Class U CRUSTACEA. 
The Crustacea are arranged by Latreille into two orders, viz. - 
Entomostraca and Malacostraca. These orders in my opinion 
should rather be considered as subelasses ; to the latter of which 
the Tetracera (placed by Latreille with the Arachnides) may be 
added, as they agree with the sessile-eyed Malacostraca in every 
essential point of internal organization. 
The Entomostraca are but little known, and consequently their 
arrangement is extremely imperfect. . | 
The Malacostraca have occupied a very considerable portion of 
attention, the result of which shall be given in the following 
pages. 
Subclassis. MALACOSTRACA. 
Legio I. PODOPHTHALMA. Oculi pedunculati. 
Ordo I. Bnacuxvuna. Cauda brevis, inermis. 
Ordo II. Macnouza. Cauda elongata, appendiculata. 
Legio ie EDRIOPHTHALMA. Oculi sessiles. 
Legio I. PODOPHTHALMA. 
Ordo I. BRACHYURA. | 
Latreille arranges the Brachyura (from the proportional I breadth 
and length of the thorax or shell) into two families ; but. the dis- 
_covery of genera unknown to that illustrious entomologist has 
convinced me that such a distribution is extremely unnatural ;
