The Crustacea are a group of back-boneless or invertebrate animals, distinguished by the possession of a more or less hard jointed external crust or exosheleton, nearly all living habitually in water, and breathing by means of Of the Crustacea the distinguished from the gills large group of the Malacostraca arc Entomostraca) by the number rest (the of the segments of the body, of which there are always twenty, except in certain cases in which amalgamation or abortion of one or more of the segments has taken place Taking as a readily obtainable example of the Malacostracous common prawn* (Penceus canal iculatus of Milne- Crustacea the Edwards), we find that it consists of two clearly distinguishable an anterior shield-like portion bearing the eyes and parts feelers and extencU^back over about a third of the length of the body, and a posterior portion, distinguished by being divided by transverse lines into rings or segments which are found to be freely moveable on one another, so as to confer a considerable degree of flexibility on this posterior region of the "When one of these rings or segments is examined body a high convex dorsal separately, it is found to consist above of on either side arch, and below of a narrow straight ventral bar ; the dorsal arch sends bar is down a free fold or flap, so that the ventral situated in a deep longitudinal hollow or groove enclosed The dorsal arch of each segment overlaps to a these between the ventral bars are considerable extent that following it wide another from one spaces occupied by a thin by separated ; translucent is membrane the sternal membrane The dorsal arch called the tergum, the ventral bar the sternum, the side flaps * The term Prawn is very generally applied in Australia to species of the Palamon being less widely known as a article of diet genus Penceus, the genus INTEODUCTION VI are the pleura, while the portion of the sternum interposed on either side between the point of insertion of the appendage and is called the Each of these segments is epimeron found to possess a pair of appendages the swimmerets each attached by a movable joint to the sternum When one of these appendages is detached, it is found to consist of a thick two- the pleuron jointed basal portion the protopodite and two long narrow compressed laminae made up of numerous very short transverse segments the outer and larger of these laminae is called the In all exopodite ; the inner the endopodite of the appendage there are seen to be six segments having the general character described above The first three are rounded above but the ; ; especially the last, present a sharp dorsal keel, and the appendages of the first and of the last segments differ considerably rest, in shape and position from those of the others The appendages of the first segment are uniramous in both wfewwofar-, in the male a broad membrane the petasma is attached by a narrow stalk to the basal joint, and is united to its fellow in the middle in the female the line by a series of minute hooked spines ; petasma is rudimentary in the male, but not in the female, the second pair of appendages has a rudimentary third branch The ; last pair of appendages are articulated at the hinder extremity of the segment, instead of being attached near the middle of the under surface the basal portion protopodite is very large and stout, and the endopodite and exopodite are developed into ; Lying between and above these appendages, and manner of an additional a narrow pointed body the telson The whole of broad plates articulating with their segments, after the segment, is this hinder jointed portion of the the abdomen The body of the Prawn is called portion of the body is called the ceplialotliorax The apparent absence of segmentation is due to the development of the great dorsal shield anterior, apparently unjointed, or carapace, into which the dorsal portions of the skeleton of the segments have coalesced the several segments being, with the exception of the last, so incapable of motion intimately connected and fused as to be on one another On the lower or ventral the cephalothorax, however, the segmentation is the sterna of the constituent somites being distinct enough surface of readily traceable The carapace is produced in front into a long INTEODUCTION pointed process the rostrum ; its middle portion corresponds to the terga of the segments or somites which it covers the side portions which constitute a pair of broad flaps covering the gills ; and corresponding to the pleura of the cephalothoracic segments, The appendages are called the brancliiostegites or gill-covers belonging to the cepthalothorax may be conveniently regarded as falling into two groups the appendages of the head or The division cephalon, and the appendages of the thorax between the two is indicated by a fold the cervical fold at the side of the mouth, and Fig a, e, Mandibles ; b, exopodite ; marked out

as thus marked off, consists INTEODUCTION Vlll of eight segments the last of which is movable on the rest and each of these eight segments bears a pair of appendages The appendages of the last five of these are the ambulatory and Each of these consists of an exopodite and endoprehensile legs the is quite rudimentary, the limb being constiformer podite ; ; tuted by the endopodite The endopodite of each limb consists of seven joints the basal joint is called the coxa or coxopodite ; the second the basus, basos, or basipodite is ; the third is the ischium or ischiopodite ; the fourth is the meros, merus, or meropodite ; the fifth is the carpus or carpopodite ; the sixth the propodos or propodite ; the seventh and last is the dactylos, dactylus, or Attached to the coxopodite is a branchial appenthe The first three of these five posterior dage epipodite thoracic appendages take the form of pincers or chelce ; the last two end in simple pointed claws the chelate form is brought dactylopodite ; about by the production of the propodite beyond the point of insertion of the dactylopodite into a slender process extending as far as the extremity of the latter In these chelate thoracic appendages the meropodite is frequently designated the arm, the carpopodite the wrist, the propodite the hand, the distal prolongation of the latter the immobile finger, and the dactylopodite the mobile finger The three anterior pairs of thoracic appendages are the onaxillipedes or foot-jaws The last of these has an inner division or endopodite very similar in appearance to the last two pairs of ambulatory legs, and having the same number of joints its exopodite, however, is much larger than in the case of the ambulatory limbs, consisting of a long compressed, : the epipodite is similar to those of the many-jointed palp ambulatory legs In the second pair of maxillipedes the endopodite is much shorter and the joints more compressed than in ; the third The first pair of maxillipedes is constructed on a the endopodite takes the form of an ovate hairbordered plate the exopodite is slender and palpiform, and has on its outer side a delicate membranous lamella the epipodite different plan ; ; ; consists of a membranous lamina without branchial The appendages of two sorts ; of the segments of the head or cephalon are those attached round the mouth and connected viz., the two pairs of maxillae and the manand the sensory appendages attached to the front of the with mastication dibles filaments INTRODUCTION" IX the antenna, the antennules, and the eyes The much resemble the first pair of maxillipedes in general appearance, the coxopodite and basipodite are produced inwards in the form of deeply bilobed lamellae fringed head, viz., second pair of maxillae internally with short hairs the ischium forms a short process internal to this the other joints being undeveloped the exopodite and epipodite combine to form a broad plate the ; ; scaphognathite which lies in the cervical fold, and during life is constantly in motion, scooping the water out of the branchial cavity, and thus causing a constant current to flow over the gills The first pair of maxillae consist of three parts two thick internal plates, bordered with stout bristles, and representing probably the coxopodite and the basipodite, and an external palpiform appendage provided at the end with a few longish hairs The mandibles consist of two parts a thick hard body, obscurely toothed internally, and a large leaf-like appendage of the segment bearing the mandibles is called the The sternum endostome or palate the mouth In front of the mandibles and overhanging a fleshy median prominence the labritm In front of the orifice of the mouth (buccal orifice) is a flat space, not very wide in the Prawn, and hidden by the appendages of the is mandibles, which corresponds to the sternum of the next preceding or antennary somite, and is termed the epistome The antennce (or external antennce as they are frequently termed by systematists in contradistinction to the internal antennce or antennules) consist of a short basal the coxicerite, joint on which is situated the orifice of the "green gland," or supposed renal organ a second, broad and short joint, the basioerite, to which is articulated externally the scaphicerite, squame, or exopodite of the antennae an elongate scale a third, fourth, ; ; and fifth joints, narrower than the preceding, and called merocerite and carpocerite, and respectively the ischiocerite, articulated with the last an extremely long many-jomtedflagellum or procerite The appendages of the next antecedent somite are the antennules or internal antennae which is and of two terminal many-jointed filaments joints, the first of hearing, These consist of three basal enlarged and contains the organ of which in the Prawn are very short The first the fiagella pairjjf cephalic X INTRODUCTION appendages are the stalked eyes, the stalk or peduncle of which a short hasal portion the basiophthahnitc, and a consists of larger terminal portion its the podophthalmite bearing the eye at extremity The body of the Prawn segments or somites, thorax, and six to the thus seen to consist of twenty is belonging to the head, eight to the six abdomen The breathing organs of the Prawn consist of gills or "bronchia situated in the cavities enclosed on either side of the thorax by the branchiostegites or lateral folds of the carapace These branchiae in the Prawn are of the kind termed trichobranchice, i.e., they consist of a central stem, from which are given numerous filaments lateral They are twenty in off number altogether in the Prawn, exclusive of the branchial epipodites already mentioned as connected with the bases of the legs Two of the gills in each thoracic segment, except the last, are attached to the first and membrane between the sternum and the coxa of the appendage the first thoracic appendage has one gill in that position, and the last none one gill is united to ; ; the surface of the pleuron above the base of each of the thoracic limbs except the first The organs enclosed cavity The heart is it receives from the pericardial sinus through certain in its walls the blood brought back from the gills by vessels carapace slits Prawn consist of a heart and a polygonal sac situated in an the pericardial sinus immediately below the of circulation of the blood-vessels ; called the branchio-cardiac vessels the heart from the The blood thus returned to propelled to the various tissues and six arterial of the trunks, five anterior and one body by organs gills is posterior, and eventually finds its way into large irregular illdefined vessels or sinuses, from which it is conveyed to the gills by the afferent branchial vessels of digestion of the Prawn consist of an abmentary into oesophagus, stomach, and intestine, and divided canal, extending through nearly the whole length of the body from the
