 and, compared with it and many of its allies, seem rather 

 as if they had belonged to some primaeval creation. Of these 

 which are large species of Zephronia, there appear to be 

 several ; and of the Polydesmi, many of the species are as 

 pre-eminent for their size, as they are for their beauty and 

 curious appearance. 



The seas are plentifully supplied with Crustacea, belonging 

 to families (such as the Leucosiada} but feebly represented 

 in our temperate climate ; and the peculiar position of 

 Borneo, brings to its shores the crabs of the Chinese seas,
