Extract

The accepted accounts of the excretory organs of the Decapod Crustacea are based chiefly upon the investigations of those numerous observers who have studied Astacus fluviatilis ; the only recent memoir which attempts to deal with the arrangement of this system of organs in any other genus being the well-known work of Grobben.
