Book Description

Excerpt from The Crustacea of Devon and Cornwall No other portion of the British Islands has been worked by so many students interested in Carcinology as one or two Southwestern Counties. Montagu, and Leach, with his friends who collected for him; Jonathan andR. Q.Couch; that excellent naturalist F. W. P.Cocks;and, in more recent years, Spence Bate, Parfitt, Stebbing, Beaumont, Garstang, and Bassett-Smith, with many others, have from time to time added to our knowledge of the Crustacean Fauna. Nevertheless additions have been made during the last few years even among the Podophthalma; and after the publication of this volume, whiich very considerably extends our knowledge of the lower Orders, much will still remain to reward future workers, especially from dredging in 20 to 40 fathoms, where undoubtedly large numbers of Sympoda, Isopoda, Amphipoda, Ostracoda, and Copepoda may yet be found.
