It appears to be the only crayfish which exists in the waters which flow from the south into the Gulf of Finland and into the Baltic; except in those streams and lakes which have been artificially connected with the Volga, and in which it is partially replaced by A.
There is no evidence that our crayfish has been purposely introduced by human agency into Great Britain; and from the mode of life of crayfish and the manner in which the eggs are carried about by the parent during their development, transport by birds or floating timber would seem to be out of the question.

FLYING OR MOVABLE BASE 249 Russian admiral was last seen heading north-west on the morning of Saturday last, and that, continuing on his present course, he must either make for the Gulf of Tartary or traverse the Straits of La Pe'rouse and enter the ocean.
The Gulf of Tartary is not completely open to navigation before the end of May, and this fact may partly explain the long inactivity of the Vladivostok division, since at an earlier period this avenue of escape would not have been open.
There are at Vladivostok ships like the Lena1 which might serve as storeships and colliers, and might easily have left port with the admiral and have been given a rendezvous at Nikolaievsk or elsewhere.

 Lapérouse biography
It showed approximately the Tartary coast but also showed very incorrect lands and islands to the east that Lapérouse would soon be able to disprove or radically change.
However, the French soon began to realise that a narrow strait did not exist and that, in fact, the Tartary coast was bounded by the wide Gulf of Tartary.
Over the next few weeks, Lapérouse gave names to many features around the Gulf of Tartary but hardly any are still in use so it is often difficult to match his names with the features he intended to use them for.

Pecten phrygium Dall, 1886, from the Mexican Gulf is, as was pointed out by Waller (personal communication, April 21, 1981) and treated by Woodring (1982), undoubtedly another representative of Cryptopecten, because the surface sculpture and many other characters are essentially similar to the type-species.
Pecten muscosus Wood, 1828, from the Mexican Gulf, which was assigned to Cryptopecten by Shikama (1964), does not seem to belong to this genus in view of the large wings and spiny (not imbricated) scales on the radial ribs.
This genus is well represented on the Atlantic coast of the United States, Gulf of Mexico and Caribbean Sea, and a few species are also known in the eastern Pacific from California to Chile (Grau, 1959; Waller, 1969).
