Plate 23. Third-Stage Lobster. 



Figure 32. Bight second walking leg from behind, M=:27. The exopodite 

 is still functional, and the cheise are slightly functional in the third stage. The 

 inner edge of the propodite and of the dactyl have a suggestion of teeth. The 

 projecting propodite is relatively longer than in the preceding stage. The dactyl 

 opens upward in a vertical plane and slightly outward, a position which is main- 

 tained in the adult stage.
