CRUSTACEA. 



The abdomen (ab) is very rudimentary, consisting of a single joint 

 bearing two f ureal appendages. The first antenna (1) is without 

 sucking disc and cement-gland. It consists of three joints : a basal 

 joint which is broadened and connected with the chitinous apodemes, 

 a long middle joint, and a short, terminal joint provided with three 



Fio. 107.— Consecutive larval stages of Sacculina carcini (after Delage, from Lang's Text-book). 

 A, Nauplius after the first moult. B, free-swimming Cypt^is stage. C, Cypris stage after the 

 larva has become attached to a seta (bb) of the host. D, formation of the Kentrogon larva. K, 

 the Kentrogon larva after the Cypris shell has been thrown off and the arrow has formed. 

 F, the arrow has bored through the chitinous cuticle of the host. 1, 2, 3, the three pairs

hooked setae. The Nauplius eye (ua) persists, but the paired eyes 

 are absent. Among the internal organs present at this stage, we 

 note the very distinct ovarian cell-mass (ov), the strongly-developed 

 musculature, the persistence of the glands of the frontal horns (yl) t 

 and the accumulations of pigment and of food-yolk (/).
