Extract

It is difficult to rear crabs from the egg, and few experiments of the kind have been successful. It is intended in these studies of the Plymouth Brachyura to rear as many species as possible from the berried crab, and thus to ascertain without doubt the larvæ of each species in all stages, so that they may be recognisable in the plankton.

The members of the Oxyrhyncha so far observed in the Plymouth district are the following:-

Inachus Dorsettensis (Pennant), Inachus Dorynchus Leach, Macropodia longirostris (Fabricius), Macropodia Egyptia A. Milne-Edwards, Macropodia rostratus (L.), Achæus Cranchii Leach, Maia squinado (Herbst), Pisa biaculeata (Montagu), Hyas araneus (L.), Hyas coarcticus Leach, Eurynome aspera (Pennant).
