SECREATIVE NATURAL HISTORY. 



THE CRAB. 



THE word crab requires no definition, and the animal thus named 

 is probably known to every reader. Whether the term be de- 

 rived by abbreviation from the Latin carabus (crabus, crab), or 

 from a Saxon root signifying to bite or grip, is matter of debate. 

 The latter origin is, however, the more probable. In this case 

 one primary meaning can be traced through crab, the crus- 

 tacean ; crab, the apple, from its biting taste ; and crab, a machine 

 for lifting or gripping heavy weights. But this short word con- 

 veys little notion of the animal's structure, and is therefore of 

 no scientific value. What, then, does the reader say to tho 

 name Decapod, brachywous crustacean ? * To many this long 

 name will at once suggest the peculiar structure of the crab ; 

 others may feel inclined to regard it aa pedantic. But as the 

 meaning of the designation is simply this, that the crab ifl a 

 crustacean with a short tail and ten feet, it is an exact descrip- 

 tion of tho animal. 



Decapod, (n-/ootd; brachyurous, thort-taibd.
