Development in Ovo of Certain Crustacea. By MM. 
Edouard van Benedeu and E. Bessells. Bull. Acad. Roy. 
Belgique, 1868. — The authors recognise two distinct types of 
development. In the first, which is seen in the marine 
Amphipods, the Copepods, and certain Lernese, there is 
found in every point of the egg’s surface a layer of cells, 
which is nothing more than the vitelline globules devoid of 
their nutritive matter. There is total segmentation. In the 
second — as in most Lerneae — there is a progressive formation 
of the blastoderm, without total segmentation. The fresh- 
water Amphipods belong to this group-.
