Laboratory Work.—\n dissecting the lobster, the shell or crust may 

 be removed by a stout knife ; the whole dorsal portion of the cephalo- 

 thorax and each segment behind, including the base of the telson 

 should be removed, care being taken not to injure the brain, which lies 

 just under the base of the rostrum. The hypodermis, or reddish, mem- 

 branous, inner layer of the integument, should then be dissected away.
