CRUSTACEA. 

 By "Walter Faxon. 



[It is proposed to issue in the Memoirs of the Museum a " Selection from Embryo- 

 logical Monographs," which will give to the student, in an easily accessible form, a 

 more or less complete iconography of the embryology of each important group of the 

 animal kingdom. This selection is not intended to be a handbook, but rather an 

 atlas to accompany any general work on the subject. 



The plates will be issued in parts, as fast as practicable, each part covering a some- 

 what limited field. The parts devoted to Echinoderms, Acalephs, and Polyps are 

 well advanced, and a beginning has been made for the Crustacea. Occasional appen- 

 dices may be published, to prevent the plates from becoming antiquated. 



The quarto illustrations will be accompanied by a carefully prepared explanation, 

 and by a bibliography, in octavo, to be made as complete as possible. Although a 

 large, part of this bibliographical literature may be. found in the general works of Kbl- 

 liker, Balbiani, and Balfour, and in some of the more recent special monographs, a 

 fuller list on special subjects, comprising the scattered references now accessible only 

 with much cost of time and labor, will be convenient for students. 



The present Bulletin contains the first instalment of this bibliography. It will be 

 followed at an early date by similar lists for the Echinoderms, the Acalephs, the 

 Polyps, and the Fishes. ALEXANDER AGASSIZ. 



THE embryological literature of the Arthropod groups incertce scdis, viz. XipJmsura. 

 Trilobita, and Pycnognnida, will be found at the end of this list. An asterisk (*) 

 before a title denotes that the work cited has not been seen by me.
