Description

Bate states that, although the general forms of several genera of Podophthalmous Crustacea are known, the details of their structure have been so unsatisfactorily figured and described that the value and importance of hereditary elements are incapable of being studied and appreciated. Having received a collection of Crustacea and microscope slides of larvae, he aims to describe their structure.

Annotations in pencil and ink throughout. Marked on front as 'Archives June 15/76'. Includes one figure of cells.
