiz of the external maxillipeds, the papille upon one side of the branchia are very small or rudimentary; but in all cases the ultimate divisions of the branchie are apparently strictly tricho- branchial in structure, the blood vessels on either side of each papilla giving off capillary branches in opposite directions to the surface of the papilla. The structure is essentially as in Astacus, and the difference is not apparent without close examination. From ordinary Paguroids, like Eupagurus bernhardus, however, it is widely different, but this dif- ference is partially bridged by the structure of the branchie in Sympa- gurus pictus about to be described, although there the branchiz are es- sentially phyllobranchiz. In the chelipeds the merus, carpus, and chela are very densely clothed, except at the tips of the digits, a space on the under side and at the base of the chela, and the inner side of the merus, with a very fine and soft pubescence usually loaded with fine mud when the specimens are first taken. Individuals differ considerably in the form and proportions of the cheli- peds. In one large male, measurements of which are given in the last column in the accompanying table of measurements, the right cheliped is only very slightly longer and scarcely stouter than the left, and the chela differs from that of the left only slightly in form. The defective development of the right cheliped in this specimen probably resulted 36 PROCEEDINGS OF UNITED STATES NATIONAL MUSEUM. from the loss and reproduction of the limb, but in other specimens there are considerable differences in the form of the right chela which are apparently not the result of loss and reproduction, though it may be possible that all the cases of considerable variation in the form of the chele are due to this cause. The right chela is, in both sexes, usually very broad, half or more than half as broad as long, but in some speci- mens, aS shown in the second column of the table of measurements, it is much narrower, only about three-eighths as broad as long. The appendages of the second abdominal somite of the male are fre- quently very distinctly unequal in size, the right being longer than the left, but in many specimens they are exactly alike. The appendages ot the first somite are apparently perfectly symmetrical in all the speci- mens examined. The females appear to be a little smaller than the males, but appar- ently do not differ in the form or proportions of any of the cephalo- thoracic appendages. There are four well-developed biramus append- ages on the left side of the abdomen as in the species of Hupagurus, and the third, fourth, and fifth somites are each furnished with a diffuse dorsal tuft of long hairs. The eggs are nearly spherical and larger than in Hupagurus bernhardus, being nearly a millimeter in diameter in alcoholic specimens. In life the general color of the naked and exposed parts is pale, dull orange, darker at the tips of the ambulatory legs, without any of the conspicuous red markings characteristic of Sympagurus pictus. All of the carcinecia seen are formed by colonies of Hpizoanthus paguriphilus Verrill, which at first invest spiral shells which are finally absorbed by the basal ccenenchyma of the growing polyps. In some of the very small specimens the investing walls of the polyp are so thin that the form and markings of the inclosed shell are distinctly visible through them, but in all the larger specimens the shell is completely absorbed.

The single species of the genus here proposed is readily distinguished from Parapagurus by the shortness of the peduncles of the antennule and the well developed eyes, in which respects it agrees essentially with Eupagurus. It differs essentially from Parapagurus in having phyllo- branchiz, which are the same in number and arranged inthe same way as in Parapagurus and Eupagurus, but differ much from the branchize of Eupagurus and the ordinary Paguroids in having the lamelle long, nar- row, attached by one end to the narrow stem of the branchia and arranged in two loosely packed longitudinal series either side of the axis of the branchia. At the extremity of the branchix, however, the lamell become very narrow, and at the extreme tips apparently papilliform as at the tips of the branchie of Parapagurus. The oral, thoracic, and abdominal appendages are essentially as in Parapagurus, the sexual appendages of the first and second somites of the abdomen of the male are, however, much smaller and less perfectly developed. Sympagurus pictus, sp. nov. (Pl. 5, Figs. 2, 2a; Pl. 6, Figs. 5-8.) The carapax is divided by a deep, cervical suture, which is arcuate as in Parapagurus pilosimanus, but is narrowed anteriorly much more than in that species, the breadth at the bases of the antenne scarcely equaling the length in front of the cervical suture. The anterior margin projects in a prominent triangular rostrum with a distinct longitudinal carina, and either side is considerably oblique, with only a slight prominence between the base of the eyestalk and the peduncle of the antenna. The eyestalks, including the eyes, are about two-fifths as long as the carapax along the dorsal line, stout, aud expanded at the very large black eyes, which are terminal, not oblique, compressed vertically, and from two-fifths to nearly a half as broad as the length of the stalks. The ophthalmic scales are small, spiniform, and acute as in Parapagurus pilosimanus. The peduncle of the antennula is a little longer than the breadth of the carapax in front, the second segment reaches to the tip of the eye, and the ultimate segment is about half the entire length. The upper flag- ellum is about as long as the ultimate segment of the peduncle, while the lower is only about half as long, slender, and composed of seven or eight segments. The peduncle of the antenna reaches slightly by the eye and the ultimate segment is nearly twice as long as the penultimate. The acicle is slender, sparsely setigerous, and reaches to the tip of the peduncle, and outside its base there is a dentiform process, but no tooth or spine inside. The flagellum is nearly naked and about four times as long as the carapax. The oral appendages are all nearly as in Parapagurus pilosimanus, except that, in the second maxilla, the endognath is broader at the base, the anterior lobe of the scaphognath is shorter and broader, though still triangular at the tip, and the posterior lobe is shorter, 38 PROCEEDINGS OF UNITED STATES NATIONAL MUSEUM. broader, and approximately triangular; while, in the first maxilliped, the endopod and exopod are a little shorter and the latter rotinded at the extremity. The chelipeds are densely pubescent, as in Parapagurus pilosimanus, and resemble those of that species closely until the pubescence is re- moved, when they are seen to be different in form and armament. The right cheliped in fully grown specimens is about three times as long as the carapax along the dorsal line. The carpus is slightly longer than the merus, obscurly angulated along the inner dorsal edge, and the dorsal surface covered with small tubercles which are acute and almost spiniform along the inner edge. The chela is at least once and two- thirds as long as the carpus, much less than half as broad as long, com- pressed vertically, convex, and only slightly tuberculous above and below, but armed along the edges with sharp tubercles, which are most conspicuous along the inner edge and particularly on the dactylus, where they become spiniform. The digits are longitudinal, not turned to the right as in Parapagurus pilosimanus, about as long as the body of the chela, regularly tapered toward the strongly hooked tips, and the pre- hensile edges armed with irregular, low, and obtuse tubercles. The left cheliped is about two-thirds as long as the right, very slender, and clothed with pubescence like the right. The carpus is scarcely longer or stouter than the merus, and angulated and armed with a few sharp tubercles along the inner dorsal edge. The chela is about once and two-thirds as long as the earpus, scarcely stouter, rounded and unarmed, with the digits much longer than the body, slender, slightly curved downward at the tips, not gaping, and the prehensile edges sharp and armed with a closely set series of minute spines. The ambulatory legs reach to or a little by the right cheliped, are smooth and nearly naked, except near the tips, and unarmed, except a small dentiform tooth at the distal end of the dorsal edge of the carpus. The dactyli are longer than the propodi, slender, laterally compressed, strongly curved toward the acute tips, and setigerous along the dorsal edge and on the inner side. The fourth and fifth pairs of legs and the sterna of all the thoracic somites are as in Parapagurus pilosimanus. The appendages of the first and second abdominal somites of the male arise in the same way as in Parapagurus pilosimanus. The appen- dages of the first somite are like those of Parapagurus pilosimanus in form, but are very much smaller, being scarcely 3 millimeters in length in the largest specimen examined, and project only a little way below the coxe of the posterior thoracic legs. The appendages of the second somite are very unequally developed; the right is nearly as in Parapa- gurus pilosimanus in form, but is much smaller, being only 7 millimeters long in the largest male examined, and the terminal lamelliform seg- ment is a little broader in proportion, being about a fourth longer than the basal portion and a fourth as broad as long, and is apparently less deeply grooved; while the left is very much smaller, only 4.8 millime- PROCEEDINGS OF UNITED STATES NATIONAL MUSEUM. 39 ‘ ters long in thespecimen just referred to, and the terminal lamella smaller even than the basal portion, very narrow, and scarcely at all grooved. The appendages of the left side of the third, fourth, and fifth somites of the abdomen of the male, the four ovigerous appendages of the left side of the abdomen of the female, and the uropods in both sexes, are asin Parapagurus pilosimanus and Lupagurus bernhardus. The telson is about as broad as long, but bilaterally unsymmetrical, the left side being longer than the right, and the posterior margin oblique, with a slight anal emargination a little to the right of the center. The carcinecium of the specimen from station 895 is formed by Epizo- anthus Americanus Verrill, but the carcinecia of all the other specimens examined are formed by the base of a single polyp of Urticina consors Verrill (Amer. Jour. Sci., III, xxiii, p. 225, 1882). Measurements. Station— 939. 924, 1114.

In my preliminary notice of two years ago I referred this species doubtfully, as indicated above, to Stimpson’s species described froma single very small specimen which is no longer extant. Almost simul- taneously Milne-Edwards published ten new species of the genus from the Blake dredgings in the Caribbean region, and referred specimens of still another to Stimpson’s Caribea, but without describing them at all. Tt seems best to restrict Stimpson’s name to the species called Caribea by Milne-Edwards, whatever that may be, but it is quite impossible to determine from Milne-Edwards’s descriptions alone whether the species which I have called Caribea belongs to either of the eleven species . enumerated by him and, untilit is possible to settle this point satisfac- torily, the species may be conveniently designated Munida Caribea? Smith, as above. The species attains greater size than any of the specimens taken in 1880, measurements of some of the largest of which were given in my preliminary notice of two years ago. The specimens from the same sta- tion are usually approximately alike in size, those from one station being nearly all small, while those from another, even near by and on the same day, are nearly all large. The largest specimens are from sta- tion 1043, off Delaware Bay, and six of these give the following meas- urements in millimeters: PROCEEDINGS OF UNITED STATES NATIONAL MUSEUM.

ON THE MACROCHEILUS OF PHILLIPS, PLECTOSTYLUS OF CON- RAD, AND SOLENISCUS OF MEEK & WORTHEN. By CHARLES A. WHITE. Among the somewhat numerous species of fossil shells which have been published from North American Devonian and Carboniferous rocks, especially the latter, and which have been referred to the genus Macro- cheilus of Phillips, are certain forms which plainly do not answer the de- scription of that genus as it was originally given or as its characteristics have usually been stated by authors. The differences between these spe- cies and those which I regard as true Macrocheilus pertain mainly to the columella and inner lip, but they also possess a more massive test than those which are referred to Macrocheilus proper. Some of the American species which have been referred to Macrocheilus have a plain, more or less sinuous inner lip, which is only slightly covered with callus, and destitute of any trace of ridges or folds. These I assume to be typical forms of that genus, and the following, among others, may be mentioned as examples: Macrocheilus hebe and M. hamiltonie Hall, of the Devonian, and M. anguliferus White, of the Carboniferous. My present belief is that all the Devonian forms which have been referred to Macrocheilus will fall into this group, but it will properly include only a very small part of those which have been referred to that genus from Carboniferous strata. With the very few exceptions referred to, I think that all the numer- ous North American Carboniferous forms which various authors have referred to Macrocheilus constitute a distinct natural group, which ought to be designated by one and a different generic name. I also think the form for which Meek and Worthen proposed the generic name of Solenis- cus should be included in this group. The shells of this group are characterized by a more or less thickened inner lip, which also bears one more or less distinct revolving fold. This fold, when the outer lip is entire, is usually visible only as an obtuse prominence near the anterior end of the inner lip, but upon breaking away the outer lip the fold is usually found to be distinct and often sharp and prominent. Sometimes also there is upon the posterior side of the fold a broad, concave depression, which ends at and deepens the inward flexure of the inner lip, the posterior border of which depression is some- times so well defined as to appear like a second revolving fold. This depression, which is sometimes a tolerably distinct groove, is excavated out of the callus which covers the columella and inner lip, in such cases quite thickly, between the depression and the posterior angle of the PROCEEDINGS OF UNITED STATES NATIONAL MUSEUM. 185 aperture. Forward of the fold there is little and sometimes no accumu- lation of callus, the anterior end of the outer lip, where it joins the inner lip, being usually thin and more or less prominent when entire. There is, therefore, in unbroken shells a rather broad, short, more or less dis- tinct anterior canal, too broad and short to really deserve the name of canal, strongly recalling the corresponding part of Nassa. The anterior border of this short canal, however, is prominent, and not emarginate, as in Nassa. From the fact that the columellar fold upon these Carboniferous shells is distinct only within the aperture, and the latter is usually filled with the imbedding matrix, this distinguishing feature seems to have usually escaped notice. It has not always done so, however; both those emi- nent paleontologists, Professors Hall* and Geinitz,t having referred to itin published descriptions. Meek and Worthen also observed that the inner lip is usually provided with an obtuse revolving fold”; but none of these authors appear to have regarded that feature as ee such shells generically from those which are destitute of it. Mr. Conrad, however, so early as 1842, proposed the generic name of Plectostylus to include shells possessing this character, but that name was previously used by Beck for another group of mollusks. Mr. 8. A. Miller, also, in his Catalogue of American Paleozoic Fossils, refers the Macrocheilus halli of Geinitz to Soleniscus Meek and Worthen. In 1881 I deseribedé two similar species from the Carboniferous rocks of New Mexico, and also referred them to Soleniscus. Notwithstanding the conscientious accuracy which is apparent in all the work of those authors, I suspected that the anterior portion of Meek and Worthen’s type species of Soleniscus is not so prominent as ‘it is represented to be by the restored part of their figures. Applying to Mr. Worthen for permission to examine the type-speci- men, I learned that it was inaccessible, but he sent me for examination an authentic duplicate example. ...

The head is longer than the distance between it and the root of the ventral; the supra- maxillary reaches the vertical of the front margin of the eye; the dorsal is entirely behind the ventrals; the anal commences as far behind the root of the ventrals as the latter is behind the preoperculum; the pec- torals nearly reach backward to the ventrals; the squamation is similar to that of the H. macrochir. This species has been confounded with the H. macrochir by previous writers, and it is certainly very nearly related to it, but it appears to be specifically separable by the number of rays in the dorsal and ventral fins and the proportions of those parts contrasted above. I take pleasure in dedicating it to my friend, Prof. G. Brown Goode, who first, in union with Dr. Bean, determined its existence, as well as its near relationship to H. macrochir. N. M.

By THEODORE GILL and JOHN A. RYDER. Hitherto only three species have been recognized among the Nemich- thyoid eels—three species of Nemichthys (NV. scolopaceus, N. avocetta, and N. infans) and one representing an isolated type that possibly repre- sents another family—the genus Cyema of Dr. Giinther. But the trawl- ing operations of the United States Fish Commission steamer Albatross were rewarded in 1883 by the finding of not less than four species rep- resenting three hitherto unknown modifications of structure necessi- tating generic distinction. One of these forms was in most respects closely allied to the ordinary long known type, but the other two were very different. Diagnoses of the new types are here offered in advance of the publication of more detailed descriptions and illustrations at some other time. SERRIVOMER.

The remarkable fish called Hurypharynx was one of the fruits of the ex- plorations of the French vessel Travailleur in 1882. A single specimen about a foot and a half long was obtained off the coast of Morocco at a depth of 2,500 meters (about 1,100 fathoms), and has been partially described by M. L. Vaillant under the name Lurypharyne pelecanoides. Three specimens of the same general type of fishes were found by the United States Fish Commission steamer Albatross in August and Sep- tember, 1883, and might be considered to be generically and even specifically identical with Lurypharynx pelecanoides were it not for sev- eral positive statements made by the describer of that species. The problem of the relations of Hurypharnyx to other fishes has been discussed by M. Vaillant with what appears to us to be negative results and one set of conclusions necessarily contravenes another. But it is only just to M. Vaillant to let the opinions as to the affinity of the fish enunciated by him be presented in his own language: ‘“ We may say that the fish presents relations with the Anacanthini, with certain Physostomi,such as the Scopelidz and Stomiatide, and also with the Apodes. While it resembles these last in the want of ventral fins and the imperfection of the opercular apparatus, it differs from them too much inits well-developed and absolutely free intermaxillaries to allow it to be placed in the same group. As regards the Scopelide and Stomiatidse, all the known genera in those families have a very widely open branchial orifice: in the former the intermaxillary alone forms — PROCEEDINGS OF UNITED STATES NATIONAL MUSEUM. 263 the free border of the upper jaw; in the latter the maxillary forms part of it; and thus it would be the Scopelidz that ELurypharynx would ap- proach, especially as it does not present the hyoidean barbel which has hitherto been indicated as characteristic of the Stomiatide. ‘“ However, of all fishes it is to Malacosteus niger, Ayres, placed in the latter family by zoologists, that we are tempted to approximate the animal here under consideration; they alone present the simple arrange- ments of the suspensorium indicated above. “ But, finally, itis perhaps with the Anacanthini that its relations seem to be most real, whether we consider the form of the body, which greatly resembles that of Macrurus, or the absence of ventral fins, which is usual in certain animals of the group; thus several Ophid ide and all the Lycodide (the latter even having their branchial orifice reduced, although not to the degree that occurs in our animal) increase the prob- ability attaching to this view. However, the characters of Hurypha- rynx are so strongly marked that in any case it is necessary to regard it as the type of a new family; and of this it would be the sole represent- ative, unless subsequent investigations show that we must unite with it the genus Malacosteus.”—( Vaillant, op. cit.) We are unable to appreciate any affinity of Gastrostomus to any Ana- canthines, Physostomes, or typical Apods, nor does it seem to be at all related to Malacosteus, which has been universally considered to be a little modified Stomiatid. Our own conclusions are expressed in the following arrangement. The characters observed in the specimens collected by the Albatross may be segregated into several categories—(1) those disagreeing with structural characters exhibited by all normal Teleosts and which are paramount even to the characters usually considered to be of ordinal value; (2) those presumably common to the western and eastern Atlantic forms and which may be regarded as of family value; and (5) the char- acters alleged to be peculiar to Hurypharyne on one hand and on the other confirmed as to their discrepancy in the American form. In this order we here expose the cardinal characteristics of the Eurypharyn- goid fishes in advance of a monograph in which we propose to describe and illustrate in detail their morphology, and discuss their relationship to other fishes, and especially to the Saccopharyngids and eel like types generally. ORDER LYOMERL Fishes with five branchial arches* (none modified as branchiostegal or pharyngeal) far behind the skull; an imperfectly ossified cranium, articulating with the first vertebra by a basi-occipital condyle alone; only two cephalic arches, both freely movable, (1) an anterior denti- gerous one—the palatine, and (2) the suspensorial, consisting of the * “We find six pairs of interior branchial clefts, and consequently five branchia ” in Eurypharynz.—V AILLANT. 264 PROCEEDINGS OF UNITED STATES NATIONAL MUSEUM, hyomandibular and quadrate bones ;* without maxillary bones or dis- tinct posterior bony elements to the mandible; with an imperfect scap- ular arch remote from the skull; and with separately ossified but im- perfect vertebra. t FAMILY EURYPHARYNGID. Nouvelle famille Vaillant, Comptes Rendus. Acad. Sc. Paris, t. —, p. 1226, Dee. 11, 1882 (not named), EBurypharyngide Gill, Science, v. 1, p. 231, March 30, 1883. Lyomeres with the head flat above and witha transverse rostral margin, at the outer angles of which the eyes are exposed, with the jaws exces- sively elongated backwards and the upper parallel and closing against each other as far as the articulation of the two suspensorial bones, with minute teeth on both jaws, with a short abdomen and long attenuated tail, branchial apertures nasrow and very far behind, dorsal and anal fins continued nearly to the end of the tail, and minute pectoral fins. The mandibular rami are exceedingly narrow and slender, but the jaws are extremely expansible and the skin is correspondingly dilatable ; consequently an enormous pouch may be developed. Inasmuch as the slenderness and fragility of the jaws and the absence of raptorial teeth (at least in Gastrostomus) preclude the idea of the species being true fish of prey, it is probable that they may derive their food from the water which is received into the pouch, by a process of selection of the small or minute organisms therein contained. The peculiar closure of the anterior half of the upper jaws upon each other, and the co-ordinate joint between the hyomandibular and quad- rate elements of the suspensorium are doubtless correlated with the mode of ingestion or selection of food. The skin constituting the pouch, it may be added, has a peculiar velvety appearance, and also reminds one of the patagium or wing membrane of a bat. But a more detailed summary of the salient characteristics of the type may be justly de- manded at once. OSTEOLOGY. The skeleton is noteworthy for its simplicity or rather fewness of its parts, but the homologies of these parts are, for that very reason, not evident at first sight. We necessarily confine our attention to Gastros- tomus, as the parts of Burypharynx have not yet been described or figured. The cranium above is really pentagonal, but apparently, in the main, transversely quadrate, expanding backwards around the foramen mag- num (which is conspicuous from above) and forwards into the ethmoid enya, which is a sais from the main spention by a sirneae “We find neither lveidean eparatas nor opere ‘all ar pieces. VAILLANT. + “It is important to indicate the complete absence of the swimming bladder.”— VAILLANT, > PROCEEDINGS OF UNITED STATES NATIONAL MUSEUM. 265 tion; below it appears to have more of a pentagonal outline on account of the less irregularity of the surface near the contour. The notochord is persistent in the skull for half the length of the basi- occipital. The occipital condyle is transverse and there are no lateral ones. The basioccipital occupies nearly a third of the length of the base of the cranium. ; There is a very small supraoccipital developed as a transverse bone above the foramen magnum and protruded forward as a triangular wedge between the parietals. External to the exoccipital there is an opisthotic element, in front of which succeeds a discoidal element (which is probably the proétic) with which alone the hyomandibular articulates, not coming in contact with any other otic bones. There are well-marked exoccipitals and alisphenoids which have more or less distinct sutural relations with adjoining bones, but their limits have not been clearly determined. External to the parietals there is a pterotic with lateral and ventral fossxe for the insertion of the strong muscles which move the jaws. The parasphenoid is present and extends as a narrow splint from the hinder portion of the basioccipital to very near the end of the rostrum, where it widens and assumes a slightly spatulate form, resting free on the ethmoid expansion, there being no vomer developed. The presphenoid has not been worked as to its limits anteriorly, but the fifth nerve passes out of the skull behind the alisphenoid in its usual relative position to other parts and immediately within and in front of the discoidal element lodged in a fossa behind the alisphenoi@ and be- low the pterotic, and with which the styliform hyomandibular has an articulation admitting of a swinging movement, inasmuch as the pter- otic itself is slightly mobile in relation to the adjacent bones. The parietals are the best developed bones, aud cover most of the hinder half of the cranium, those ot the two sides being in contact from near the foramen to near the center of the roof. In front of the parietals there are postfrontals which form laterally the posterior border of the orbit. The ethmoid o¢ rostral part of the cranium is cartilaginous or like the chondrocranium of the typical teleost in its histological characters. The orbital fosse open obliquely forwards and directly downwards, and there are no infraorbital bones. The nasal fosse are depressed excavations in the lateral region of the cranial rostrum, partly roofed over above and from behind by horizon- taliy projecting cartilaginous ridges; they open obliquely forwards and outwards within a very short distance of the upper side of the end of the snout. The foramen for the passage of the ninth and tenth nerves opens alongside the basioccipital and perforates the exoccipital. 266 PROCEEDINGS OF UNITED STATES NATIONAL MUSEUM. There is no vomer developed, but a triangular cartilaginous element pendent trom the cranial rostrum affords attachment for the palatine element anteriorly; this element is inclined obliquely downwards and backwards and is joined to the rostrum by its anterior border. The articular condyle for the suspensorium, as already indicated, is a discoidal cartilaginous element (resting in a fossa under the lateral ex- pansion of the cranium); it has a papilliform eminence in the center, which fits into a conical depression in the head of the slender hyoman- dibular bone; the hyomandibular, and especially the quadrate, are ex- cessively elongated and articulate by an intermediary cylindroidal car- tilaginous bond, which reminds one of the intervertebral disks seen in the spinal column of mammals; this cartilage is ensheathed behind by a splint-like prolongation of the quadrate, which is prolonged and at- tenuated on the surface of the hyomandibular; the distal end of the quadrate is grooved longitudinally, forming, with the articular end of the mandible, a complete ginglymus joint. The vertebre are very numerous, and at the same time very simple and little differentiated from each other. The vertebral centra are annular, and constricted in the middle like a dice-box, and the cavity of each vertebra is filled with vacuolated tissue, the remains of the chorda; the centra are connected together by cartilaginous annular ligaments. The neurapophyses are slender, diverging (instead of convergent), car- tilaginous distally, and embracing the neural sheaths on the sides, while by the neurapophyses is supported a membranous sheath which roofs over the nervous chord, and around which there is a wide serous space which extends into the cranium, expanding so that the serous space around the brain is as capacious relatively as, or more so than, in Elas- mobranchs. Hemapophyses are represented by parallel plates on the ventral face of the centra, and these plates are broadest at the ends of the vertebra. The first vertebra is shorter than those which follow, and the caudal vertebre are simpler than those of the body and prebranchial region ; at the extreme tip of the tail there are possibly no vertebra differen- tiated, the skeletal axis of the body being represented by the notochord and its sheath. The interspinous basalia of the median fin rays are composed of two pieces, one proximal, the other distal, with the articular extremities represented by cartilage. The median fin rays at their base have cartilaginous articular por- tions mesially divided, the halves continued distally into the lateral halves of the unsegmented rays. The medulla or axial portion of the rays is not cartilaginous. There is an eradiate ventral fold of ectoblast, as in embryo fishes. No dorsal or anal rays exist for some distance from the end of the tail. (These last are features which would indicate a defective development of the extreme caudal end of the bony skeletal axis of the body.) PROCEEDINGS OF UNITED STATES NATIONAL MUSEUM. 267 BRANCHIAL SYSTEM. The branchial apparatus has five very short arches and six clefts, the arches being fringed with a double row of lamelle, with cartilaginous axial supporting filaments. The very short branchial arches seem to have been backwardly displaced, an the clefts open downward instead of laterally. The clefts lie in a pair of anteriorly divergent furrows in the floor of the pharynx. The skeletal elements of the branchial ap- paratus are probably in large part cartilaginous and imperfectly devel- oped. The branchize are covered by a soft integumentary fold, in which there are no apparent traces of branchiosteges. MYOLOGY. The muscular apparatus which actuates the jaws and hyomandibular suspensor in Gastrostomus presents one very remarkable feature in that its cross-section apparently exceeds that of the dorso-ventral lateral muscular masses of the nape. These muscles operate (1) the mandible and (2) the hyomandibular and quadrate. | The mandible is extended by a powerful extensor muscle, lying be- hind and external to the hyomandibular. (Its belly, in our largest specimen, is about as long as that of the hyomandibular—about .035™, and its filiform tendon is partially ossified, and measures .065™ in length, thus together constituting a total length of .10™.) Its origin is in the lateral cranial fosse in the pterotic, and its insertion into the angular portion of the mandible, which is turned upward and backward over the distal end of the quadrate, like the olecranon of man. This muscle may be called the extensor of the mandible, and is practically placed posteriorly to the suspensor. The other principal muscle originates anteriorly, externally and in- ternally to the articulation of the mandibular suspensor, which depends obliquely backwards from the skull, and its belly is about .05™ long and eight times the bulk of the mandibular extensor. Part of it passes down between the palatine and the suspensor internally, and its internal belly is prominent within the mouth, while its external belly is strongly marked from without, behind and below the eyes, imme- diately behind which its anterior origin from the skull begins. The dentigerous palatine is really anterior to it, but closely apposed, while a furrow in the posterior side of its belly receives the upper half of the suspensorium. Its origin largely covers the postorbital portion of the ventral face of the cranium nearly as far back as the basisphenoid and from the external ventral margin of the skull behind the eye to near the middle line. Its insertion seems to be partly into the angular portion of the mandible in front of its articulation with the quadrate and partly into the quadrate itself. Its function is to close the mandible and to divaricate and approximate the greatly elongated suspensor, which itself has a cartilaginous joint near its upper third, and enjoys a special mobility in virtue of its peculiar articulation with the cranium. 268 PROCEEDINGS OF UNITED STATES NATIONAL MUSEUM. SPLANCHNOLOGY. The viscera are arranged in the abdominal cavity in a somewhat pe- culiar manner in that the black pigmented layer of the mouth and throat is continued back over a blind, saccular prolongation of the walls of the pharynx and csophagus, the latter being so greatly widened as to scarcely be evident, except as defined by its relative position with respect to the branchiz. This peculiar arrangement has given an un- expected significance to the generic name which we have proposed: While there is no very evident csophageal constriction, Loth it and the pharyngeal part of the alimentary tract are very short, owing to the great reduction of the branchial apparatus. The thin membranous parietes of the mouth and throat are thrown into numerous longitudinal, approximated, parallel folds, in harmony with the fact that the throat and mouth are very distensible. This wrinkling of the parietes of the pharyngeal region is apparent above the gills, which evidently open internally in the ventral part of the pharynx. A darkly pigmented cecal prolongation of the throat begins just above and behind the gills, and is lined with a thick deeply plicated secretory epithelium, the whole sack extending as far back as the first half of the body cavity; at the anterior lateral portion of this pigmented sack the widest, thick-walled part of the intestine arises on the right side and extends backward uuder the dark- walled czeal pouch along the mid. dle line between the thick and symmetrically disposed liver, which lies against either side of both the dark pouch and the first portion of the intestine, and extends for about half the length of the abdominal cavity. Behind the liver the intestine becomes suddenly narrower, and has two flexures, but is not very sharply bent upon itself. The pigmented cecal part of the alimentary tract seems to be the stomach, from which it is probable that the food is passed after partial digestion to the thick-walled anterior portion of the intestine proper, lying just below it and opening into it at its anterior part. The mode in which the food is collected is probably as suggested be- fore, namely, by filling the mouth with water containing small organ- isms which are retained and left in the pharynx above the gills as the water is strained through the latter. The wrinkles in the oral and pharyngeal integument would indicate that the latter probably contains scattered muscular fibers and is itself contractile. The abdominal cavity is separated from the cardiac by a septum, in front of which there is a well-developed heart of the usual type with an atrial sinus, ventricle, and bulbus aorte. The heart lies in a very thick-walled pericardial sac. No air-bladder or rudiment of such a structure has been discovered in our specimens. The renal organs lie in the hinder part of the abdominal cavity, ex- — PROCEEDINGS OF UNITED STATES NATIONAL MUSEUM. 269 tending for half its length as a thick agglomerated mass of nephric tubules external to the peritoneum. Behind the liver, in the female, the ovary is developed on either side of the mesentery for half the length of the body cavity. It is composed of series of free slightly plicated lobes which depend into the abdomi- nal cavity on either side of the intestine. No peritoneal tunic embraces the ovarian organ, and there is no oviduct, the ova escaping from the bedy by way of a conspicuous pore immediately behind the vent. The following facts in regard to the genesis of the ova have been made out: The ova probably drop from the naked ovigerous lamella, as they rupture their follicles, into the abdominal cavity. In our spec- imen the ova were found to be immature, but were probably within a couple of weeks of the mature state, judging from their large size (.0007 meter, in diameter), so that the animal probably spawns in the autumn. No very immature or very young ova were noticed in the ovarian stroma, which would indicate that the spawning season was near athand. (The specimen was obtained September 3d.) There is probably present in the eggs when they are full grown oil, which appears to be superficially embedded in the vitellus in the ova- rian eggs which were examined. The proof that the ova studi-d by us were immature consists in the fact that there still seemed to be present a nuclear body in the center of the vitellus when the eggs were stained with safranin and the superfluous color abstracted with alcohol. What now are the deductions to be derived as to the systematic rela- tions of the Eurypharyngids? We cannot agree with M. Vaillant that they have any relations with the Anacanthini, with certain Physostomi, such as the Scopelide and Stomiatidz, and also with the Apodes, nor that they are at all approximated to the genus Malacosteus. On the con- trary, in our opinion, there are few fishes more removed from them than the Anacanthines, and the Scopelids and Stomiatids (including Malacos- teus) are also extremely divergent. It is true that the latter exhibit an analogous extension of the oral. fissure, but the little value of that char- acter is evident from the gradation of the wide-mouthed forms of their series into those having normally cleft ones. Furthermore, the exten- sion of the peristomal elements has been attained by entirely different methods in the two types. In the Scopelids and Stomiatids, the upper jaw is constituted by the hypertrophied intermaxillaries or supramax- illaries, and the palatines are conversely reduced, while in the Eurypha- ryngids the upper arcade of the mouth is constituted solely by the libera- ted and excessively elongated palatine bones, and the maxillaries are entirely wanting. It is then with the true Apodal fishes that the Eurypharyngids may be most aptly compared. In that series we find a gradation from those forms exhibiting nearly the typical Teleostean type of structure to those in which the palatine bones alone form the superior arch of the mouth 270 PROCEEDINGS OF UNITED STATES NATIONAL MUSEUM. and other elements are atrephied or entirely absent. The Murznids* are those forms exhibiting the greatest degree of degradation of the cephalic arches. But it is by no means certain yet that the Eurypharyn- gids are derived from the same primitive stock as the Murenids. On the contrary, the evidence thus far furnished by our anatomical inves- tigations lead us to believe that they are the offshoots of a primitive phylum cognate with the specialized Apodes, but far back in the phy- letic history of those diversiform (or rather diversistructural) fishes. The common characters are rather the results of teleological modification resulting from analogous conditions, or rather conditions entailing analogous structures, than of common origin. For the present, there- fore, we propose to isolate the Eurypharyngids as the representatives of a distinct order and to place that order next to the Apodes. As an ordinal name we propose Lyomeri, t by which we intend to point at the loose connection of the palatine and suspensorial elements and the iso- lation of the branchial and scapular arches from the cranium. Whether any of the other known types of fishes belong to this order is very doubtful, and, in fact, we have sufficient data respecting them to be tolerably certain that none do, unless it may be the Saccopharynx jlagellum. Saccopharynx is a very peculiar type, the representative of quite an isolated family, but its structure is almost unknown. The last systematic writer who has referred to its characters (Dr. Giinther) has described the genus as consisting of ‘‘deep-sea congers, with the mus- cular system very feebly developed, with the bones very thin, soft, and wanting in organie matter; head and gape enormous”; “maxillary and mandibulary bones very thin, slender, arched, armed with one or two series of long, slender, widely set teeth, their points being directed in- wards,” &¢.t Dr. Giinther’s “maxillary” bones are doubtless palatines, and his description is very deficient in precision, but supplemented as it is by the descriptions of Mitchill and Harwood, it is evident that the genus Saccopharyna, or family Saccopharyngide, is quite remote from the Eurypharyngide. More than this can only be surmised at most till its structural characteristics are determined.’ The question must hereafter arise whether the fishes examined by M. Vaillant and ourselves are the same or really distinct generic types. Little value is to be attached to the relative extension (within the limits observed) of the jaws, but the proportions of the cranium (if con- firmed) would indicate that the two forms exhibit marked differences, and our respect for the eminent French naturalist will not permit us to * Weunderstand by the term ‘‘ Murenids” the natural family represented by Murana and closely related genera only, and not the heterogenous medley called the “ family Murenide” by Dr. Giinther.

EURYPHARYNX PELECANOIDES. Eurypharynx pelecanoides Vaillant. GASTROSTOMUS. Gastrostomus Gill & Ryder. Eurypharyngids with the cranium abbreviated and little or no longer than broad, the dentigerous bones almost seven times as long as the cranium; minute acute conic teeth depressed inwards in a very narrow band on the jaws (no enlarged teeth at the extremity of the mandible), and the tail with an eradiate membrane under its terminal portion. GASTROSTOMUS BAIRDII. Gastrostomus bairdii Gill & Ryder. The cranium forms about one-thirtieth or less of the extreme length, and is as broad as long; the jaws are excessively elongated, being nearly (in large) or more (in young) than seven times longer than the cranium; there are about 160 rays in the dorsal fin and about 107 in the anal; the pectorals are very small, being only about as long as the diameter of the eye, and little more than twice as long as wide at the base, and have about nine simple rays. The rays of the unpaired fins are quite flexible in the small individuals, but quite rigid and more perfectly ossified in the larger; they become obsolete toward the end of the tail. The rays, which are rigid and well ossified anteriorly, become shorter, * «This animal, about 0.47 metre long and 0.02 metre high at the most elevated part, is of an intense deep black color. The body, the form of which is masked in front by the abnormal mouth, which will be mentioned further on, resembles that of Macrurus; it becomes regularly attenuated from about the anterior fourth, the point at which the external branchial orifice is seen, and terminates in a point at the caudal extremity ; the anus issituated at the junction of the anterior third with the posterior two-thirds of the body. “What gives this fish a very peculiar physiognomy is the arrangement of the jaws and the structure of the mouth, which are even an exaggeration of what Mr. Ayres has described in Malacosteus niger. Although the head is short, scarcely 0.03 metre, the jaws and the suspensorium are excessively elongated ; the latter did not measure iess than 0.095 metre ; and from this it results that the articular angle is carried very far back, to a distance from the end of the muzzle equal to about three and a half times the length of the cephalic portion.” t‘*On both jaws one can feel faint dentary granulations; at the extremity of the mandible there are two hooked teeth 0.002 metre long.” 272 PROCEEDINGS OF UNITED STATES NATIONAL MUSEUM. very slender, and flexible—in fact almost as limp as threads near the end of the tail.

A large series of specimens collected at Fuji and elsewhere, together with two forms of young birds, induce me to reinstate the name of can- tillans, ignored of late by ornithologists, for the smaller species. I do not distinguish any difference of color, but there is a very great differ- ence in size, especially in the comparative length of the wing and tarsus. C. cantans measures: tarsus, 24.5™ to 25.5™™, and wing 63™™ to 65™™, while cantillans is 22™™ to 22.5 ™™ in the tarsus, and wing 55™™. This difference in size cannot be attributable to sex or season. I have a female of cantans measuring 9.5™™" more in the wing than adult male of cantillans. There is a marked difference in the young #f the two species, cantans, young, being 25™, cantillans 22™, in the tarsus; and 56™™ against 50™™ in the wing.

A nest which contained seven young birds was taken from an old bamboo pipe which stood in the yard of our inn at Subashiri. Young birds in the first plumage differ from the adults in having the entire upper parts, with the exception of the white spot in the nape of the neck, dull olive green; crown slightly darker. Sides of the face, breast, and flanks pale yellowish. Throat and middle of the belly like the back. The cheek patches are not separated from the color of the breast, as in the adult.

This bird, commonly seen in cages all over the country, was rather rare at Fuji, and was only seen late in the season at Tate- Yama. It is found in the pines with other species of tits, but is generally soli- tary or in pairs. Its note resembles that of the little woodpecker.

Common in the summer near the peaks of the high mountains; breed- ing at Fuji. Found about brush-heaps and near streams in the lowlands from about the middle of November. I could not distinguish any difference between the habits of this bird and our own familiar winter wren. It has the same low, delicious, warbling song common to both species. 288 PROCEEDINGS OF UNITED STATES NATIONAL MUSEUM. List of specimens. eBetoal se oa Sex. | Locality. Date.

Nest on the ground, composed of moss and dried grass, very slightly lined with finer grasses and rootlets. The eggs vary much in size and shape, ranging from 19™™ to 21™” in length, and average 10™™ in breadth. The ground color is lilaceous; the entire surface is speckled all over with sepia, the spots becoming confluent on the larger end. Young of the year resemble the adult, but are duller on the upper parts and all the markings are finer. Wing coverts with buffy edgings; flanks and under tail coverts washed with ochraceous.

These birds are familiar objects flying through the streets and darting into the native houses through open doors. Almost every house in a Japanese town has one or more little wooden shelves, placed just inside the door on one of the rafters of the ceiling, on which the swallows build their nests and rear their young. Nor is their confidence mis- placed; they are as sacred on their shelf as any of the household gods, an offer of money for which is considered an insult. I believe these swallows rarely build elsewhere than in the situations I have described. List of specimens. 1 | Original | Museum ain bed nin Dore es | Locality. Date. Remarks. 472 Soa eeaee | 9 juv.

We found these birds breeding in considerable numbers on the sides of an inaccessible cliff or chasm on Fuji-Yama above the limit of forest growth. Their nests must have been composed largely of saliva, as there is no mud in that voleanic region. Many of the birds, when shot, had their mouths full of fine scoria dust, of which they were evidently making their nests. .

Blakiston and Pryer, Trans. As. Soc. Japan, Vol. X, Pt. I, 1882, p. 147. A specimen which is identical with the one mentioned in Blakiston and Pryer’s list was shot at Fuji. It has the form of superciliosus, but is a very distinct species. The head is pure ashy gray, extending down to the shoulders; the wing-coverts, back, and rump are a rich chestnut, closely barred with dusky wavy lines. Ear-coverts black. A narrow black line extends from the eye to the base of the bill. Nasal feathers white. A super- ciliary and pest-ocular white line. Entire under parts pure white; flanks barred with dusky.

I, 1882, p. 176; Seebohm, Ibis, 1882, p. 371, as rosacea. I first saw these birds high up Fuji, at an elevation of between 3,000 and 4,000 feet. Young birds were very common in the treetops at Chiusenji Lake in latter part of August, seeming to keep entirely in the birch trees. A large series of specimens in various stages of plumage, collected in Shinshiu, induce me to believe that Seebohwm’s species rosacea is simply a highly-developed stage of plumage of orientalis. Looking over the collection I find I have five adult males. The first is typical orientalis; cheek-patches and throat rose color, breast clear ashy gray, back slightly darker. In the second the color of the throat is not clearly defined against the gray breast, the rose color runs down to a point in front, and there are rosy feathers scattered over the breast; in the third the rose has become a decided tint all over the breast, and in the fourth this color is still deeper on the breast, and has made its ap- pearance on theback; butin the fifth specimen the rosaceous phase is very well developed. There is no line of demarkation between the cheeks and the breast. The rose color, or ‘vermillion,” as Seebohm ealls it, extends all over the breast, down to the flanks. The back is also strongly suffused with the same color. I judge that this specimen is even brighter or more rosaceous than the ones Mr. Seebohm describes, but with sucha series before me as I have just described, I must draw the conclusion that rosacea is simply a phase of plumage of orientalis. Captain Blak- iston agrees with me in the conclusions arrived at in regard to this species. This phase of plumage is by no means rare in Shinshiu. A fair propor- tion of all the males I saw had the flush of breast and back of rosacea. Both plumages are figured in the “‘ Fauna Japonica.” Young birds of the year: upper parts dirty olive-brown, darker on the head, rump white; below brownish, lighter in tint than the back. Wings and tail asin theadult. Billsmoky brown; feet brownish. The chin is black in some specimens. 294 PROCEEDINGS OF UNITED STATES NATIONAL MUSEUM. List of specimens. | Ua nee Sex. Locality. Date.

Crossbills were exceedingly plentiful in Shinshiu from about the middle of October. We were informed by the natives that they made their appearance in considerable numbers about every third year. At such times many people are employed catching them, and a consider- able number are destroyed. The site for a bird-catcher of this descrip- tion is on the summit of a hill, where there are a few trees, generally firs or pines. Selecting a suitable tree in which to hang his cages of decoy birds, he proceeds to make a broom-like arrangement of fir branches by wrapping them on the end of a long pole; into this he thrusts a few slender twigs, which have been coated with bird-lime. Resting the pole against the tree, and allowing the limed twigs to project through the top, he lies in wait at a suitable distance off, quietly smoking his pipe, until some passing flocks of siskins or crossbills are attracted by the singing of the birds in the cages and alight on the twigs. Taking the old twigs out, with the birds fluttering and struggling on them, ‘he puts new ones in their places and is ready for the next flock. Some specimens, males, are curiously mottled with red, green, and orange, and some females have a decided reddish tinge to the feathers. 296 PROCEEDINGS OF UNITED STATES NATIONAL MUSEUM.

I did not see these birds alive, either in the mountains or elsewhere, in Japan, but on returning from Tate-Yama, late in December, there were immense strings of them in the bird-shops near Matsumoto. In_ two small shops there were at least three hundred specimens, all more or less decomposed. I managed to secure a few for identification. We were informed that they had all been netted, and most of them had been taken at one time. These birds compare very well with Yezo specimens taken in Feb- ruary. Kurile Island birds (summer) are much darker, and have black bills. List of specimens. os | | | edema | aeoun Sex.

NotE.—We saw the large black and white kingfisher, Ceryle guttata, at Tate-Yama up to the time we left, the latter part of December, and were told that they remained all winter. It is found in the wildest mountain streams and gorges, and is exceedingly wary. We did not succeed in getting specimens. List of specimens. | Original | | Museum lite | number.

Two specimens of this bird were obtained in Shinshiu. They had been caught in nets. This is the only species of owl that we succeeded in collecting. Con- sidering. the nature of the country we were in, the variety of owls was indeed remarkable. In the deep woods above Chiusenji Lake I saw a very light colored specimen of Syrnium rufescens. I was attracted by the noisy chattering of a flock of jays, and on approaching saw a large owl sitting on a burnt stump. In the gloom of the forest I at first took it to be a snowy owl. The jays were flying around him, screeching and jawing in noisy excitement, and every now and then one would fly at him. I was un- able to approach near enough to get a shot on account of the denseness of the underbrush. While I stood watching this bloodless battle he quietly flew off with his tormentors following him.

A fine series, comprising male, female, and young, were obtained in October and November. At this season, when they are migrating, large numbers are taken by the natives in nets and also with bird-lime. They are very plucky in the pursuit of game, often attacking birds almost as large and strong as themselves. On such occasions they pay little heed to an observer. I bave seen one of these birds in hot pur- suit of a large woodpecker (P. japonicus), which only escaped through the friendly shelter of a large pine. The average measurement of the wing in nine adult males is 168™™ (162™™" to 173™™), and the tarsus 48™™ (46™™ to 49™™). Young males average in the wing 166™™ (161™™ to 171™™), and tarsus 48™m (46™™ to 49™™), The adult female measures 193™™ in the wing, and 52™™ in the tarsus. Young females average in the wing 189™™ (154™™ to 194™"), and tarsus 50™™ (50™™ to 52™™).

We obtained green pheasants at all the localities in which we col- lected, but did not find them abundant anywhere. Habitat.—Cedar Keys, on mud flats; very rare. Iam not sure that — Iam right in referring this species to Parthenia. It appears like a white reticulately sculptured Turbonilla, with a faint plait. Turbonilla viridaria n. s. Shell slender, yellowish waxen, with red-brown spiral lines and base; sixteen whorls, with about (on the last whorl) twenty-five transverse riblets; base scored with fine spiral grooves, otherwise smooth; aper- ture squarish, rounded in front ; nucleus smooth, sinistral, blunt; trans- verse ribs extending from suture to suture, slightly oblique, nearly continuous along the spire, the line from base to nucleus making about half a volution, in a posterior sense; whorls flattened, making the out- line of the spine nearly a true conic section; suture distinct; riblets rounded, smooth, subequal frem end to end; spiral grooves appear sharply and distinctly cut, running (apparently) under the ribs, with red or brown color in the grooves, as if rubbed in; there are three or four from the suture forward, then a distinctly wider interspace, then two more to the suture, or about five to the ends of the ribs on the last whorl, which little more than pass the periphery; base smooth, red- brown, with distinct spiral grooves, more crowded toward the axis; whole shell neatly polished, with a tendency to weather ashy or white. Lon. of shell, 11.0; of last whorl, 2.25; max. lat. of shell, 2.25™™, Habitat.—Cedar Keys, among the sea grass on the mud flats; notrare. This is nearest 7. rathbunit Verrill, which has twelve whorls to a length of 13.0 and a width of 4.0™™. Turbonilla (viridaria var.?) virgan.s.? Shell resembling the last, but slenderer and more drawn out, much smaller, with a larger and narrower aperture, and with more regular spiral grooves, which are not colored, and fewer ribs. Whorls seven, with about fifteen transverse ribs, larger and carried farther over the periphery than in the preceding species; a tinge of claret color on the pillar, elsewhere greenish, translucent. Lat. of shell, 1.0; lon. of shell, 3.1; of last whorl, 1.5™™. Habitat.—Cedar Keys with the last species. This was sent by Mr. Hemphill as the young of the preceding, but differs from specimens of its own size in having one whorl less in the same length and in having the grooves without color and evenly distributed, and in other features as above. It is probably distinct, but I prefer to leave it as a variety for the present. ~ Turbonilla (viridaria var.?) punicea n.s.? Shell resembling viridaria but smaller, with thirteen whorls; color whit- ish at the tip, gradually becoming more and more tinted with a clear sd PROCEEDINGS OF UNITED STATES NATIONAL MUSEUM. 333 «laret brown, the last whorl being the darkest; riblets fainter, less pro- dluced) anteriorly, last whorl with hardly any ribs; spiral seulpture finer and closer and lines much more numerous than in that species; they are also uncolored; the whorls are more rounded and there are about eighteen instead of twenty-five ribs, which do not reach so far forward. Max. lat. of shell, 1.67; lon. of shell, 8.0; of last whorl, 1.75™™. Habitat.—Cedar Keys; with the last. This species at first sight ap- pears extremely distinct from viridaria, but a careful examination with a lens shows that the differences are chiefly in color and strength of sculpture. However, it seems well entitled to a varietal name, and may on further examination prove to be distinct. These Turbonillas are a very puzzling group, with few good charac- ters for diagnosis, but the above appear distinct from any ascribed to the West Indies or the eastern coast of the United States. Scalaria angulata Say. Sarasota Bay, on the sand between tides, not common. Scalaria lineata Say. Cedar Keys, on the mud flats, rare. Cerithium ferrugineum Say. Sarasota Bay and Key West, abundant on the mud flats between tides. Cerithium muscarum Say. Sarasota Bay, mud flats between tides, abundant. This is one of the most lovely shells of the genus. Cerithium septemstriatum Say. Key West, between tides, common. Cerithium nigrescens Menke. Sarasota Bay, between tides. One of the most abundant shells of the region. Cerithium thomasiz Sby. Key West, on the mud flats, scarce. A common Antillean species. Cerithiopsis terebralis A@fams.

Also over the whole eastern coast of the United States. Cerithiopsis emersonii C. B. Adams. Cedar Keys, very large and fine. ‘Cerithiopsis tuberculata Mont. Key West, reefs at low water, not very common. Triforis nigrocinctus Adams. Cedar Keys, on “coon oysters,” rare; Key West, reefs at low water, rare. The metropolis of this species is farther north. 334 PROCEEDINGS OF UNITED STATES NATIONAL MUSEUM. Bittium nigrum Totten. Tampa, abundant on “coon oysters;” Cedar Keys, abundant on the mud flats.

Cedar Keys, near high-water mark. Melvill reports * C@. crassilabrum Ad.” from Cedar Keys, which is probably this species, and a “ C. costata Wood,” which may be one of the others; neither name appears to be known to other authors in connec- tion with the fauna of the southern coast or the West Indies. Cerithidea turrita Stearns. Key West, in the salt ponds, rather rare; all the specimens are some- what distorted, perhaps from excess of salt. Cerithidea tenuis Pit. Mouth of the Manatee River, abundant, but mostly immature. A good series should be compared with the preceding species. Vermetus lumbricalis L., var. nigricans. Sarasota Bay, in masses near high water. All the figures of lumbri- calis seem to represent something quite different from the small, black, gregarious Vermetus of our Florida coast, which almost makes reefs with its solidly aggregated masses whose interstices rapidly fill with other solid matter. For this extremely familiar form the varietal term of nigricans is therefore proposed until a careful study of the group shalk determine what the typical lumbricalis really is. Rissoina Qubiosa C. B. Adams. Key West, plenty on the reefs at low water. Rissoina pulchra C. B. Adams. Key West, rare in the same localities as R. dubtiosa. Rissoina chesneli Mich. Cedar Keys, plenty on the mud flats. The above are all common to the West Indies. Bythinella obtusa Lea. Key West, in the salt ponds, rare; also in the creek at Jacksonville. Lea’s species was erroneously attributed to Ohio, and hence has net since been recognized, but the specimens agree well with his figure and description, and it is probable that his correspondent’s labels got mixed.

PROCEEDINGS OF UNITED STATES NATIONAL MUSEUM. 421 As I have not seen Von Schrenck’s original account, I do not feel sat- isfied that he positively intended to affirm that the roots of the second premolars are bifurcate, although he is so interpreted by Allen.* From my examination of the skulls at hand I should be inclined to doubt that they are ever so. The form of the roots of the first true molar is such as to afford strong ground for a difference of opinion. There is invariably a longitudinal groove along the root, but the tip of the latter may or may not be sufficiently cleft to admit of the use of the term bifurcate. The posterior accessory cusps are apparent in the supe- rior true molars, but almost or quite disappear from the premolars. The anterior accessory cusps are wanting superiorly. In the lower jaw both accessory cusps are traceable in all the grinding teeth, but are strongest in the true molars. The crowns of the premolars are considerably di- rected backward ; the true molars less so or not at all, although they bear that appearance when worn. The molars are so placed in the ma- jority of specimens of both Histriophoca fasciata and Phoca vitulina that they rub against each other. This results in the obliteration of the an- terior accessory cusps of the superior molars when the teeth are worn. The skeleton; vertebral characters.—The vertebral formula is as fol- lows: 0. 7; D. 15; L. 5; 8S. 3; Ca, 14=44. The atlas is low and broad, with wide transverse processes. The axis is high, with a large and long odontoid process. The superior border of its neural spine is parallel with the long axis of the centrum. In Pusa it forms an angle of about 45° with that axis. All the processes of the remaining cervi- cal vertebre are short and stout. The low neural spines of the dorsal and lumbar vertebre are subequal in height, but increase in breadth (in the anteroposterior direction) from the first backward. They are lowest at about the middle of the series. They do not bend backward so strongly as in Pusa. The hypapophysis becomes apparent in the thirteenth dorsal, and increases in size posteriorly, becoming strongest ° in the second lumbar. The transverse processes of the lumbar verte- bree increase slightly in length posteriorly and are subequal in breadth. Only the first two caudals have complete neural arches. The last twelve decrease in size very gradually posteriorly. The ribs and sternum.—The first rib is very broad and short, but less so than in Pusa. The first thirteen have articular facets, but that of the twelfth is rudimentary, and does not reach the centrum. Nine are connected with the sternum, the first at the base of the first of the sternebre. In Pusa ten ribs reach thesternum. The sternum consists of nine sternebre, the posterior, or ninth, nearly two and a half times the length of any of the others. The first is the smallest, somewhat conical, with the apex directed forward and compressed laterally; the others, except the ninth, are subequal. The scapula and pelvis.—The scapula is falciform, being prolonged *ALLEN, North American Pinnideds, 1880, p. 675. 422 PROCEEDINGS OF UNITED STATES NATIONAL MUSEUM. posteriorly, and is broader than high. The length is to the breadth as 1 to 1.37. The pre-spinous region is broad inferiorly. The spine is prominent and thin, and is abruptly truncated inferiorly. * The coronoid process is rudimentary. The pelvis is long and narrow, being about three times as long as broad at the widest part. The crest of the ileum is turned abruptly outward, forming a deep and large cup-shaped fossa. This is consider- ably larger thanin Pusa. The obturator foramen is elliptical and small, while the region of the pubic symphysis is long and broad. The fore and hind legs.—Both great and lesser tuberosities of the humerus are very. strongly developed. The olecranon of the ulna is large, hamular, and broad in the anteroposterior diree- tion, with a large mammiform process externally. It is entirely distinct from the radius. The lat- ter is remarkably broad and flat at the inferior extremity. The bones of the carpus are very unequal in size; the magnum is very small; the cuneiform is large, and so placed as to exelude articulation between the unciform and pisiform, while it articulates with the fifth metacarpal. The digits decrease in size gradually from the first to the fifth. The femur is short and broad, ’ the great trochanter well developed and quad- rate. The tibia and fibula are anchylosed at the proximal extremity. The proportion of the length of the femur to that of the tibiais as1 to i 2.28. All the fosse are large and deep. Pelvis of iisiesanaen Pavstile In the tarsus the meso-cuneiform is the smallest No. 13285. bone. Thecuboid articulates about equally with the calcis and the astragalus. The digits are of unequal size; they de- crease in length in the following order: First, fifth, second, fourth, third. The proportion of the length of the femur to that of the pes is as 1 to 3.06. The proportion of the length of the femur to that of the whole limb is as 1 to 6.38. The proportion of the length of the pes to that of the whole limb is as 1 to 1.92. It thus appears that the feet are large. The pelvisand tibia are of exactly equal length. * Since the division of the inferior portions of the scapular spine into acromion and metacromion, by Mivart and other anatomists, it becomes somewhat difficult to ascer- tain whether one or both of the parts so called are present or absent. If the inferior termination of the scapular spine, however formed, is to be termed the acromion, then no scapulie can be said to lack the latter except those in which its entire upper margin describes a more or less uniform curve. In my preliminary diagnosis (Amer. Nat., xvii, 1883, 798) I stated that the scapular spine is without acromion. I still believe that this is a true statement, but not as generally understood. .

Baird. ] The numerous specimens of jade or jadeite implements obtained by myself and others from the Alaskan Innuits have been secured mainly between the head of Norton Sound, in Bering Sea, and Point Barrow, on the Arctic coast. They are found most abundantly among the peo- ple inhabiting the lower courses of the large streams flowing into Kotze- bue Sound. Owing to the hostile character of the natives and for other reasons I never penetrated this region, but met and interrogated num- wR PROCEEDINGS OF UNITED STATES NATIONAL MUSEUM. 427 erous intelligent Innuits who lived in that district, and from whom I bought various jade articles. These people all agreed in the statement that the jade occurs on the side of a steep hill or mountain slope de- ‘scending to one of the rivers, and each described its occurrence only along what appeared from their descriptions to be a well-marked vein, or perhaps a dike, extending from the water to the crest of the hill. Jade celts also occur among the Indians of the Yukon about Nulato. ‘They claim that the rough material is found upon the side of a mountain about 25 miles from Nulato. This is the same range in which the pre- vious locality is situated. The Point Barrow Innuits hunt reindeer and mountain sheep along the northern border of these mountains, and un- doubtedly obtain their crude material there. The same material is found in the mountains on the western part of the Kaviak Peninsula near Bering Strait. The Innuits of that district know it well and have many implements made from it. All I questioned as to the local- ity of this stone pointed to the mountains in the immediate vicinity. From Norton Sound south along the Alaskan coast to the vicinity of Bristol Bay this stone is almost or quite unknown among the Innuits, as I found when traveling among them; but the fine specimens recently received from Mr. McKay, at Bristol Bay, show conclusively that there must be another locality in that district where jade occurs in place. That small water-worn fragments are very frequently used by the na- tives for celts, &c.,is undoubtedly true, but that these fragments come from some point where the stone occurs as a part or whole of a vein is at least very probable, as shown by the Innuit description of the Kotzebue Sound locality. The Innuits call it a “ fire-stone,” and say it was made in a very hot fire when some of the volcanic cones of their mountains were in a state of eruption. On the Siberian shore of Bering Strait: only a very few jade fragments were seen by me, and their owners all claimed to have obtained them on the American side. GLORIETA, NEW MEXxIco, July 29, 1883. ON THE ORIGIN OF THE FOSSIL BONES DISCOVERED IN THE VICINITY OF TISE’S FORD, FLORIDA. By Ss. T. WALKER. [Letter to Prof. Spencer F. Baird. ] The day after I wrote to you from Fort Ogden, on Peace Creek, I pro- cured a small skiff, and the services of two strong negroes to row it, and proceeded up the riverin search of Tise’s Ford, which Iwas informed was 17 miles by the river and 8 miles by land. The rainy season hay- ing set in, the river was slightly swollen, and rising, which produced a cousiderable current increasing in strength as we ascended until rowing became quite a labor. The shores of the river were bold for 428 PROCEEDINGS OF UNITED STATES NATIONAL MUSEUM. this region, and were clothed with a magnificent growth of cypress, oak, and hickory trees, though at all points examined by me the high shores sloped rapidly away to low, wet swamps. About 7 miles (by the river) above Fort Ogden I met the first indications of fossil bones. On a low point, where the river makes a sudden bend, lay a small bed of gravel interspersed with innumerable fragments of bones, bits of turtle shell, &c., still retaining their bony structure, and in no way changed or petrified. From this point onward every sand-bar had its bed of gravel with similar fragments of bone, bits of deer’s horns, and turtle shell. Each successive sand-bar held large pieces, and I vainly examined bluffs for some indication of the fossils insitu. Shark’s teeth (quitesmall) — with the enamel unbroken were quite plentiful. The bluffs were com- posed of white or yellow sand, overlying patches of grayish clay, soft sandstone rocks, or very soft limestone. The sand only was continu- ous, the clay and soft rocks cropping out here and there. As we as- cended the stream narrowed and the cur ent was so swift that we could not make more than a mile and ahalf an hour. There being no houses on the river, excepting at the ferries, we could make no inquiries. At the first ferry, 3 miles above Fort Ogden, they had never heard of Tise’s Ford. At thesecond, the ferryman informed us that thereare two fords — of that name, one 8 miles above and the other 4 miles below; that bones could be found on all the bars and along the shores almost anywhere, but that they were more plentiful at Gardner’s Bluffs, 5 miles above, and at Tise’s Ford, 4 miles below, thananywhereelse. The river seeming to have very little current above this ferry, I determined to push on to the upper ford. It was now 5 o’clock in the afternoon and my crew showed signs of rebellion, but finally agreed to pull to Gardner’s Bluffs, which we reached about sundown. Here I found a bed of gravel 10 inches thick, which seemed to extend under the bluff. The gravel and fragments of bone — seemed to be very slightly waterworn, their angles in many instances appearing quite sharp. At this place a small stream emptied into the river. Between the river and the brook the banks were 10 feet high, and | had thesatisfaction of finding that the stratum of gravel extended quite through to the little brook. Here my men positively refused to- proceed, so I determined to leave them and proceed alone, as the mos- quitoes gave little to be hoped for in the way of sleep during the night. I ordered them to dig in the bluff the next day, and to save all objects of interest they might find, and taking the boat I began the ascent alone. I pulled steadily until 2 o’clock, when, overcome with fatigue, I lay down in the boat and fought the mosquitoes until day. The next morning I dropped down the river leisurely, examining every sand-bar and bluff, and following several small streams half a mile up on foot, without finding the mysterious source of this bone supply. When I got back I found my men digging like heroes, each of them having his” pockets stuffed with lumps of iron pyrites, which they fondly imagined to be gold. I kept my counsel for the present, and suffered the rebels — PROCEEDINGS OF UNITED STATES NATIONAL MUSEUM. 429 to dig until I found there was no prospect of unearthing a complete bone, much less a skeleton, when I stopped them and began the return, which was rapid and easy. On reaching Tise’s Ford I made a thorough examination of that locality. In a cut-off or old river-bed I found a vast number of fragments of huge bones, but none entire except one small vertebra, which I send you. My opinion is that the bones are washed up from the bottom of the river during high water, as I failed to find the slightest evidence of any fossils in the clays. The bed of gravel at Gardner’s Bluffs I think was deposited in ancient times by the river. lam induced to think thus because at Fort Meade and other places above they dig up sharks’ teeth, turtles, and bones in wells at the depth of 18 and 20 feet.

Professor Swallow’s species was never figured; and this form is doubtfully identified by means of his description. (Museum No. 9142.) SOLENIsCcUS? (MACROCHEILUS) PRIMIGENIUS Conrad. Fic. 3.—Lateral view of a damaged example from Illinois, showing the thickened columella, but only a slight trace of a fold. (Museum No. 747.) SOLENIscUS (MACROCHEILUS) FUSIFORMIS Hall. ¢ Fias. 4,5, 6.—Different viewsof two examples from Ilinois, showing some variation in the outward form of the shell, and also the character of the columella. Fig. 5 shows the character of the inner lip at mature growth; and Fig. 6 shows the columella with its fold and broad groove after a portionof the last volution has been removed. SOLENISCUS (MACROCHEILUS) NEWBERRYI Hall. Fias. 7, 8.—Opposite views of an example from Illinois, showing the outward form, the accumulation of callus upon theinner lip, and the columellar fold and broad groove. SOLENISCUS PLANUS White. Fics. 9, 10.—Opposite views of an example from Illinois, showing the outward form, and the columella with its fold and groove. This form is possibly identical with the Macrocheilus Newberry of Hall; but it seems to be different. SOLENISCUS (MACROCHEILUS) VENTRICOSUS Hall. Fias. 11,12.—Lateral views of two Illinois examples. Fig. 11 represents an apertura] view of a nearly perfect shell; and Fig. 12, another shell from which a large part of the last volution has been removed, to show the columella with fold and groove. (Museum Nos. 9372 and 12210.) SOLENISCUS (MACROCHEILUS) TEXANUS Shumard. Fics. 13, 14.—Opposite views, showing the outward form of theshell, and the character of the columella with its fold and groove. Dr. Shumard’s species was never figured, and this form from the Coal Measures of Illinois has been doubtfully identified by means of his description. SOLENISCUS ? (MACROCHEILUS) MEDIALIS Meek & Worthen. Figs. 15, 16.—Opposite views of an example from Indiana, showing the outward form and the colu- mella, which bears only a slight trace of a fold. SOLENISCUS (MACROCHEILUS) PALUDINZFORMIS Hall. Fig. 17.—Lateral view of an example from Indiana, with a part of the last volution removed, showing the columellar fold and broad groove. SOLENISCUS TYPICUS Meek & Worthen. Fics. 18, 19.—Copies of Meek & Worthen’s figures of their type-specimen. - All figures on this plate are natural size. * This plate is also to appear in the annual report of the Indiana State Geological Survey ; and the use of a part of the examples here figured has been courteously loaned for the purpose by Prof. John Collett, State Geologist. +The name Macrocheilus fusiformis was preoccupied by Sowerby. Professor Hall’s species belongs to the group which I refer to Soleniscus. If this view is accepted, and Sowerby’s species also belongs to that group, the name of the American species must be changed. 546 ~ / Proceedings Nat. Mus., Vol. VI, 1883. : PLATE VIII.
