The Compound Eyes in Crustaceans (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from The Compound Eyes in Crustaceans Essentially the same methods as those which I used in investigating the eyes in the lobster were employed in studying the eyes in other Crustaceans. As these methods have been described at some length in my paper on the lobster's eye (parker, pp. 3, further mention of them in this connection is unnecessary. Before proceeding to an account Of the eyes in Crustaceans, a few statements should be made concerning the use of terms. In the fol lowing anatomical descriptions, I have very generally adhered to the Older and more established terms. It must be admitted that some Of these, on account Of their derivation, are not entirely satisfactory, but because of their general acceptance I have chosen to retain them rather than to attempt to replace them by new ones.
