Extract

Experiments performed upon decapod crustaceans have produced much information on the hormonal control of moulting in this group. So far as I am aware, however, no one has tried to discover how moulting in other groups of Crustacea is controlled. This note represents the beginning of an attempt to investigate this aspect of moulting in the Isopoda.
