Crustaceology. 



THE general appearance of the animal is strong and 

 powerful, and but slightly compressed laterally. The tail 

 is very short, and generally lies folded beneath the body ; 

 from which position, when forcibly struck out, it enables 

 the animal to spring to a considerable distance. Plence 

 it derives its English name of " hopper," and its French 

 cognomen of " Puce de mer." Its generic name, Talitrus^ 

 signifies a " fillip." The male is larger and more robustly 

 formed than the female. 



tion, and unfortunately, in respect to the Linna-an species, the Liuna^an 

 cabinet affords us no help, as it does not contain any of his typical spe- 

 cimens.
