PREFATORY NOTE.

THE following notes on Crayfishes were made during an examination of


all the Crayfishes that have been received at the United States National Museum
and the Museum of Comparative Zoology since my last paper on these animals
was published in the Proceedings of the United States National Museum, Feb. 7,
1898, 20, p. 643-694, pi. 62-70. I am deeply indebted to the authorities of the
National Museum for sending to me the vast amount of material that has come
to Washington since my last review of the subject. I am also indebted to Mr.
W. P. Hay of Washington, Prof. S. E. Meek of the Field Museum of Natural
History, Chicago, 111., and Dr. A. E. Ortmann of the Carnegie Museum, Pitts-
burgh, Pa., for the loan of specimens.
NOTES ON THE CRAYFISHES.

AsTAcopsis AUSTRALASiENSis (Milne Edwards).


Aslacus auslralasiensis M. EDW., Hist. Nat. Crustac6s, 1837, 2, p. 332, pi. 24, f. 1-5.

There are two cotypes of this species in the Museum of -Natural History
in Paris. One of these, a female, has been kindly loaned to me by Prof. E. L.
Bouvier. The rostrum of this specimen is long-triangular, excavated, the
acumen provided with an upturned, blunt, apical denticle and a similar denticle
on each side; behind the lateral denticles the margins of the rostrum are obscurely
crenate. The post-orbital ridges terminate anteriorly in a blunt tubercle;
they are channelled throughout their length and are followed by two obsolescent
tubercles at a little lower level on the gastric region; the hepatic area also is
tuberculated and a few less prominent tubercles are visible on the posterior
margin of the cervical groove on each side of the carapace. The areola is broad,
narrowing from before backward, punctate. Branchial regions obsoletely squa-
mose. Abdomen rather smooth, with a submarginal row of small tubercles on
the pleura of the second somite; pleura rounded. Spine on dorsal face of inner
branch of posterior abdominal appendages submarginal. Antennal scale of
moderate width, flanked with a sharp denticle on the outer side at the base.
Anterior process of the epistome triangular, with convex sides, ending anteriorly
in an attenuated angle. Chelipeds nearly symmetrical, meros armed below
with spines biserially disposed, upper margin thereof also furnished with a few
(three or four) spinules; upper margin of carpus armed with two prominent
spines, the distal the larger; outer face furrowed longitudinally, slightly tubercu-
late along the upper edge of the furrow; inner face of the carpus somewhat
tuberculate and armed with one spine in the middle of the distal border. Propo-
dite distinctly carinate on the upper border, less distinctly so on its lower border;
the superior crest is cut into five teeth, the lower margin is denticulate; the outer
face of the propodite is thickly covered with depressed tubercles. Dactylus
furnished with one denticle near the proximal end of the upper border. Length,
63 mm.; length of carapace, 30.5 mm.; breadth of carapace, 13 mm.; length of
areola, 9 mm.; breadth of areola at anterior end, 6 mm., at posterior end, 4.5
mm.; length of chela, 20 mm.; breadth of chela, 10 mm.; length of dactylus,
11.5 mm.

352 CRAYFISHES.

I doubt if this is the specimen figured by Milne Edwards: he gives as the


length of the body, two inches; the figure, which is said to be life size, is 56 mm.
long.
Dr. Giuseppe Nobili ^ also has examined the same cotype belonging to the
Paris Museum and is convinced that it belongs to the same species as a male
specimen, 66 mm. long, in the Museum of Natural History of Genoa, said to
have been collected by D'Albertis in 1872 on the little island of Sorong in the
Strait of Galevo, northwestern coast of New Guinea. Perhaps a misplacement of
labels has occurred in this case; the extraordinary distribution of this species
implied by the nominal locality label accompanying the Genoa specimen, as well
as the nature of the islet of Sorong, make it probable that the specimen was in
reality secured at Sydney, Australia, where D'Albertis collected in 1873.
Astacopsis australasiensis may turn out to be nothing but an immature
stage of A. spinifera.

ASTACONEPHEOPS ALBEETISII Nobili.

Astaconephrops albertisii NOBILI, Annali Mus. Civ. Storia Nat. Geneva, 1899, 40, p. 244; Bolletino dei
Musei di Zoologia ed Anatomia Comparata di Torino, June 9, 1903, 18, p. 1.

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

branchial formula is the same as in the genus Cheraps, and essentially the same
as in Paranephrops; but according to Nobili the podobranchiae of the eighth
and ninth somites are not furnished with an ala or lamina in the genus Astacone-
phrops, whereas in the genus Cheraps these podobranchiae are alate.

PARASTACUS ARAUCANIUS, sp. nov.

Plate 4.

Male:— Cephalothorax shorter than the abdomen, strongly compressed


laterally, mostly smooth, minutely granulated on the sides; areola broad (about
two thirds as broad as long), minutely punctated; rostrum short, not reaching
the distal end of the second antennulary segment, margins elevated, slightly
convergent from base to near the tip, where they abruptly converge to form the
abbreviated acumen; the infero-lateral edges of the rostrum are visible from
above, forming the superior border of the orbit separated from the supero-lateral
edge of the rostrum by a groove; distal half of the rostrum concave above;
antero-lateral margins of the carapace produced into a prominent, rounded
angle below the small eye which lies in a deep and uncommonly complete orbit.
Post-orbital ridges, obsolete. The pleural angles of the abdomen are rounded,
the telson long with a pair of lateral spines and a longitudinal median furrow on
its upper face along its distal half; the median rib on the upper side of the inner
branch of the last pair of abdominal appendages ends in a small spine situate
a little distance from the margin. Antennal scale short and broad. The
chelipeds are asymmetrical, the right one being the larger; the meros is tuber-
culated on its lower face, granulate on the superior margin, but destitute of
spines; the surface of the carpus is lightly squamoso-granulate, the granulations
becoming more pronounced on the supero-interior edge where they take the form
of blunt tubercles; the chela, too, is lightly squamoso-granulate, without any
prominent spine or tubercle, except one blunt tubercle or tooth near the base of
the immovable finger; the superior and inferior borders are rounded.
Dimensions. Length, 42 mm.; length of cephalothorax, 19 mm.; length
of areola, 6 mm., breadth of areola, 4 mm.; length of larger claw, 15.5 mm.,
breadth of do., 7 mm., length of dactylus, 8.5 mm.

M. C. Z., No. 7,355.
This species is related to P. nicoleti (Phil.) and P. hassleri Fax. Like these it
has a strongly compressed cephalothorax, indicating a burrow-dwelling species.
354 CRAYFISHES.

It differs from both of these species in its short and broad areola. Compared
with P. nicoleti, it differs in the lack of sculpture of the chela and carpus. Com-
pared with P. hassleri, the rostrum is shorter, broader, and more abruptly trun-
cate, the chela is rounded above and below and unprovided with the crest-like
series of low, squamous tubercles.
Six species of Parastacus have been previously described from Chile, viz.:—
P. chilensis (M. Edw.) in 1837, P. spinifrons (Philippi) in 1882, P. nicoleti (Phi-
lippi) in 1882, P. bimaculatus (Philippi) in 1894, P . agassizii Fax. in 1898, and P.
hassleri Fax. in 1898. The type of P. chilensis, a single dry specimen, is in the
Museum d'Histoire Naturelle in Paris, and should be more fully described,
since Milne Edwards's diagnosis (Hist. Nat. Crust., 1837, 2, p. 333) is entirely
insufficient. In 1849 (Gay's Hist. Chile, ZooL, 3, p. 211, Atlas, 2, Crust, pi. 1,
f. 4) Nicolet described and figured as Astacus chilensis M. Edw. a crayfish cer-
tainly different from Milne Edwards's species, and R. A. Philippi therefore gave
Nicolet's species a new name, Astacus nicoleti, in a paper published in the Anales
de la Universidad de Chile, 1882, 61. In a paper published in 1898 when I was
ignorant of Philippi's paper, I also gave a name to Nicolet's crayfish, fortunately
the same name that had been already given it by Philippi. In the same paper
Philippi describes and figures a new species, Astacus spinifrons; the diagnosis is
as follows:—A. rostro elongato-triangulari ad basin utrinque spinula acuta;
carpo extus profunde sulcato, margine superiore grosse tuberculato; mano crassa
subtus rotundata; digitis haud lineato-sulcatis, intus basi longe barbato-ciliatis.
In 1894 Philippi ^ published a description of another new species of Parasta-
cus from Chile under the name of Astacus bimaculatus. This is probably the
species which I described later by the name of Parastacus agassizii (Proc. U. S.
Nat. Mus., 1898, 20, p. 690).

PARASTACUS SPINIFRONS (Philippi).

Astacus spinifrons PHILIPPI, Anales Univers. Chile, 1882, 61.
A male Parastacus in the Museum of Natural History, Paris, sent to me for
identification by Prof. E. L. Bouvier, I think belongs to this species. It differs,

Anales Universidad Chile, 1894, 87, p. 369-379. I have been unable to consult either of Philippi's
memoirs directly. Miss Rathbun, however, has kindly furnished me with a transcript of the earlier one,
copied from the volume of the Anales in the Library of Congress, Washington, and Dr. A. E. Ortmann
has courteously lent me a MS. copy of the later paper, given to him by F . Philippi, son of the author,
about 1900.

it is true, from Philippics figures of P . spinifrons, at least from the copy of those
figures in Dr. Ortmann's possession, in some respects, for instance the rostrum
is shorter and broader and the immobile finger of the large claw is much longer.
These discrepancies may be due to the inaccuracy of the original figures or of the
copy of these figures which is all that I have before me. Philippics diagnosis,
moreover, takes no account of the pronounced asymmetry of the chelipeds, a
marked feature of the specimen from the Paris Museum. I append a description
of the latter; future explorations in Chile will determine whether it is the same
species as Philippi's.
Cephalothorax subcylindrical, smooth, shorter than the abdomen; areola
broad, considerably less than one half the length of the anterior section of the
carapace; rostrum triangular, reaching to the distal end of the second antennu-
lary segment, upper surface plane, with slightly elevated margins; post-orbital
ridges obscurely marked except anteriorly where they form an elongate, low,
tubercle without an acute spine; the antero-lateral angle of the carapace is
produced to a prominent blunt angle below the orbit; there is no lateral or
branchiostegian spine. The abdominal pleura are broad, with rounded angles.
The antennal scales are broad, broadest in the middle; lower surface of the
peduncle of the antenna hairy; epistoma triangular, anterior angle acute; third
pair of maxillipeds clothed with dense hair below. Chelipeds unsymmetrical,
the right one being much the larger, meros pretty smooth, except on its lower
face which is provided with a row of small marginal tubercles and clothed with a
heavy coat of hair; the superior margin of the meros is destitute of a spine;
the carpus has a deep longitudinal groove along its external face; below this
groove the surface is smooth, above it there are small squamous tubercles which
on the superior border of the carpus assume the form of prominent tubercles, or
blunt teeth, four or five in number; the infero-interior face of the carpus of the
larger cheliped is likewise furnished with similar tubercles; the right (larger)
claw is very thick, with rounded superior and inferior borders; the body of the
claw is beset with flattened low tubercles which are most pronounced anteriorly,
near the socket of the dactylopodite; the fingers gape, are pitted in place of being
tuberculated, and there are about three blunt teeth on the cutting edge of each
finger, one of which is especially prominent; both fingers are heavily bearded at
the base, especially on the inner side; the left (smaller) claw is nearly smooth,
with long and slender fingers that meet throughout their length, destitute of
teeth but furnished with a beard at the base, like the larger claw. Inner branch

There are four specimens of this species in the U. S. National Museum from
the rivulets of MM. Bock and Jones, Lake Nahuel Huapi, on the eastern slope
of the Cordilleras in Argentina. The chelipeds are preserved in three of these
specimens; in two the larger claw is on the left side, in one it is the right, as in
the Paris specimen.
The tip of the rostrum is setose in this species, and in most cases there are
a pair of minute, horny, bead-like lateral teeth just back of the point of the ros-
trum. The rostrum is therefore essentially like that of P. himaculatus. From
the latter the present species differs in having much stouter, shorter-fingered,
more heavily tuberculated claws, and a somewhat longer metathorax and nar-
rower areola.
Parastacus agassizii (= himaculatus) .has been recorded from Lake Nahuel
Huapi by Ortmann (Proc. Amer. Philos. Soc, 41, p. 293). The specimens
should be examined anew with reference to the possibility of their belonging to
the present species, P. spinifrons f
Specimens from Puerto Montt, Lake Llanquihue, on the opposite slope of
the Cordilleras, in Chile, are said by Doflein (Sitzungsber. Akad. Wissensch.
Mlinchen, 1900, 30, p. 133) to agree wholly with my description of P. agassizii ^
( = himaculatus).

1 The error in the branchial formula of P. agassizii as it appears in my paper in the Proc. U. S. Nat-
Mus., 1898, 20, p. 692, has been pointed out by Doflein. This error was due to an unfortunate disloca-
tion of the table in printing, as is evident on comparing the table of the branchial arrangement in the
genus Parastacus on p. 683.
CRAYFISHES. 357

A single specimen of this species has been lately received at the Museum of
Comparative Zoology from Valparaiso, Chile.
As noted above, P. agassizii has been recorded from Lake Nahuel Huapi
in Argentina by Ortmann (Proc. Amer. Philos. Soc, 41, p. 293). Specimens
from this locality in the U. S. National Museum belong to a different although
similar species, P . spinifrons (Phil.)? and Dr. Ortmann's determination should
therefore be verified.
I think that my P. agassizii is the same species as the one previously
described by R. A. Philippi in 1894 under the name of Astacus bimaculatus.
Philippi's description is as follows:—•
"Astacus bimaculatus Ph.
"A. cephalothorace utrinque macula magna triangulari, albida notato; rostro elongato, peracuto,
utrinque ante apicem denticulo armato, unde lineae elevatae sensim divergentes nascuntur; chelis valde
inaequalibus, sinistra majore; carpo ejus extus inflato, velut bullato, margine superiore unispinoso;
digitis gracilibus, denticulatis. Longit. corporis 72 mm., chelae majoris 37 mm.
" E l color del cuerpo es oscuro siendo una mezcla de negro vcrdoso i de pardo rojizo, como en laa
demas especies, i en cado lado se ve una gran mancha triangular blanquizca; su superficie es lisa, pero las
patas anteriores est^n cubiertas de granulaciones bastante gruesas, que faltan solo en la parte inflada
del carpo. El pico es casi t a n largo como la escama situada en la base de las antenas esteriores; se
adclgaza paulatinamente en una punta mui aguda e inclinada. De cado lado i mui cerca de la punta
se notan dos dientecitos puntiagudos, de dondc parten listones bastante elevados i agudos, qui diverjen
paulatinamente. Un dientecito mui puntiagTido se observa tambien ante el borde de la 6rbita. Las
patas anteriores son mui desiguales, la izquierda es mucho mas larga i sobrc todo mas gruesa; por lo
demas su hechura es la misma. En el borde superior del articulo tercero se nota una espina, i dos o tres
en el borde inferior. El carpo muestra tambien una o dos espinas en su borde superior, i en su lado
esterior una hinchazon casi semi-globosa, mui notable en el carpo izquierdo, menor pero bien aparente
en el derecho. La mano es mucho mas angosta i estirada que en las otras tres especies chilenas, sobre
todo los dedos, cuyo borde interior es finamente dentado. Las otras partes del cuerpo no ofrecen nada
de particular."

This description agrees pretty well with the species which I described as
P. agassizii, but I do not know what Philippi means by asserting that the figure
oi Astacus fluviatilis in the Regne Animal of Cuvier (Disciples' Ed., pi. 49, fig. 2)
is an exact representation of his new Chilean species. The colour of the speci-
mens from Talcahuano had long since vanished when I described them. Porter,
however, has more recently described the living colours of P . agassizii, and they
seem to conform in the main to the colour scheme of P. bimaculatus as described
by Philippi:
"El color es en el dorso i flancos del cuerpo bruno-olivdceo, notdndose en cada costado del cefalo-
t6rax, por detras del surco cervical, una gran mancha triangular de color amarillo limon cuyo vertice
redondeado alcanza hasta la areola, confundiendose en esta rejion con la del lado opuesto en muchos ejem-
plarcs. A veces se ve ademas una mancha redondeada del mismo color a pocos millmetros del borde
anterior del carapacho. Los tuberculillos escamiformes de las quelas lo mismo que las espinitas del rostro

son anaranjados, color que se observa en la parte inferior del cuerpo e inferior e interna de las patas.
Estas ultimas son de color bruno-olivdceo o bien olivdceo, especialmente en las quelas."^

With reference to the large triangular colour-patch on each side of the


carapace of P . himaculatus as described by Philippi and of P. agassizii as de-
scribed by Porter, it should be observed that spots of the same shape and in the
same place are often seen in crayfishes of divers kinds shortly after they are im-
mersed in alcohol. These spots or blotches are the result of the quick action of
the alcohol on the thinnest part of the branchiostegites, which are bathed in the
fluid on both sides, within and without. At first red, these spots afterwards
fade into yellowish white,— the colour which ultimately pervades the whole
of the body in specimens preserved in spirits. One is almost inclined to suspect
that the colour-pattern noted by Philippi and Porter was due to recent immersion
of the specimens in alcohol.

AsTACus LENiuscuLus Dana.

A large number of specimens of this species were collected for the U. S.


National Museum in Johnson Creek, Portland, Multnomah Co., Oregon, by
Messrs. Lyon and Benedict in May, 1905. The largest of these are upwards of
five and one half inches long and demonstrate the fact that this species has as
full, obese a form as A. trowhridgii. There is considerable variation in relative
width of the areola in these specimens. Of twenty-six specimens, eighteen
{7&, 11 9) have the right and left claws symmetrical, while in eight (5 (f", 3 9 )
the claws are asymmetrical. In many of the asymmetrical individuals I think
the smaller, slenderer claw, which may be either on the right or left side, is a
new claw grown after the loss of the original one.
In a male specimen collected by Mr. S. E. Meek, in Ten-Mile Lake, Florence,
Lane Co., Oregon, Oct. 17, 1896 (U. S. N. M. No. 23,121), the chelae have the
form characteristic of A. leniusculus, and both pairs of post-orbital spines are
developed as in that species, but in the shape of the rostrum and the propor-
tions of the areola it agrees with A. trowhridgii. Another specimen in the U. S.
National Museum from Astoria, Clatsop Co., Oregon, resembles A. trowhridgiim
the breadth and inflation of the claws and the length of the posterior section of
the carapace. Still another specimen in the same Museum (collected by Mr.
Wm. Palmer) from the base of Mt. Tamalpais, Marin Co., Cal., taken altogether
would be classed with A. trowhridgii; yet in the proportions of the posterior sec-

tion of the carapace and the areola it agrees rather with A. leniusculus. As
these two species inhabit the same region it is possible that they interbreed and
produce hybrids.

AsTACUS TROWBRiDGii Stimpson.

Astacus trowhridgii stands midway between A. leniusculus and A. klama-


thensis. As it varies in one direction towards the former species, as has just been
shown, so, on the other hand it passes through intermediate forms into the latter
species. Such intermediate forms I have seen from Wilson Creek, Willapa,
Pacific Co., and Littlerock, Thurston Co., Washington; and Sinslow River,
Mapleton, Lane Co., and Wallowa Lake, Oregon. In dealing with small, imma-
ture individuals it is often difficult if not impossible to decide whether they
should be assigned to A. klamathensis or to A. trowhridgii.

ASTACUS KLAMATHENSIS Stimpson.


Plate 11, 12.

Astacus klamathensis has a wide distribution in British Columbia, and in


the states of Idaho, Washington, Oregon, and northern California, in the vast
area drained by the Columbia River and its tributaries as well as in the smaller
streams that empty into the Pacific Ocean on the west side of the Cascade Range
of mountains.

In a lot of two dozen or more specimens of this species from Portland, Ore-
gon, in the U. S. National Museum, a slight variation from the typical form is
apparent in the lengthening of the rostrum and antennal scale and the more
pronounced granulation of the chelae. In these regards they show a slight
approach towards A. trowhridgii. Many of these individuals have lost their

claws and grown them anew (see Plate 11, 12). It is interesting to note the
restored claws never assume the normal form but are elongated and flattened.
When both chelipeds have been lost and re-grown simultaneously, the result is
an individual with perfectly symmetrical claws on the right and left sides, so
different in shape from the normal claws that one might easily be led to believe
that it is a distinct species. Such a specimen is shown in Plate 12, fig. 2. The
restored claws in these cases assume an ancestral, less highly specialized from.

ASTACUS NIGEESCENS POETIS, S u b s p . n o v .

Plate 7, Fig. 5, 9; Plate 9, Fig. 2.

Similar to Astacus nigrescens, from which it is distinguished by the following


characters: — the sides of the rostrum converge more from the base to the tip;
the areola of the carapace is narrower in proportion to its length; the chelae are
shorter, broader, and more inflated.
Dimensions of a male:—length, 94 mm.; length of carapace, 49 mm.;
width of carapace, 26 mm.; length of abdomen, 45 mm.; width of abdomen,

ASTACUS GAMBELII CONNECTENS, subsp. nov.


Plate 7, Fig. 6, 10; Plate 10, Fig. 1.

Similar to A. gamhelii (Girard), but different in these regards:— the rostrum


is narrower and longer, with a longer acumen, and in correlation with this the
antennal scales are much longer, their internal -margin sloping gradually to the
lengthened apical spine. The post-orbital ridges, though rudimentary, as in
A. gamhelii, develop a pair of prominent posterior spines as in A. nigrescens,
while the anterior pair — the only post-orbital spines found in A. gamhelii — are
much more prominent than in that form. The chelae are longer and slenderer
than in A. gamhelii.
Types:—V. S. N. M. No. 23,096, Snake River at Upper Salmon Falls,

CRAYFISHES. 361

Paratype:— Silvies River, Burns, Harney Co., Oregon, July 27, 1904,
J. O. Snyder coll., 1 9 . U. S. N. M.
This form bears the same relation to A. gambelii as A. leniusculus does to
A. trowhridgii. In the development of the posterior pair of post-orbital spines it
shows an affinity to A. nigrescens. It appears to be connected with A. gambelii
by intermediate forms. A large male upwards of 3i in. long in the U. S. National
Museum, collected at the mouth of St. Joe River, Coeur d'Alene Lake, Idaho,
has the long narrow rostrum and the elongated hand and fingers oi A.g. connedens,
but the posterior pair of post-orbital spines are wanting, and specimens (also in
the U. S. National Museum) from Warm Springs, Harney Co., Oregon, in most
respects like typical A. gamhelii, show traces of the posterior post-orbital spines.
Dimensions of a male:—Length, 65 mm.; length of carapace, 34 mm.;
length of abdomen, 31 mm.; length of posterior section of carapace, 11 mm.;

A s T A C U S PALLIPES ITALICUS, S u b s p . IIOV.

Plate 8, Fig. 2.

In the Italian Crayfish as compared with the typical form of A. pallipes


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

362 CRAYFISHES.

Two specimens, 1 d', 1 9 , in the U. S. N. M., No. 20,073, from Piobesi, near
Turin, Italy, received from the Turin Zoological Museum agree in the essential
characters with the Pompeiian specimens.
From these specimens I infer that the Cisalpine crayfishes constitute a
marked geographical race, which in some respects (viz. the form of the rostrum,
antennal scale, epistoma, and gonopods) shows an approach to Astacus astacus.
It is not, however, liable to be confounded with that species, since the median
carina of the rostrum is not denticulated, and the post-orbital ridges are entire,
not broken up into an anterior and a posterior section as is the case with Astacus
astacus. In the important matter of the branchial apparatus, moreover, Asiacus
pallipes italicus differs from A. astacus and agrees with A. pallipes in having but
two rudimentary pleurobranchiae on each side of the body, upon the eleventh
and twelfth body-segments.^
The crayfish found in the neighbourhood of Madrid, Spain, is in almost
every respect like the typical French Astacus pallipes. It does, however, show
an approach to the Italian examples in one regard, viz. an enlargement of the
anterior process of the epistoma, and with this in a few specimens goes a tendency
toward a broadening of the rostrum. It would nevertheless be an over-refine-
ment to separate the Spanish crayfishes from Astacus pallipes.

CAMBARUS PILOSIMANUS Ortmann?

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

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

364 CRAYFISHES.

Messrs. Palmer and Riley, July 8, 1900. It may be an immature specimen of


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

CAMBARUS CUBENSIS CONSOBRINUS Saussure.

Camharus consobrinus SAUSS., Rev. et Mag. Zool., 1857, ser. 2, 9, p. 101; Mem. Soc. Phys. Hist. Nat.

Cambarus cubensis consobrinus FAXON, Bull. Mus. Comp. Zool., Oct. 1912, 54, p. 458.

In this form of the Cuban Crayfish the rostrum is narrower than in the
typical C. cubensis, more deeply concave above, its margins more distinctly
raised and less convergent between the base and the pair of lateral spines near the
distal end; these lateral rostral spines, moreover, are much better developed than
in the typical form, and the rostral acumen is longer; the post-orbital ridge is
more prominent, distinctly grooved along its outer face, and produced anteriorly
into an acute spine much more strongly emphasized than in the typical C. cuben-
sis; there is, too, an evident lateral spine on each side of the carapace, on the hind
border of the cervical groove,— a spine which is not present in C. cubensis cuben-
sis. The external sexual organs are alike in the two forms.
Nine specimens of this crayfish (5 cf, 4 9 ), M. C. Z., No. 7,343, were secured
by Dr. Thomas Barbour from lads who were using them for fish-bait, at San
Antonio de los Banos, in the interior of the Province of Habana, Cuba, April,
1909.
Cotypes of Saussure's Cambarus consobrinus are now dispersed among the
Museums of Geneva, Paris, Berlin, and Washington. It is very likely that
Saussure's material included some of the typical form of C. cubensis; his descrip-
tion and figures, nevertheless, were grounded on the form with long rostral acu-
men, and distinct rostral and lateral thoracic spines; the type locality of conso-
brinus, moreover, as specified by Saussure, is the central part of the island.
In the cotype in the U. S. National Museum (No. 20,684, ex Mus. Geneva),

a male, dried and transfixed with a pin, the rostrum is abnormal, the right margin
thereof being pared away toward the tip, carrying with it the right marginal
spine. This deformity was evidently present in the living specimen. On the
left side the marginal rostral tooth or spine is well developed, as are also the
spines at the anterior end of the post-ocular ridges. The lateral thoracic spines
too are fairly well marked.

CAMBARUS CUBENSIS RIVALIS Faxon.


Camharus cubensis rivalis FAX., Bull. Mus. Comp. Zool., Oct., 1912, 54, p. 459.
Differs from typical C. cubensis (which lives in the low country, near the sea-
level) in having a much shorter and broader areola, a shorter, broader, and
more heavily granulated claw; the sides of the rostrum, furthermore, are more
nearly parallel and they bear a pair of distinct lateral spines at the base of the
acumen. In so far as the rostrum is concerned this subspecies resembles C. c.
consobrinus, yet it differs from consohrinus by having a short and wide areola
and by the absence of lateral thoracic spines. The sexual parts are like those of
C. cubensis.
Length of an ovigerous female, 44 mm., length of carapace, 21 mm., length
of areola, 6 mm., breadth of areola, 2 mm.
This form is an inhabitant of the mountain streams of western Cuba. The
extent of its distribution remains to be determined by further exploration of the
island. The type specimens (M. C. Z. No. 7,406), two males of the second form
and three females, were caught by Dr. Thomas Barbour in a mountain stream
near San Diego de los Banos, in the Province of Pinar del Rio, Feb., 1912. There
are also specimens in the U. S. National Museum from the same place (Nos.
28,626, 28,627) and also from a mountain brook north of the town of Pinar del
Rio (Nos. 23,656, 23,657).

Cambarus carolinus HAGEN, nee Eriehson.


Cambarus hagenianus FAXON, Proc. Amer. Acad., 1884, 20, p. 14.

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

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

anterior and posterior triangular fields. This is well shown in Roetter's beauti-
ful drawing of a specimen from New Orleans in Hagen's Monograph of the North

CAMBAEUS CLAEKII PAENINSULANUS, subsp. nov.

The examples of Clark's crayfish found in the peninsular portion of the


State of Florida differ slightly, albeit constantly, from the typical Texas form
in being smoother, in having a more tapering rostrum, and a shorter and broader
antennal scale; there is moreover a slight difference in the shape of the tip of the
male sexual appendages: the anterior terminal tooth being narrower and more
acute than in the typical form in which this tooth is broader, more laminate and
less acute at the tip; in the Floridan subspecies, too, the anterior half of the tel-
son bears on each side from three to five spines, while in the typical C. clarkii
there are but two spines on each side.

CAMBARUS WIEGMANNI Erichson.

This species is still imperfectly known; Erichson's type, which came from
Mexico, is no longer extant; it was described as having hooks on both the third
and fourth pairs of legs in the male. A female individual from Mexico, in the
collection of the Academy of N a t u r a l Sciences of Philadelphia, was referred to
this species by Dr. Hagen and myself, although with some doubt on account of
the want of male specimens. I n 1906 Dr. Ortmann (Proc. Washington Acad.
Sci., 8, p. 15-19) described and assigned to this species a male belonging to the
Philadelphia Academy, collected by Professor E. D . Cope in 1885 in Lake Xochi-
milco, south of the City of Mexico, in the Federal District; in this specimen the
legs of the third pair are furnished with a very small tubercle only, while those
of the fourth pair are armed with a strongly developed hook.
Four specimens, three male, one female, recently collected by Mr. W. M .
Mann at San Miguel, State of Hidalgo, Mexico, and now in the Museum of
Comparative Zoology, conform to Ortmann's description of the Cope specimens,
barring the fact t h a t there is no vestige of even a tubercle on the third pair of
legs of the male, the fourth pair alone being provided with hooks; these speci-
mens may represent an undescribed species, but on account of the sad dearth of
requisite material and the loss of the type of C. wiegmanni the elucidation of
this question must needs be deferred to a later time.

Four specimens, males of the second form, collected by Mr. W. P. Hay
between Paoli and Wyandotte, Ind. (U. S. N. M., No. 19,776), and determined
by Mr. Hay as C. sloanii, differ in some important regards from the types of
C. sloanii from New Albany, Ind.: The tip of the inner ramus of the gonopods
is not deflected inward so strongly, the rostrum is longer, with a longer acumen,
the large claws are distinctly narrower, with relatively longer fingers, and the
outer row of spines on the lower face of the merus of the cheliped is reduced to a
single terminal spine. These specimens perhaps represent a new species or sub-
species, but in the absence of the first form of the male and the female I refrain
from naming it.

in the town of Peabody, Essex Co., Mass. How or when it got there I do not
know. The first report of it came to me in 1901 when the late J. H. Sears
brought me a specimen 90 m.m. long, which he had caught in Bancroft's Pond,
Peabody, on the 4th of August of that year. In Sept., 1911, Dr. John C. Phillips
secured a good many (43) specimens from Spimg Pond, Brown's Pond and Ban-
croft's Pond in Peabody, some of them attaining a length of 98 mm.'^ Dr. Phil-
lips's collector searched for crayfishes in the following ponds in Essex County
with negative results:—Hood's, Stephens, Four-Mile, Stiles's, Spofford's and
Perley Pond in Boxford, and Chcbacco, Beck's, Round and Gravelly Ponds in
Hamilton.
On the 14th of June, 1912, I captured a female C. affinis, with young under
her abdomen, in Mansfield Pond, Great Barrington, Berkshire Co., Mass.

New Marlborough, by anglers who were using them as fish-bait, that they are
now exceedingly numerous in Lake Buel and have been probably transferred
thence to neighboring ponds by boys.
C.'ajfmis has been introduced into Europe as a piscicultural experiment in
acclimatization at the Station Agricole at Fecamp, France,^ and elsewhere.
This species has also been found of late in Central Park Lake, New York
City, and in Prospect Park Lake, Brooklyn; it has also been reported as intro-
duced into a lake in East Hampton, Middlesex Co., Conn. (Bull. N. Y. Zool.

that one might well suspect some error if the origin of the specimens were not
so well attested. Seven specimens, males of the first form, now in the Field
Museum of Natural History, were collected by Mr. S. E. Meek, together with
four female C. virilis, June 9, 1901, in the drainage of the Rio de los Conchos,
one of the southern tributaries of the Rio Grande. They were picked out from
among the fishes which were the chief object of Mr. Meek's exploration of
Mexico and sent to me for determination in January, 1902.
The conditions obtaining at the time and place of their capture are thus
described by Mr. Meek in his account of the fishes secured during his Mexican
explorations of 1901 :^
" A t Jimenez the Rio Conchos was nearly dry. Our collections were made from a few deep holes
about two miles below the city. These contained a large amount of aquatic vegetation, which made
collecting difficult and unsatisfactory. The water was very clear, and in the deeper places were seen
many large suckers which we were unable to capture. Sunfishes were very abundant. All of these
streams become large and deep in the rainy season, at which time the Rio Conchos at Jiminez becomes
two hundred or more feet in width and as much as fifteen feet in depth."

CAMBARUS SPINOSUS GULIELMI, subsp. nov.


Cambarus spinosus HAY, Proc. U. S. Nat. Mus., 1902, 25, p. 439 (nee Bundy).

Cephalothorax shorter than the abdomen, densely punctate above, gran-


ulate on the sides, the granules largest on the hepatic region where they assume
the form of small tubercles; the whole surface, but more particularly the sides,
is clothed with fine setae arising as pencils from the pits of the dorsal surface and
the granules of the sides; the rostrum is deeply excavated above, its sides paral-
lel from the base to the lateral pair of teeth at the base of the moderately long,
triangular apex; the post-orbital ridges are prominent and provided with a
small tooth at the anterior end; the sub-orbital angle is obliterated, but there
is a well-developed branchiostegian spine, as well as a lateral spine on the cervical
groove; the section of the carapace behind the cervical groove in the median
dorsal hne is a little less than one half the distance from the cervical groove
to the tip of the rostrum. Areola of moderate width. The anterior segment
of the telson bears two spines on each side. The anterior process of the epis-
tome is moderately broad, its sides convex, its anterior angle rounded off. The
antennal flagella are long and slender,— longer than the body; the scale or scapho-
cerite is of moderate width, widest at a point a little anterior to the middle.
The chelae, like the carapace, bear numerous setae springing from the pits and

tubercles on its surface; the inner border of the hand is furnished with squamoid
tubercles disposed for the most in two longitudinal rows; along the distal half
of the outer border of the hand there runs a low, but well-marked, carina; the
dactylus is tuberculate on its free border, blunt-toothed (like the immobile finger)
along its prehensile edge and ridged longitudinally along its outer face; the
carpus is armed with an acute spine on the middle of its internal border, and with
a small tubercle at each end of the same border; below, the median carpal spine
is well pronounced and there is a small acute spine at the inferior point of articu-
lation with the propodus; the two customary spines are present near the anterior
end of the upper margin of the merus; the outer of the two rows of spines on the
lower face of the merus is reduced to two at the distal end. The dorsal carina of
the inner branch of the last abdominal appendages terminates in a tooth a little
distance within the hind margin.
The gonopods, in the second form of the male, are long and straight, reaching
forward, when the abdomen is flexed, as far as the basal segments of the second
pair of legs; their rami are rather thick, blunt at the tip, and the outer one is
but a trifle longer than the inner one; when viewed from the inner side the two
rami are fused up to within a short distance of the end of the organ.
The annulus ventralis of the female is bituberculate in front, unituberculate
behind, the anterior and posterior walls being separated by a transverse fossa
which is divided longitudinally by the sigmoid fissure.
Dimensions of a female:—length, 73 mm., length of carapace, 37 mm.,
length of rostrum from tip to a level with the post-orbital spines, 11 mm., width
of rostrum at base, 5 mm., length of areola, 12 mm., width of areola, 2 mm., length
of cheliped, 54.5 mm., length of chela, 27.5 mm., breadth of chela, 12 mm., length
of dactylus, 16 mm.
This crayfish is closely related to the Camharus spinosus of Bundy, but is
different in the following respects:— the body is more villous, the metacarapace
longer in proportion to the procarapace, the anterior process of the epistome
is much narrower than in the types of Bundy's species and (what has most
weight in regarding it as a subspecies) the external sexual organs are clearly
different. The gonopods in C. s. gulielmi being shorter, the rami thicker, blunter,
nearly equal in length, and separate for but a short distance from the tip, while
in C. spinosus the rami are slender, pointed, the outer one exceeding the inner
by a great distance and the split between the two parts involving a large part
of the length of the organ. The annulus ventralis of the female, though of the
same type as that of the typical C. spinosus, differs slightly in having a more open
transverse fossa.

The villosity may be an evanescent character, as it is a condition often


apparent in individuals that have recently undergone a moult; at a later period
the setae are apt to disappear by attrition.

CAMBAEUS PUTNAMI Faxon.

Upward of one hundred specimens of a crayfish closely resembling C. putnami


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

CRAYFISHES. 379

Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa, Missouri, Kansas and Nebraska,


into Colorado and Wyoming.^ To the eastward of Lorain County, Ohio, it
has hitherto been recorded from only two localities, both in the state of New
York: in 1891 Mr. Gerrit Smith Miller, Jr., brought me three specimens which he
found in July of that year in a .small stream flowing into Oneida Lake; these were
recorded by me in 1898 (Proc. U. S. Nat. Mus., 20, p. 654); in 1906 Dr. Ortmann
(Mem. Carnegie Mus., 2, p. 467) called attention to specimens in the New York
State Museum which had been taken by Mr. F. C. Paulmier in Rensselaer Lake,
Rensselaer Co., N. Y. I can now add to the New York stations for this
species the following:— pond near the mouth of Cattaraugus Creek, and Silver
Creek, Chautauqua Co. (U. S. N. M. Nos. 22,417, 22,408); Fish Creek, Buffalo,
Erie Co. (U. S. N. M. No. 22,418); and Stony Island, at the eastern end of
Lake Ontario, Jefferson Co. (U. S. N. M. No. 22,409).
My first knowledge of this species as an inhabitant of Massachusetts was
obtained when I was walking across the mud-flats at the upper end of Pontoosuc
Lake on the 11th of November, 1899. The numerous mud-towers or "chim-
neys" here rising above the level of the flat at once betrayed the abode of
some kind of burrowing crayfish. Although the soil was then frozen so as to
make exploration difficult, I satisfied myself that the builders of the little mud-
towers had withdrawn to their brumal retreats in the deeper waters of the Lake,
leaving behind them only one dead companion, a first-form male C. immunis
spinirostris (M. C. Z. No. 6,687). Here the matter rested until, during a visit
to Berkshire in 1911, I ascertained that this crayfish was abundant on the
12th of August among the water-weeds at the head of Pontoosuc Lake. Two
days later I searched for it at the northei"n end of Onota Lake in Pittsfield and
again found it in altogether similar surroundings, albeit in much smaller num-
bers than in the neighbouring Pontoosuc or Lanesborough Pond,
On the 15th of June, 1912, I again collected this crayfish at the outlet of
Goodrich's Pond and in the Housatonic River just above Pomeroy's Mills,
in Pittsfield.
These specimens from Berkshire Co., Mass., agree in most respects with
the types of C. immunis spinirostris, which were collected in Obion County,
Tennessee. The rostrum in the Massachusetts examples tapers a little more
between the base and the ante-apical teeth and, the antennal scales are a little
shorter in proportion to the length of the rostrum. Compared with the typical

form of C. immunis from Illinois, C. imrrlunis spinirostris differs in having a


distinct spine or tooth 'on each side of the rostrum near the tip, more prominent
post-orbital and branchiostegian spines and a shorter posterior section of the
carapace in relation to the section in front of the cervical groove (the proportion
being 1:2 or even less in C. i. spinirostris); the claw, too is narrower, with
proportionally longer and slenderer fingers.
In full-grown living specimens from Pontoosuc Lake (Plate 2, fig. 2) the
dominant colour of the carapace is a rich Vandyke brown shading into tawny olive
on the sides; the cardiac area is conspicuously marked off by being a much lighter
colour,— tawny olive; the abdomen is beautifully mottled above with darker
and lighter shades of tawny olive; the legs are olive-coloured.
In the young, 27 mm. long, from the same locality (Plate 2, fig. 1), the brown
of the adult is replaced by an olive-green which pervades the whole dorsal side
of the creature and is delicately varied by mottling of olive-buff; the cardiac
area is of the latter hue and is continued backward, through the whole length of
the abdomen, as a broad median band; the appendages are delicate olive-green,
changing to a pinkish tint at the tips of the claws.
C. i. spinirostris was first described from Obion County, Tennessee; it has
also been recorded from Omaha, Nebraska (Pearse), Shawnee County, Kansas
(Faxon), Douglas County, Kansas (Harris), Vigo County, Indiana (W. P. Hay),
Ottawa Co., Ohio (Pearse), and Long Point Creek, Canada (Pearse). As a mat-
ter of fact, specimens of C. immunis agreeing more or less closely with the form
which I described as var. spinirostris are to be found pretty much throughout
the range of the species. I have seen such among material collected in Ne-
braska, Kansas, Missouri, Michigan, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, and New York. I
am therefore disposed to regard it as a variety rather than a true geographical
race or subspecies, although it is true that all of the Massachusetts specimens
possess the characters of spinirostris.
When Camharus immunis was first discovered in Berkshire County, Mass.,
it had been recorded from only one place (Oneida Lake, N. Y.) east of Lorain
County, Ohio, and in the State of Ohio it had been recorded from but three locali-
ties — Huron River at Huron, Erie County (Osburn and Williamson, 6th Ann.
Rept. Ohio State Acad., 1898, p. 11), Sandusky, Erie County (Faxon, Proc. U. S.
Nat. Mus., 1898, 20, p. 654), and Lake Erie, Lorain Co. (Osburn and Williamson,
I. c). 1 was therefore formerly inclined to think that its presence in Berkshire
County, Mass., was due to artificial introduction, like the Camharus affinis
in the ponds of Essex County, Mass.; but I have now before me specimens from

along the Ohio shore of Lake Erie from Lucas County, through Ottawa County,
to Erie and Lorain Counties, from the New York borders of the same Lake in
Chautauqua and Erie Counties, from the eastern end of Lake Ontario and from
Lake Oneida; while Ortmann's discovery of the specimens in the Albany Mu-
seum from Renssalaer County, N. Y., extends the eastward distribution of this
crayfish up to Berkshire County, Mass. In the light of all the evidence now col-
lected it seems to me possible, if not probable, that Berkshire County is the
eastern limit of the natural distribution of this species and that the discontinuity
results from imperfect exploration of the waters of New York State. It should
be noted however, for what it is worth, that the Berkshire countrymen whom I
have questioned believe the crayfishes are a comparatively late addition to the
fauna of the Lakes.
However this may be, there can be no reasonable doubt that the presence
of this crayfish in Worcester and Middlesex Counties, Mass., and in Lake Winne-
pesaukee, N. H., is the result of artificial transference at a comparatively recent
date. The first time this animal was found in Walden Pond, Concord, Middle-
sex County, Mass., so far as I can learn, was in the summer of 1909, when two
or more were captured, as I am told by Mr. Reginald Heber Howe, Jr., of the
Middlesex School, Concord. In 1910 Mr. Howe sent me a fine specimen, a
male about 3 | inches long, which had been taken in the Pond, and in early Octo-
ber, 1911, the Rev. Smith Owen Dexter and Mr. H. Richardson of Concord
secured two specimens by a long search under the stones on the edge of Walden.
Mr. Dexter's specimen, taken from the Pond the 9th of October, when about l i
inches long, lived in my aquarium until April 6, 1912, casting its shell twice,
on February 20 and March 19, and attaining a length of if inches. On the 14th
of June, 1912, Mr. Dexter collected four specimens, ranging from 2^ to 4^ inches
in length, from the borders of the Pond, and still more during the following
month. On the 24th of July, 1912, Mr. W. F. Clapp and I got six specimens
there.
I have been told by citizens of Concord that two men who fished in Walden
Pond about ten years ago (c. 1903), using crayfishes for bait, threw their surplus
bait into the Pond and thus unwittingly stocked it with these creatures.
Walden Pond is apparently a most uncongenial abode for Camharus immunis,
being clear as a well and almost destitute of vegetable growth. The favourite
haunts of this species are rather muddy waters stocked with a rank growth of
pond weeds.
In 1913 specimens of this crayfish were collected in Boone Pond, Stow,
382 CRAYFISHES.

Middlesex County, Mass., by Professor G. H. Barton. Boone Pond drains


into the Assabet River. Walden Pond has no visible inlet or outlet.
Dr. D. L. Belding, of the Mass. Fish Commission, collected several speci-
mens in East Washacum Pond, Sterling, Worcester Co., Mass. (Nashua River
drainage), Oct. 10, 1912; Mr. W. F. Clapp found many in the Blackstone River,
at Uxbridge, Worcester County, Mass., Sept. 29, 1913, and there is a specimen
in the United States National Museum collected in 1913 in Lake Winnepe-
saukee, N. H.
In colour as well as in all other characters the Walden Pond and Blackstone
River specimens agree perfectly with those from Berkshire County. Those
from Boone Pond, Sterling, and Lake Winnepesaukee I have seen only after they
had been immersed in alcohol and lost their colour; in other respects they too
are conformable to the Berkshire County variety, i. e., C. i. spinirostris.

CAMBAEUS VALIDUS, sp., nov.

Plate 7, Fig. 3, 4, 8; Plate 13, Fig. 1.

Male, form I.— Similar to C. immunis Hag., but differs as follows:—the


rostrum is relatively narrower, less tapering from the base to the lateral angles
at the proximal end of the acumen, its margins are more distinctly raised so that
the upper surface of the rostrum appears to be more deeply hollowed out. The
foveola at the base of the rostrum in C. immunis is scarcely evident in C. validus.
The chela is very much larger, more powerful and of a different form from that
of C. immunis; the immovable finger is curved strongly outward at the base,
giving a convex outline to the external margin of the hand; the movable finger
is furnished with a double row of tubercles running along its external margin,
while the inner margin is not excised at the base and is armed with a row of eight
or nine round bead-like tubercles; the chela is as long as the carapace, and broad
and inflated. The lower face of the carpus is furnished with only a rudimentary,
blunt, median spine or tubercle. The sub-orbital angle is less prominent, the
posterior wall of the orbit forming a perpendicular straight line. The anterior
process of the epistome is much broader, with the anterior end truncated but
not notched. In other regards, including the form of the sexual appendages
it agrees with C. immunis. The rostrum is devoid of lateral teeth or spines,
like the typical form of C. immunis.

Six specimens in the U. S. National Museum, three of which are males of the
second form, and three females (No. 23,092) collected by Mr. J. E . Benedict at
Nashville, Tennessee, in M a y , 1897, without much doubt are conspecific with
the type specimen of C. validus. As they are younger than the type specimen,
and as the first form of the male is not represented among them, the peculiarities
of the species are not so well pronounced. The chelae are proportionally smaller
and the curve of the immobile finger is less. ' This finger, as in the type specimen
and in C. immunis, is heavily bearded within at the base. The gonopods of the
males are similar to those of second-form males of C. immunis, but less strongly
curved; indeed the curve of the stem of the organ is no greater t h a n it is in C.
virilis, but the blunt recurved tips are subequal as in C. immunis; in other words
the shape of the second form male organ is the same as in C. alabamensis. The
annulus ventralis of the female is virtually the same as in C. immunis.

there is a large collection in the United States National Museum from the
Allegash River a little below Chamberlain Lake, Churchill Lake, Eagle or
Heron Lake, Crosslake Throughfare, and Bean Lake, St. Francis River) is a
small, clean form that in these clear, cool, northern waters shows a slight
differentiation from the typical C. hartonii from the Middle States. The
rostrum is more strongly decurved and the fingers are narrower and more cylin-
drical and gape widely at the base. The differences between this form and the
type nevertheless do not seem to be great enough or constant enough to warrant
a subspecific separation.

CAMBARUS BARTONII CARINIROSTRIS Hay MS., subsp. nov.

'^ Rostrum of medium length, very broad, nearly plane or slightly excavated
above and with a more or less distinct, median, longitudinal carina; acumen
short, broad, with concave sides, its tip strongly upturned. Carapace with a
spinulose angle below the eye; branchiostegian spine obsolescent; areola of
moderate width. Telson bi- or tri-spinose on each side. Antennae, when
extended backward, reaching beyond the middle of the abdomen. Chelipeds
stout and heavy, chelae broad and strong, heavily punctate above and below;
inner margin of hand obscurely serrato-denticulate; fingers usually gaping at
the base, strong down curved, pitted in lines, upper surface heavily ribbed.
Otherwise essentially the same as typical C. hartonii.
^'This form, which I regard as a well-marked subspecies, is in typical ex-
amples very like C. hartonii in general, but different in the following regards:—
the carapace is a little more cylindrical, the rostrum broader and flatter, and
CRAYFISHES. 385

always furnished near the tip with a median longitudinal carina. This carina is
usually well defined and extends from near the acumen backward to about the
middle of the broad flat surface of the rostrum; it is generally followed by an ill-
defined and very shallow foveola. In less typical specimens the carina is reduced
to a very low, rounded, almost invisible elevation just between the lateral angles
of the rostrum, or in some cases is wanting altogether; in such specimens the
other characters,— cylindrical carapace and broad, flat rostrum,— will hardly
be sufficient to separate them from other closely related subspecies.

''This crayfish is abundant in the main stream as well as in the tributaries

C. b. carinirostris Hay is a slightly differentiated local form of C. bartonii
found chiefly in the mountain streams of Randolph Co., W. Va., the Cheat and
Tygart's Valley Rivers and their tributaries. Outside of Randolph County, Mr.
Hay secured a few specimens at Albright, Preston Co., at Queens, Upshur Co.,
in the above-named river-basins. It is also probably to be found in the upper
waters of the Kanawha River basin further to the south, since there are a few
specimens in the U. S. National Museum (Nos. 23,975, 28,605) from the West
Fork of the Greenbrier River, near Durbin, Pocahontas Co., and from Laurel
Creek, in second Water Cave, near Greenville, Monroe Co., that are pretty char-
acteristic examples of this race.
The median carina on the upper surface of the rostrum is a rather elusive
character, in many individuals it is scarcely if at all apparent. Such specimens
retain, nevertheless the peculiar quadrangular outline of the rostrum, which
is often a trifle broader at the base of the acumen than it is in the middle.
The areola is of moderate width and not so thickly pitted as it is in C. b.
montanus.
The dimensions of Mr. Hay's type are as follows:—
Length, 63 mm.; length of carapace, 32 mm.; length of areola, 11^ mm.;
width of areola, 2^ mm.; width of rostrum between the eyes, 4 mm.; length of
chela, 25 mm.; breadth of chela 11^ mm.; length of dactylus, 16i mm.

CAMBARUS BARTONII MONTANUS (Girard).


In looking over any extensive collection of Camharus hartonii from the Alle-
ghany Mountain region of Virginia and West Virginia one is struck by the
tendency of the material before him to fall into two sets of forms, one character-
ized by a rather narrow areola, sparsely sown with impressed points or dots
which incline to a serial arrangement in three or four longitudinal rows; while
in the other set the areola is shorter and proportionally broader, and its field
is thickly strewn with innumerable dots. On further examination it will be
seen that the narrower areola usually goes with a shorter and broader rostrum,
a more depressed and oval carapace and a narrower antennal scale. These two
forms are often found in the same locality and with these alone in view one might
be justified in deeming them two well-differentiated species, but it soon becomes
clear that in other places specimens are found that combine in a most perplexing
fashion the features of our two supposed species.
The second of the two forms above noticed, the one with the shorter and
broader and more thickly punctate areola and longer rostrum is the one too
curtly diagnosed by Girard under the name of Camharus montanus.
Girard's description of C. montanus is as follows:— ''Antennae more elon-
gated and more filiform than in C. Bartonii. Rostrum intermediate in shape
between the latter and C. carolinus, being proportionally longer than in C. Bar-
tonii and shorter and less tapering than in C. carolinus. Dorsal sutures of the
carapace more apart than in both of the latter species.
"Localities.— Within the Alleghany ranges in Virginia and Maryland:
tributaries of James River in Rockbridge Co. (Va.); Shenandoah River in
Clarke Co. (Va.), and Cumberland (Md.) of the hydrographical basin of the
Potomac; Sulphur Spring, Greenbrier River, an affluent of the Kenhawa River
(Va.) [now W. Va.] of the Ohio basin."
When Dr. Hagen was preparing his Monograph of the North American
Astacidae in 1868, he had the opportunity to examine one of Girard's types of
C. montanus from Greenbrier River, W. Va., sent to him by Wm. Stimpson who
then had the types from the Smithsonian Institute in Chicago, where in 1871 they
were most unfortunately destroyed by the disastrous conflagration of that year.
Sixteen years later, while I was revising the Astacidae, I had the advantage
of close personal intercourse with Dr. Hagen and free use of his notes and memo-
randa. The identity of Girard's Camharus montanus is thus assured by an
unbroken tradition. Neither Dr. Hagen nor myself in my earlier publications
esteemed this form worthy of even a subspecific name, although its characters
CRAYFISHES. 387

were pointed out in my Revision, p. 64. It may be well in our present more
advanced knowledge of the C. bartonii group to recognize C. montanus as a
geographical race or subspecies of C. hartonii.
In the collection of the Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia there
is a young male, labelled "James River, Va., C. montanus?'^ which is very prob-
ably a cotype or paratype of Girard's Camharus viontanus. With regard to this
and other quasi types of Girard's species in the Philadelphia Academy, the reader
is referred to Hagen's Monograph, p. 7, and my Revision, p. 11.
I have exaniined specimens of C. bartonii montanus, nearly or quite typical,
from the following localities:—VIRGINIA : Wytheville, Wythe Co. (U. S. N. M., No.
13,966, M. C. Z., No. 3,838); Rocky Gap, Bland Co. (U. S. N. M., No. 28,568.)
WEST VIRGINIA: Horsepen Creek, [Mingo Co.?] (U. S. N. M. No. 28,555); Madam
Creek, tributary of New River, opposite Hinton, Summers Co. (U. S. N. M.,
No. 28,556, M. C. Z., No. 7,398); Bergen's Springs, 12 miles above Hinton (U. S.
N. M., No. 28,566); Delashmeet Creek, Kegley, Mercer Co. (U. S. N. M., No.
28,610); Bluestone River, just above its mouth, Mercer Co. (U. S. N. M., No.
28,570); mouth of Delashmeet Creek, Bluestone River, Mercer Co. (U. S. N. M.,
No. 28,565); Bluestone River, Abb's Valley (U. S. N. M., No. 28,569); East
River, Mercer Co. (U. S. N. M.); Rich Creek, Spanishburg, Mercer Co. (U. S.
N. M.); Barrenche Creek, Perrysville, McDowell Co. (U. S. N. M., No. 28,573);
War Creek, McDowell Co. (U. S. N. M., Nos. 28,564, 28,580); Guyandotte
River, Baileysville, Wyoming Co. (U. S. N. M., Nos. 28,562, 28,578, 28c^).
Isolated localities from which I have seen specimens of C. bartonii very
closely resembling the form montanus in the breadth and punctation of the areola
are: Alum Creek, Franklin Co., Ohio, R. C. Osburn and E. B. Williamson (U. S.
N. M., No. 22,351), Cincinnati, Ohio (M. C. Z., No. 288), creek at Knoxville,
Tenn., Walter Faxon (M. C. Z., No. 3,477). From Cogar's Mill, Elk River,
Kanawha Co., W. Va., I have seen an interesting lot of specimens that combine
the characters of C. b. montanus and C. b. longulus, the rostrum and chela of
montanus going with the reduced sub-orbital angle of longulus. These specimens
are in the U. S. National Museum, No. 23,990, and in the Museum of Compara-
tive Zoology, No. 7,401.

CAMBARUS BARTONII ROBUSTUS (Girard).


Plate 3.
From Cambarus bartonii montanus the passage is easy to C. b. robustus, in
which form the rostrum is longer and more tapering, the areola rather longer

pression running along the upper and lower faces of the immobile finger. In the
United States National Museum there are many specimens from West Fork
of Greenbrier River, W. Va. (No. 23,977, 23,978) and from Crane Creek, W. Va.,
which are very nearly typical examples of C. h. rohusius. They differ slightly,
it is true, from more northern specimens in having a little broader areola and less
pronounced impressions upon the immobile finger. In these regards they show
an approach to C. b. montanus, from which the form robustus is probably derived.
Specimens collected at Wytheville, Wythe Co., Va. (TJ. S. N. M., No. 13,966,
M. C. Z., No. 3,838) which were referred to C. b. robustus by me in 1890 (Proc.
TJ. S. Nat. Mus., 12, 622) are in reality C. b. montanus.
Examples from Fredericksburg, Spotsylvania Co., Va., were formerly referred
to C. robustus by Hagen in his Monograph, p. 80, and by myself in my Revision,
p. 61, 67, but they are not typical examples of C. robustus. These specimens
(M. C. Z., Nos. 3,615, 3,797) are 'm. many ways like to C. acuminatus in the ros-
trum which is longer and more tapering than in robustus, in the relatively short
posterior section of the carapace, greater width of the areola, and the highly
developed spines at the base of the antennal scales, on the carpus, and on the
merus. The lateral spine of the carapace is distinctly developed on almost all
of the Fredericksburg specimens. A similar form is found at Raleigh, N. C.
(U. S.N. M. No. 22,355).
After eliminating the specimens which have been wrongly identified with
C. robustus, the distribution of the latter race, in its true form, is restricted, as
far as known, to the following regions:—ONTARIO: Toronto, Weston. M I C H I -
IGAN: Wayne, Washtenaw, Oakland, Sanilac, Huron, Oscoda, Crawford, Alcona
and Ionia Counties. OHIO: Knox, Lorain, Cuyahoga, and Ashtabula Counties.
N E W YORK: Chautauqua, Genesee, Allegany, Monroe, Wayne, Tompkins,
Oswego, Madison, Jefferson, St. Lawrence, Herkimer and Hamilton Counties.
PENNSYLVANIA: Erie, Crawford, Warren, McKean, and Allegheny Counties (St.
Lawrence and Upper Ohio drainage). W E S T VIRGINIA: West Fork of Green-
brier River and Crane Creek.
Cambarus bartonii robustus is a sombre-coloured crayfish in life (Plate 3), the
dominant color of the upper surface being a dusky olive tone, nearly uniform
and little relieved by the inconspicuously red-tipped fingers of the large claw.
The ambulatory appendages have a somewhat bluish cast, and the ventral
surface of the creature tends to a dull whitish tint. After the animal is placed
in alcohol, a large, bright red, quadrangular patch presently appears on the
branchiostegites behind the cervical groove, denoting that part of the shell which
CRAYFISHES. 389

is most susceptible to the action of the liquid. After some hours the red colour
extends over the whole branchial region and for a time is sharply defined from
the median areola and the other parts of the body, which still retain the dusky
colour of the living animal. These striking colour-patterns resulting from
recent immersion in alcohol might easily be mistaken for natural life colours b y
one who had not witnessed the change, and it suggests the probability t h a t some
writers have been misled into describing such colours as those of the living animal.
Randall, for instance, in the Journal of the Academy of N a t u r a l Sciences of Phila-
delphia, 8, p. 138, PL 7, describes and figures Astacus oreganus ( = A. lenius-
culus Dana?) as having a red spot on each side of the carapace, quite similar to
the red spot which temporarily shows in Cambarus b. robustus recently immersed
in alcohol. So, too, the whitish or lemon-yellow spot on the branchiostegites of
Parastacus bimaculatus Philippi (Anales Universidad Chile, 87, p . 378), which is
probably the same species t h a t I described under the name Parastacus agassizii
{cf. the colour description of this species by Prof. Carlos E . Porter in Re vista
Chilena de Historia Natural, 8, p . 258, pi. 9, fig. b) m a y possibly be the result
of the action of alcohol on freshly killed specimens.

CAMBARUS BAETONII LONGULUS (Girard).

New localities:—WEST VIEGINIA: West Fork of Greenbrier River, near


Durbin, Pocahontas Co. (U. S. N . M., No. 23,992); Bluestone River, Abb's Valley
(U. S.N. M., No. 28,618).
In normal specimens of this subspecies the sub-orbital angle is hardly if at
all prominent. The individuals which I mentioned in Proc. U. S. N . M., 12,
p. 623, as having the orbit sharply defined below by a prominent angle m a y prove
to be, I suspect, C. bartonii longirostris. This form is not very well known as yet,
and I have reason to think t h a t it acquires with m a t u r i t y a claw very much like
that of C. bartonii longulus. The character of the sub-orbital margin of the
carapace seems to be very constant within the limits of a good subspecies, and
it may prove to be the really diagnostic feature for separating C. b. longulus and
C. h. longirostris.

spine on each side of the carapace on the posterior edge of the cervical groove.
/Areola long and broad, I as broad as long, thickly strewn with impressed dots.
Anterior process of the epistome triangular, truncated anteriorly in old individ-
uals. Chelae large, flattened, internal border furnished with a row of low tuber-
cles, with another row of obsolescent ones running along beside them. The outer
margin of the chela is ridged, on account of a marked longitudinal depression
which runs along the distal part of the palm and the proximal part of the immobile
finger. The fingers are long, heavily pitted, meeting only at their tips, leaving
a wide gape between them. The carpus is armed with an internal median spine,
and a very small internal posterior spine; below it is furnished with the usual
anterior median spine and a minute spinous tubercle between it and the internal
median spine. The lower face of the merus is armed with a row of spines along
its internal margin and an incomplete row on its external margin made up of
about three at the distal end of the joint.

areola, 17 mm.; width of areola, 4 mm.; length of chela, 67 mm.; width of
chela, 26i mm.; length of dactylus, 45 mm.
Type locality, Indian Creek, Baileysville, Wyoming Co., W. Va.
Two males of the first form, sixteen males of the second form and seven
females were collected by Mr. W. P. Hay at this place on the 16th of August,
1900. They are in the collection of the U. S. National Museum, Nos. 25,020,
28,609, 44,712 (type).
There are also in the National Museum one male of the second form and
two females (No. 28,619) from Crane Creek, W. Va., collected together with
C. h. rohustus on the 8th of August, 1900, and one male of the first form from the
Elk River, Cogar's Mills, W. Va.
This peculiar form of C. hartonii resembles C. b. longulus in the form of the
rostrum, the wide gape of the fingers of the large claw, and in the absence of a
sub-orbital angle. In other respects it is very different from longulus, especially
in the shape of the chela which is strongly depressed, with deep longitudinal
furrows at the base of the immovable finger, both above and below, as in C. h.
rohustus, while in C. h. longulus the fingers are cylindrical and bearded within
at the base. The characteristic gape of the fingers is not present in regenerated
claws, which are furnished with very long straight fingers whose cutting edges are
straight and meet together throughout their whole length.

CAMBAEUS BAETONII ASPEEIMANUS, subsp. nov.


Even as these pages are going to press, two specimens of a peculiar,
new race of C. hartonii are sent to me from the U. S. National Museum,— males
of the first form, collected by Messrs. P. C. Standley and H. C. Bolman in
Flat Creek, near Montreat, Buncombe Co., N. C , Sept. 1, 1913. C. hartonii
hartonii was also collected at the same time and place. The new form is conspicu-
ously different from any previously known race of C. hartonii in having scattered
coarse setae upon the chelae, which are moreover deeply and coarsely pitted,
with a tendency toward corrugation; the inner border of the propodus is fur-
nished with a cristiform row of from five to seven teeth; the dorsal face of the
carapace is extremely smooth and shows hardly a trace of the customary pits
or impressed dots except a row along the margin of the rostrum; even on the
areola the dots are scarcely visible without high magnification; finally, the ante-
rior process of the epistoma is broadly truncate in front.
Such are the diagnostic characters of this sub-species, which in other regards
agrees pretty closely with typical C. hartonii. The hooks of the third segment
of the third pair of legs are acute and attenuated at the tip.

George's Co. (U. S. N. M.); Indian Creek, Beltsville Prince George's Co. (U. S.
N. M.); NOETH CAEOLINA: Halifax, Halifax Co. (U. S. N. M.).
As noted above under Cambarus hartonii rohustus, specimens from Fredericks-
burg, Va. (M. C. Z., Nos. 3,615, 3,797) approach closely to the form acuminatus
and seem to exemplify a transition from rohustus to acuminatus.

CAMBAEUS BAETONII LAEVIS, subsp. nov.

This form of C. hartonii differs from the typical race in having the carapace
smoother and less conspicuously punctated, the posterior section proportion-
ately longer, being equal in length to the distance from the cervical groove to
the root of the eye-stalks; this lengthening of the hind section of the carapace
involves a long areola which is also not merely relatively but also absolutely
392 CRAYFISHES.

narrower than in the typical C. bartonii; the areola is so narrow as to allow barely
room for two closely approximated longitudinal rows of dots; the rostrum is a
little longer than in C. bartonii, with more convergent margins and a longer
acumen; the upper or superior border of the hand and movable finger are more
distinctly tuberculate; the fingers are shorter, stronger, and more heavily ribbed,
and the outer border of the immobile one is more heavily and coarsely punctate.
The posterior internal spine of the carpus is obsolete; the anterior process of the
epistoma is more broadly triangular.
Type specimen, M. C. Z., No. 3,812, W. S. Blatchley, Bloomington, Ind.

length of areola, 14 mm., breadth of areola at middle, 1 mm., length of right
chela, 24 mm., length of right dactylus, 16 mm.

22,204), May's Cave, Monroe Co., Ind. (U. S. N. M., No. 19,740).
The peculiarities of this crayfish, which appears to be a common form in the
State of Indiana, were first pointed out in my Notes on North American Cray-
fishes, Proc. U. S. Nat. Mus., 1890, 12, p. 622. It has been described and
figured, as C. bartonii, by Mr. W. P. Hay in the Twentieth Ann. Rep. of the
Department of Geology and Natural Resources of Indiana, 1896, p. 437-489.
The features which distinguish it from the typical form of C. bartonii are so pro-
nounced as to render it necessary to mark it as a subspecies of C. bartonii if not
as a valid species. In the great relative length of the posterior section of the
carapace it resembles C. bartonii tenebrosus Hay from the Mammoth Cave of
Kentucky.
According to letters which I received from Dr. John Sloan of New Albany,
Ind., in the year 1883, this crayfish was always found by him in that region to be
a denizen of standing ponds and still water, being replaced by C. sloanii in the
running streams. On the contrary, both Mr. W. P. Hay (I. c, p. 489) and Mr.
A. M. Banta (The Fauna of Mayfield's Cave, Carnegie Inst, of Washington,
Publ. No. 67, Sept. 1907, p. 73-75) aver that it is most commonly found in springs
and small streams of clear running water where it seeks concealment under stones
or in shallow burrows.
Messrs. Hay and Banta have found this form a frequent inhabitant of the
caves of southern Indiana in company with the blind species, C. pellucidus.
Those that dwell in the caves appear to attain a greater size than those in the
surface waters, specimens in the Mitchell Caves, Lawrence Co., often exceeding
CRAYFISHES. 393

100 mm. in length according to Banta, while those from the outside do not exceed
84 mm. A series of fifty-eight specimens from the outside waters compared
with a series of six specimens from Mayfield's Cave, Monroe Co., by Mr. Banta
revealed the fact that the antennae of the cave specimens avex^aged 11.89 p. c.
longer than the antennae of specimens taken outside the caves in the immediate
vicinity. The cave series was also lighter-coloured than the series from above
ground.

CAMBAEUS GRAYSONI, sp. nov.

Cephalothorax robust, posterior section high, flattened on the back and


compressed laterally so that the sides are nearly vertical, giving to the whole
section a subquadrangular aspect; shell densely punctated on the dorsal face,
granulated on the lateral surfaces; distance from the tip of the rostrum to the
cervical groove one and one half times the length from the cervical groove to the
posterior end of the carapace; there are no lateral spines upon the carapace
and only the rudiments of the branch'ostegal spines; the areola is narrow (1.5
mm. broad at the middle in a specimen measuring 21 mm. from the cervical
groove to the posterior border of the carapace) with but two rows of dots along
the narrow part of its course; rostrum short, margins slightly convergent, middle
excavated, acumen short, upturned at the tip, without lateral spines or teeth;
post-orbital ridges low, without spines; sub-orbital angles well marked but
blunt.
Abdomen as long as the cephalothorax, smooth, pleural angles rounded.
Chelipeds short in proportion to the body; merus short, with low tubercles
near the distal end of the superior margin and spines biserially arranged on the
lower face; carpus deeply furrowed along the upper face, armed with a
prominent median internal acute thorn or spine, one or two small tubercles in
place of a median posterior spine; an inferior median spine, with sometimes a
small tubercle between it and the interior median spine completes the armature
of the carpus; the chela is short, broad and triangular, articulated wdth the carpus
in such a way as to assume a vertical position when flexed and to form with its
fellow a shield or operculum appressed to the front of the body; this conforma-
tion of the chelae is a sure token of the burrowing habits of this species; the inner
(or superior) margin of the palm, is very short, with a marginal row of five or six
low tubercles; immediately within this row (which forms a serrate edge to the
hand) is another row of similar though smaller tubercles, with vestiges of a few
more irregularly disposed near the articulation of the dactylus; the fingers

are rather short, strongly curved downward or inward, not conspicuously ribbed,
their prehensile margins armed with rounded teeth, the free edge of the dactylus
furnished with low, ciliated, squamous tubercles.
Antennal scale small, narrow. Anterior process of the epistome broad,
truncate, anterior border concave, with a median tooth. Sexual organs of male
and female similar to those of C. hartonii.
Dimensions of a female specimen:—length, 113 mm. length of cephalotho-
rax, 54 mm., breadth, 29 mm., height of do., 21 mm.; length of areola, 21 mm.,

M. C. Z., No. 3,593.
This species is nearly related to C. ortmanni. Its form, like that of C. ort-
manni, denotes a species of f ossorial habits, but not so preeminently addicted to
subterranean life as the species of the C. diogenes group, in which the cephalo-
thorax suffers a greater lateral compression. Comxpared with C. ortmanni,
C. graysoni is more depressed dorsally, more heavily punctated, the areola is
broader (as broad as in the typical form of C. latimanus) the m.etathorax some-
what shorter in proportion to the prothorax, the suborbital angle is much more
salient, the anterior process of the epistoma is deeply emarginate in front, with a
prominent spine at the bottom of the emargination, the internal carpal spine is
acute even in old and large examples, and the tubercles of the inner (superior)
margin of the hand are stronger and biserially disposed.
The specimens which form the types of C. graysoni were referred to C. har-
tonii in my Revision of the Astacidae, p. 61, 159,169. The peculiarities of the
chelipeds, however, show that they belong to a distinct species, allied to C.
ortmanni and C. latimanus and forming together with these species a group con-
necting C. hartonii and its near allies with C. diogenes and the nearly related pre-
eminently burrowing forms.

Camharus ortmanni, a burrowing species, was described by Mr. E. B. Wil-


liamson from specimens captured in Wells Co., Ind., in the Wabash River drain-
age near Bluff ton. There has been a single female specimen from Cincinnati, 0.,

however, in the Museum of Comparative Zoology since the early days of the
Museum. This specimen. No. 243, was referred to C. hartonii by Dr. Hagen in
his Monograph and entered into his computation of the variability of the width
of the areola of that species, on p. 78. In my subsequent Revision of the Asta-
cidae, in 1885, p. 64, I referred to this individual as possibly a pecuHar species
related to C. latimanus.
In the shape of the body and the narrow areola C. ortmanni bears a close
resemblance to C. latimanus striatus, but in the outline of the rostrum and the
sculpture of the claws it betrays a closer resemblance to C. hartonii. It is without
'doubt an immediate offshoot of the latter, modified by fossorial habits; the nar-
row areola, broad, conical claws, small antennal scale, long, narrow and quad-
rangular epistome, all denote this. It forms a passage from C. hartonii to C.
latimanus on the one hand and on the other to the more eminently fossorial forms,
C. carolinus, C. diogenes, etc.

CAMBAEUS LATIMANUS (Le Conte).


There is a cotype, a dried male, in the Museum of Comparative Zoology,
No. 3,378, acquired by exchange of types with the Smithsonian Institution in
1861; another cotype, a dried female, is preserved in the collection of the Acad-
emy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia. There are also in the Museum of
Comparative Zoology, No. 236, preserved in alcohol, 3 males of the first form, 6
males of the second form, 3 females, and 7 young, collected in Athens, Ga., and
sent to Professor Agassiz by LeConte in the 50's. These are essentially para-
types, and are of interest as fixing the type locality, Athens, Ga., which was not
specified in Le Conte's original description of the species nor on the labels accom-
panying the type specimens in Cambridge and Philadelphia.
Two males, dried, M. C. Z., No. 3,366, sent by Prof. Lewis R. Gibbes from
South Carolina as C. hartonii, without precise locality, are the only specimens
reported from South Carolina so far as I know.
A small young female from Milledgeville, Ga. (M. C. Z., No. 3,365) and
another from Roswell, Ga. (M. C. Z., No. 3,502) probably belong to this species.
Specimens from Blount Spring and Cullman, Ala. (U. S. N. M., No. 4,953,
M. C. Z., No. 3,639) differ from the typical form in having a narrower rostrum,
and in specimens from Bridgeport, Ala., and Nickajack Cave, Ashland City,
and Nashville, Tenn., the divergence from the type is so pronounced that Mr.
W. P. Hay has described them as a subspecies, C. latimanus striatus (Proc. U. S.
Nat. Mus., 1902, 25, p. 437; type locality, Nashville, Tenn.).
396 CRAYFISHES.

Mr. C. F. Baker has sent me a fine lot of C. latimanus from Auburn, Ala.,
among them specimens that have attained a length of four inches.

CAMBARUS CAROLINUS Erichson.

This species was described in 1846 (Arch. Naturgesch., 12, 1, p. 96). Erich-
son's type, a male of the first form, is preserved in the Berlin Museum. It was
collected by Dr. Cabanis, who assured Dr. Hagen that all the crayfishes that he
collected in the United States came from a rivulet in a plantation called Tiger
Hall, near Greenville, S. C.^ In 1902 Mr. W. P . Hay procured from Dr. Johann
Thiele of Berlin a photograph of the type specimen together with drawings of
the right claw and first and second abdominal appendages. By means of this
photograph and the drawings Mr. Hay identified the species with the crayfish
which I described in 1884, from Cranberry Summit (now Terra Alta), Preston
Co., W. Va., under the anme of Cambarus duhius (see Hay, Proc. Biol. Soc.
Washington, 15, March 5, 1902, p. 38.
By the courtesy of Mr. Hay I have before me Dr. Thiele's photograph and
drawings of Erichson's type, and find that, although it nearly resembles C. duhius,
yet it presents some different characters. The carpus is armed on its inner
margin with two prominent, acute spines; of these the larger, anterior one is
the so-called internal median carpal spine; on the left cheliped the photograph
reveals a tubercle just behind, and at a lower level than, the median spine.
In C. duhius there is but one carpal spine, the internal median. Furthermore,
the outer margin of the hand of C. carolinus, as shown in Dr. Thiele's drawing,
is rounded off and lacks the subserrate ridge characteristic of C. duhius; in this
regard the hand of C. carolinus appears to be like that of C. monongalensis
Ortm.
No. 14,314, U. S. N. M., male, form I., "among the Cherokees, James
Mooney," agrees closely with the pictures of Erichson's type, and may be con-
sidered a typical C. carolinus. In a notice of this specimen as C. duhius in 1890
(Proc. U. S. Nat. Mus., 12, p. 624), I erred in ascribing it to the Indian Territory.
I am advised by Mr. Mooney that it was in reality obtained in Swain Co. or
in Jackson Co., N. C , among the Eastern Cherokees,— a remnant of the Nation
which eluded deportation in 1838 and still clings to the old home in western North

^ Mr. W. P . H a y (Proc. Biol. Soc. Washington, 15, p. 38, 1902) has unfortunately given this local-
ity as tvestern North Carolina, and has been followed in this error by Mr. J. A. Harris (Kansas Univ.
Sci. Bull., 1903, 2, p. 81, 142, 154).

Carolina.^ It thus appears that Mr. Mooney's crayfish came from a region not
far remote from the type locality of C. carolinus.
In this specimen (U. S. N. M., No. 14,314), which displays the normal fea-
tures of C. carolinus, as I believe, the rostrum is narrower than in C. duhius
and less quadrangular in outline; the anterior process of the epistoma is much
broader and more triangular in outline, the sides converging much more between
the base and the truncated anterior angle; the carpus is armed with a prominent,
acute, internal median spine, immediately behind which and at a little lower level
lies a very small spiny tubercle; posteriorly to this, not far from the inner articu-
lation with the merus, lies another distinct spine, smaller than the internal
median spine; the lower face of the carpus bears one tubercle about half-waj^
between the internal median spine and the outer articulation with the propodus;
the lower face of the merus shows the biserial arrangement of spines as in C.
duhius, as many as five or six spines adorning the external edge of the segment;
the distal segment of the outer branch of the last pair of abdominal appendages
is shorter and broader (less oval in contour) than in C. dubius. The living color
of this specimen, as is shown by a MS. note accompanying the specimen, was
red, the color of C. dubius also.
A large number of specimens in the U. S. National Museum collected at
various places in the southwestern part of West Virginia (Nos. 28,591-28,596,
28,598-28,600, Horsepen Creek, War Creek, Baileysville, Lashmeet, Barranche
Creek), agreeing in most respects with the typical C. duhius from northern West
Virginia and Pennsylvania tend to develop the accessory carpal spines and
tubercles of C. carolinus.
Three specimens (male, form I.) in the U. S. National Museum, No.
22,386, from a tributary of Stone River twenty miles from Columbia in cen-
tral Tennessee are interesting. They agree in most respects with C. c. duhius,
but the rostrum is a little narrower, with more convergent margins, the rostral
acumen is less abrupt, and the outer border of the hand is rounded off with-
out much indication of serrature. In these regards the specimens agree with
the typical carolinus; the carpus, however, is very smooth, bearing no spines
except the internal median, as in 0. c. dubius. The outer inferior row of spines
on the merus is present, though slightly developed. The branchio-cardiac
Hnes are in closer contact than in any other specimens of this species that I
have seen, reducing the areola to a narrow line.

398 CRAYFISHES.

The closely related Blue or Monongahela Crayfish was first discovered at


Pittsburgh, Pa., in 1898, by Mr. E. B. Williamson. Specimens were sent to
me in the month of August of that year, which appeared to me to be a local form
of C. duhius, and they were recorded as such by Mr. Williamson in a paper on
the Crayfish of Allegheny County, Pennsylvania (Ann. Carnegie Mus., 1901,
1, p. 11). Compared with the type of C. duhius these specimens showed a
narrower rostrum with less pronounced angles at the base of the acumen; the
outer border of the hand was evenly rounded, not ridged, and destitute of the
imperfect serrature seen in C. duhius, v/here this feature results from the regular
row of transversely elongated marginal punctations giving to the margin a
milled appearance; further, the carpus of the Pittsburgh form was armed with
several accessory spines and tubercles, besides the prominent internal median
spine which is all the armature of the carpus in C. duhius.
In a paper on the Crawfishes of western Pennsylv^ia published in 1905
(Ann. Carnegie Mus., 3, No. 2) and in a more elaborate memoir which appeared
at the close of the following year (The Crawfishes of the State of Pennsylvania,
Mem. Carnegie Mus., 2, No. 10), Dr. A. E. Ortmann showed that the Blue Cray-
fish and C. duhius both lived in western Pennsylvania, that they occupied differ-
ent areas separated by the Chestnut Ridge, a range of hills on the west of the
Allegheny Mountains, the Blue Crayfish (to which he gave the name Camharus
monongalensis) being found on the hills lying on the west of this range while C.
duhius lived in the mountain region to the east of Chestnut Ridge, between it and
the principal range of the Allegheny Mountains. Dr. Ortmann also brought
out clearly, as a result of extensive field study, the color-difference between the
two forms, the dominant color of C. duhius being red, of C. monongalensis blue.
The range of the latter form appears to be rather narrow, being restricted, as far
as is shown by Dr. Ortmann's most interesting investigations, to Westmore-
land, Allegheny, Beaver, Washington, Fayette and Green Counties, Pa., and
Hancock, Brooke, Ohio, Marshall and Monongalia Counties, W. Va., at altitudes
ranging from 800 feet to 1200 feet above the sea-level.
Dr. Ortmann compared his specimens of C. monongalensis with the northern
race of C. carolinus, i. e., C. duhius Fax., and came to the conclusion that they
represented a distinct species. But as appears from what has been said above,
three of the characters which Ortmann thought were peculiar to C. monongalensis
are also present in the southern, typical form of C. carolinus, viz., the narrower
rostrum, non-serrated outer margin of the hand, and the presence of more than
one spine on the inner side of the carpus. There are thus left but two features
CRAYFISHES. 399

to separate C. monongalensis from C. carolinus, viz., the uniserial disposition


of the spines on the lower face of the merus of the cheliped, and the colour.
So, with a broader overlook of the geographical variations of these interest-
ing forms it would seem to be more logical to consider C. carolinus Erichs., C.
duUus Fax. and C. monongalensis Ortm. as three geographical races, or subspecies
of one species. The three subspecies may be distinguished by means of the sub-
joined key:—

GreenviUe, Greenville Co., S. C. The specimen in the U. S. National Museum,


collected by James Mooney and described above, came from Swain or Jackson
(•0., western North Carolina. Ortmann (Mem. Carnegie Mus., 2, p. 397) men-
tions some specimens in the Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia,
collected by Prof. J. P. Moore at Blowing Rock, Watauga Co., N. C , which
have a narrower rostrum than C. c. dubius, and are therefore probably C. c.
carolinus.
Specimens collected by Mr. H. G. Hubbard at Pennington's Gap, Lee Co.,
Va. (M. C. Z., No. 3,489) and by myself at Cumberland Gap, at the junction
of the three states of Virginia, Kentucky and Tennessee (M. C. Z., No. 3,594)
are too young to determine subspecifically with assurance, but they appear to
be C. c. dubius. The form spread over the southwestern parts of West Virginia,
as has been pointed out (p. 397) is more or less intermediate between carolinus
and dubius, while the pure C. c. dubius has been reported from Westmoreland,
Fayette, and Somerset Cos., Pa., Garrett Co., Md., and Preston, Tucker, and
Mineral Cos., W. Va.

Mr. W. P . H a y captured one specimen of this species near Beaufort, N . C ,


Aug. 17, 1912. This specimen, a female, was taken from a hole in the bank of a
pond on the south side of Adley's Creek, about fourteen miles north of Beaufort.
On the other side of the same creek, about a mile away, Mr. H a y collected three
specimens of C. diogenes (also females) in holes on the edge of a swamp. The
specimen of C. uhleri differs from the type specimens from Maryland b u t very
slightly, the rostrum being a trifle more concave above, and the foveola at the
base of the rostrum rather more pronounced.
Uhler's Crayfish has heretofore been known only from the tidewater Ocean
and Bay counties of eastern Maryland.

mises that it belongs in the neighbourhood of C cubensis; 1 should incline rather,
on account of the structure of the annulus ventralis and the shape of the body,
to place it in C. bartonii group.
