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. Hence 

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

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

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

 formed than the female. 



tion, and unfortunately, in respect to the Linnsean species, the Linnreau 

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

 cimens.
