Book Description

Excerpt from Decapod Crustaceans of the Northwest Coast of North America The Pagurida, or hermit-crabs, occur in vast numbers, and some of the species appear to have local centers of distribution. Each of these species attains its maximum development, both as to size and numbers, in a particular area, while elsewhere it is stunted and infrequent.
