Notes on the crayfishes in the United States National Museum and the Museum of Comparative Zoology, with descriptions of new species and subspecies, to which is appended a catalogue of the known species and subspecies

By Walter Faxon. Cambridge, U.S.A: Printed for the Museum, 1914.

Published by the Museum of Comparative Zoology, Walter Faxon’s (1848-1920) Notes on the Crayfishes in the United States National Museum and the Museum of Comparative Zoology is just as the title describes. Faxon, who succeeded Dr. Hermann Hagen as the head of the Museum of Comparative Zoology’s crustacean collection, is credited with identifying numerous new species of crayfish (or crawfish, as they are known in certain regions) and publishing over 20 academic articles.
