J. nat. Hist., 1967, 1 : 399-411 Syntypes of Decapoda described by William Stimpson and James Dana in the collections of the British Museum (Natural History) ANGELA C. EVANS British Museum (Nat. Hist.), London Introduction Among the collections of Crustacea in the British Museum (Natural History) a considerable amount of type material has recently been located in two collections received in 1861, of which the significance had not previously been appreciated. One of the collections (Reg. No. 61.44) was presented by the Smithsonian Institution, Washington, D.C. and the entry in the registration book reads " mostly types selected compared and labelled by Wm. Stimpson ", while the other (Reg. No. 61.45) was purchased from William Stimpson. Both of these collections contain specimens of 'syntypes described by Stimpson, and, in addition, collection 61.44 contains specimens of sjoitypes selected and described by James Dana between 1851 and 1853 from the collections of the United States Exploring Expedition during the years 1838-1842 (see ^Haskell, 1942, p. 79 for dates of publication of Dana Report). The ' rediscovery ' of this syntype material is of particular importance in view of Stimpson's interesting and chequered career, culminating in the tragic destruction of the majority of his material in the great fire of Chicago in 1871. William Stimpson was born on 14 February 1832, in Roxbury, Massachusetts. Energetic by nature and witty, he enjoyed company. He became interested in natural history at a relatively young age. After graduating from High School in 1848 he entered, on his father's advice, a firm of engineers, but in 1850 left to study under Professor J. L. R. Agassiz at Cambridge, Massachusetts. He accompanied Agassiz on many collecting trips and in 1852 was appointed as naturalist to the North Pacific Exploring Expedition. Stimpson spent four years with the expedition collecting in Madeira, along the Californian coast, in the North Pacific, the Bering Straits, Tahiti, Hong Kong, the China Seas and around the Cape of Good Hope. Approximately 980 different species of Crustacea alone were collected but the majority of these specimens were destroyed some 20 years later during the Chicago fire. In 1856, Stimpson returned from the North Pacific Expedition and began to work on his collections at the Smithsonian Institution. His summers were spent in the company of such naturalists as Verrill, Hyatt, Shaler and Morse, on dredging expeditions round the North American coast. He also visited Britain in order to accompany coastal dredging expeditions. It was during this period that he was put in charge of the Department of Invertebrates at the Smithsonian Institution and in 1860 the University of Columbia conferred on him the honorary degree of Doctor of Medicine, in recognition of his services to science. He was appointed Curator and Secretary of the Chicago Academy of Science in 1865 and a year later became Director. About this time the trustees decided

400 Angela C. Evans to erect a fire-proof museum building and this was completed in 1868. The building occupied an area of 50 X 55 ft and was 50 ft high. The walls were 2 ft thick with a central air space, the floors were composed of brick and iron and the stairways and principal doors were also made of iron. This structure was considered to be so fire-proof that it was not insured, yet in October 1871 it was totally destroyed in the Chicago fire. Stimpson had stored in the building the collections made on the North Pacific Expedition and specimens collected on his many expeditions along the coasts of North America. At the time of the fire, he had on loan from the Smithsonian Institution more than 10 000 jars of Crustacea, many of which contained type material described by James Dana. All of this material was lost, together with many of Stimpson's manuscripts, drawings and library, which only a few weeks previously he had gathered together from his own and his father's homes, Professor Agassiz's laboratory and the Smithsonian Institution. This tragedy so seriously affected Stimpson's already faihng health, that he died at Ilchester, Maryland, on 26 May 1872, at the early age of 40. Stimpson had extensive correspondence with friends and various societies and a world-wide system of exchanges. It was as a result of this system that the British Museum came into possession of some of his specimens. It is difficult to trace whether other institutions may also have received syntype material, but it is possible that specimens were deposited in the Smithsonian Institution, Yale College, and the Museum of Comparative Zoology, Harvard. It was obviously not widely known that Stimpson had deposited type material in the British Museum and various authors have considered that the types of several of his species were lost. The bibliography to this paper includes references to those of Stimpson's papers which deal more particularly with crustaceans but for a complete list of his papers the reader should consult the biographical memoir by Mayer (1918). The species described by Stimpson and by Dana are listed separately below under their original combination. The systematic arrangement follows Bales (1957) with the original Stimpson and Dana group designation in square brackets after the specific name. I am grateful to Dr. I. Gordon, Dr. A. L. Rice and Mr. R. W. Ingle for their interest in this work.

Fiji Islands Summary Syntypical specimens of Decapod Crustacea described by William Stimpson and James Dana have recently been found in the collections of the British Museum (Nat. Hist.). This material is of considerable interest since much of Stimpson's collection was destroyed in the Great Fire of Chicago in 1871. The species are listed under their original combination according to the classification of Balss (1957). References BALSS, H. 1957. (In Bronn H. G., Editor) Klassen und Ordnungen des Tierreichs.
