In the brief paper here presented, it is my purpose to bring up todate my catalogue of the crayfishes of Kansas[A]by the addition of such localities and notes as have been collectedsince its appearance; to represent by means of a map the distributionby counties of the different species, and to show, so far as ispossible at the present time, the distribution of the differentspecies by river systems. The distribution by river systems has beenincluded, since I feel that a thorough knowledge of this phase of thesubject will be of interest in the determination of the phylogeneticrelationship of the different species. Of course, any conclusionsas to the distribution of the species by water systems can be onlyprovisional, since more systematic collecting will surely change anysuch conclusions. It is my desire to put the data available at presentinto such form that the addition of new data and the deduction of morecertain conclusions will be possible with the least amount of labor.
The form of the annotated catalogue has, as far as possible, beenretained. No new species have been found in the state, and there hasbeen practically no new literature of a taxonomic nature since theappearance of the catalogue. The synonomy has, therefore, been omitted.In referring to localities reported in the previous paper I shalldesignate them by numbers enclosed in parentheses, C. virilis, (3),the number being that of the locality as given in that paper—theexample given being: C. virilis, Wabaunsee county (coll. Washb.Coll.), J. B. Fields, coll. (Faxon, ’85, b.)[Pg 4]
I wish to express here my gratitude to my sister, Nellie Harris,without whose kind assistance in this and other work the appearance ofthis material at the present time would have been impossible. My thanksare also due those who have collected material in various parts of the state.
The greater part of the material belongs to the
