  This 
  Monograph 
  of 
  the 
  ludo-Pacific 
  Stomatopoda 
  is 
  based 
  on 
  a 
  

   study 
  of 
  what 
  is 
  doubtless 
  the 
  ricliest 
  collection 
  of 
  these 
  Crustacea 
  

   that 
  has 
  ever 
  been 
  brought 
  together. 
  The 
  examination 
  of 
  tlie 
  

   material 
  seems 
  to 
  have 
  been 
  very 
  thorough, 
  the 
  abundant 
  literature 
  

   of 
  the 
  subject 
  has 
  been 
  carefully 
  explored, 
  and 
  the 
  results 
  are 
  

   presented 
  in 
  a 
  way 
  that 
  lacks 
  nothing 
  of 
  clearness 
  or 
  methodical 
  

   arrangement. 
  More 
  than 
  two- 
  thirds 
  of 
  the 
  total 
  number 
  of 
  known 
  

   species 
  and 
  varieties 
  are 
  found 
  within 
  the 
  limits 
  of 
  the 
  Indo-Pacific 
  

   region, 
  and 
  of 
  the 
  great 
  majority 
  of 
  these 
  the 
  author 
  has 
  examined 
  

   specimens 
  and, 
  in 
  many 
  cases, 
  types. 
  He 
  records 
  the 
  material 
  

   assistance 
  derived 
  from 
  a 
  collection 
  sent 
  to 
  him 
  on 
  loan 
  by 
  per- 
  

   mission 
  of 
  the 
  Trustees 
  of 
  the 
  British 
  Museum. 
  It 
  may 
  be 
  added 
  

   that 
  the 
  National 
  Collection 
  has 
  benefited, 
  not 
  only 
  by 
  his 
  revision 
  

   of 
  these 
  specimens, 
  but 
  also 
  by 
  a 
  fine 
  series 
  of 
  co-types 
  of 
  his 
  new 
  

   species 
  received 
  in 
  return 
  from 
  the 
  Indian 
  Museum. 
  

  

  Among 
  the 
  many 
  points 
  of 
  more 
  general 
  interest 
  that 
  are 
  dealt 
  

   with 
  in 
  the 
  course 
  of 
  the 
  Memoir, 
  attention 
  may 
  be 
  called 
  to 
  the 
  

   discussion 
  (pp. 
  150 
  et 
  seqq.) 
  of 
  the 
  perplexing 
  variations 
  of 
  Gono- 
  

   dactylus 
  chiragra 
  and 
  its 
  allies. 
  It 
  is 
  pointed 
  out 
  that 
  the 
  range 
  

   of 
  variation 
  is 
  much 
  greater 
  among 
  immature 
  than 
  among 
  adult 
  

   specimens, 
  and 
  a 
  comparison 
  is 
  made 
  with 
  the 
  analogous 
  case 
  

   described 
  by 
  Gadow 
  in 
  the 
  turtle, 
  Thalassochelys 
  caretta. 
  

  

  The 
  names 
  of 
  Wood-Mason, 
  Alcock, 
  and 
  Annandale 
  remind 
  

   the 
  student 
  of 
  Crustacea 
  that 
  the 
  Indian 
  Museum, 
  Calcutta, 
  has 
  

   long 
  been 
  one 
  of 
  the 
  leading 
  centres 
  of 
  carcinological 
  research. 
  

   Mr. 
  Kemp 
  had 
  already 
  won 
  his 
  spurs 
  in 
  this 
  field 
  of 
  work 
  before 
  he 
  

   went 
  to 
  India, 
  and 
  the 
  fine 
  Monograph 
  which 
  he 
  has 
  now 
  produced 
  

   is 
  worthy 
  of 
  the 
  high 
  traditions 
  of 
  tlio 
  institution 
  wath 
  which 
  he 
  is 
  

   connected.
