Abstract
RECENTLY, two species of crabs, widely distributed on the Atlantic coast of the United States of America, were found in Danish waters. Since there is a possibility that especially one of them may be living in Britain and elsewhere but has been overlooked, I report here some details of the recent and of previous finds of the two species.
