Excerpt from A History of the British Stalk-Eyed Crustacea I have little to say in this Preface, beyond the ex pression of my sincere regret for the delay which has occurred in the publication of the work. That delay has arisen from causes which it would not interest the public to be informed of, and which I have no wish to put forward for the sake of deprecating the displeasure or disappointment which it may have excited.

Excerpt from The Stalk-Eyed Crustacea Two Specimens, male and female, were collected at low tide on the reef at Panama, March 12. Leptopodz'a debilis is one of the many littoral Crustacea of Panama that are represented by very closely allied Species on the Atlantic side of the Isthmus. It is distinguished from Leptopodz'a sagz'tz'am'a its Atlantic represen tative, chiefly by its shorter hand, relatively longer fingers, and greater breadth across the branchial region of the carapace. The rostrum is usually shorter and inclined upward more than in L. Sagz'tlam'a; but in the type specimen (m. C. Z. No. 3948, Polvon, Nicaragua), it is exceptionally long, - more than one and a half times as long as the rest of the carapace. III average specimens of L. Debilis the rostrum is about equal in length to the rest of the carapace. The difference in the form of the male abdomen in L. Debilis and in Milne Edwards's figure of L. Sagz'flarz'a (cuvier's Régne Animal, Disciples' ed., Crustacea, Plate XXXVI. Fig. 1d), noted by Smith, arises from the inaccuracy of the figure, not from any real difference between the two species, which are alike in this regard.

Excerpt from The Stalk-Eyed Crustacea: Of British Guiana, West Indies, and Bermuda This hand-list of the Stalk-Eyed Crustacea of the western tropical and subtropical Atlantic about the West Indian Islands, of these Islands, of the muddy shore and fresh water of British Guiana, and of the fresh water of tropical America, is the result of an attempt to bring together, for the use of collectors, the description, already published in many monographs and periodicals by such naturalists as H. Milne Edwards, Dana, Stimpson, Bell, Sidney Smith, A. Milne Edwards, Kingsley, Miers, Henderson, Spence Bate, Rathbun, Brooks, and many others whose names are mentioned in the text, of these interesting animals. The name of the naturalist is placed opposite the name under which the crustacean has been described by him. The classification followed is that of H. Milne Edwards for the larger divisions of the two Orders and for the tribes of the Brachyura, otherwise the classification of the latter is that of Mr. E. J. Miers and Mr. J. S. Kingsley; excluding the fresh-water crabs properly so called, the arrangement followed being that of Miss M. J. Rathbun, who has thrown much light on the family, and to whom I take this opportunity of expressing my thanks for the assistance given me; of the Anomoura, that of Professor Henderson and A. Milne Edwards; and of the Macroura, that of Mr. Spence Bate. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

In The Wrong Place: Alien Marine Crustaceans - Distribution, Biology And Impacts provides a unique view into the remarkable story of how shrimps, crabs, and lobsters – and their many relatives – have been distributed around the world by human activity, and the profound implications of this global reorganization of biodiversity for marine conservation biology. Many crustaceans form the base of marine food chains, and are often prominent predators and competitors acting as ecological engineers in marine ecosystems. Commencing in the 1800s global commerce began to move hundreds – perhaps thousands – of species of marine crustaceans across oceans and between continents, both intentionally and unintentionally. This book tells the story of these invasions from Arctic waters to tropical shores, highlighting not only the importance and impact of all prominent crustacean invasions in the world's oceans, but also the commercial exploitation of invasive crabs and shrimps. Topics explored for the first time in one volume include the historical roots of man's impact on crustacean biogeography, the global dispersal of crabs, barnacle invasions, insights into the potential scale of tropical invasions, the history of the world's most widely cultured shrimp, the invasive history and management of red king crabs in Norway, Chinese mitten crabs in England, and American blue crabs in Europe, the evolutionary ecology of green crabs, and many other subjects as well, touching upon all ocean shores.
