Extract

A study made of the adaptations to tubicolous life found in the small brackish water Photid Amphipod, Leptocheirus pilosus Zaddach, revealed several interesting points.

The presence of cement glands in many amphipods has been recognized by several previous authors. In L. pilosus these glands are found mainly in the upper joints of the first two pairs of peraeopods, opening to the exterior through a common duct in the claw. Unicellular glands are also found all over the body, particularly on the coxal plates.
