 American Naturalist, vol. 77, No. 770, p. 

 234-255. 



A Libby photronreflector study of crusta- 

 cean sera, measuring the turbidities due to 

 interaction of precipitin antisera and vari- 

 ous antigens. The testing of 14 anti- 

 crustacean sera with the sera of C. sapidus 

 and 10 other crustaceans provided a first 

 quantitative estimate of the relative posi- 

 tions of the species to each other.

Refers to giant blue crabs commonly found 

 by early settlers. Describes trotlines, pots,

 tionist, vol. 8, No. 1, p. 18-19. 



An account for the general reader on the 

 taxonomy, anatomy, respiration, and food 

 value of the Crustacea. The blue crab is 

 used to demonstrate the growth and 

 development of members of this class.

Information on abundance, distribution, 

 occurrence in fresh water, future conserva- 

 tion, behavior, female migrations, and time 

 of hatching of the blue crab. Discusses 

 canning, by-products, transportation of 

 hard crabs, and fishing methods of sport 

 and commercial fishermen. Emphasizes the 

 soft crab industry: holding pens, handling 

 for market, and recognition of crabs about 

 to shed.

 chromatophore activation. Physiological 

 Zoology, vol. 13, No. 3, p. 343-355. 



Comparison of the chromatophoric effect 

 in stalkless Uca and Palaemonetes after 

 injection of extracts from whole eyestalks 

 of Callinectes and six other crustaceans and 

 from injection of extracts from only the 

 sinus glands. The source of the chromato- 

 phoro tropic substance of the eyestalk was 

 found to be the sinus gland.

 cerning the influence of blue crab eyestalk 

 extracts upon the position of retinal pig- 

 ment in Palaemonetes.

 that it is not as atypical as previously 

 regarded.

Functional and morphological aspects of 

 sperm were examined by light and electron 

 microscopy and by cytochemical methods.
