HART pendant les mois d'été de 1928, une collecte a été faite de certaines des formes de rive Decapoda produisent autour de Victoria. Ces spécimens ont été examinés à l'Université de la Colombie-Britannique. De plus amples informations ont été obtenues en 1929, dans le district de Nanaimo et Victoria. Pratiquement tous ont été trouvés sur le rivage à marée basse ou en moins de trois pieds d'eau. Je remercie le Dr C. McLean Fraser de sug

. The Canadian field-naturalist. The Canadian Field-Naturalist VOL. XLIV OTTAWA, CANADA, MAY, 1930 No. 5 SOME DECAPODS FROM THE SOUTH-EASTERN SHORES OF VANCOUVER ISLAND By JOSEPHINE F. L. HART DURING the summer months of 1928, a collection was made of some of the shore forms of Decapoda occurring around Victoria. These specimens were examined at the University of British Columbia. Further material was obtained in 1929, in the Nanaimo and Victoria Districts. Practically all were found on the shore at low tide or in less than three feet of water. My thanks are due to Dr. C. McLean Fraser for suggesting the work, helping in identification, and obtaining literature. At Gonzales Point, on the southwest of Gon- zales Hill, Victoria, most of the collections in the early part of the summer of 1928 were made. This part is exposed to heavy tides most of the time and the greater part of the shore is very rocky, dropping sharply off shore, to judge by the proximity of kelp beds. The rocks have large fissures between them and these are partly filled with gravel, so that at low tide there are deep tide pools. At Brentwood Bay, there is an entirely different type of shore. It is about fifteen miles northeast of Victoria and about the same distance from the mouth of the Saanich Arm, so that it does not get the same effect of wind and tide that the beaches of Victoria and the more exposed part do. There is very little sea-weed, and the beach is of sand mixed with strong-smelling mud. At Parry Bay, the conditions resemble some- what those of Gonzales Point and the fauna is quite similar. The Bay is bounded by Albert Head on the east and William Head on the west, and is about ten miles southwest of Victoria. At Horswell Point, at the head of Departure Bay, there are loose, flat sandstone rocks, in which the water has worn hollows and crevices that form perfect hiding places for numbers of crabs. Certain species were found under similar con- ditions in the various localities studied. H
