OF THE INNER TEMPLE, BARRISTER-AT-LAW REGIUS PROFESSOR OF SANSKRIT AND COMPARATIVE PHILOLOGY AT THE UNIVERSITY OF EDINBURGH FORMERLY OF THE COLONIAL OFFICE AUTHOR OF ' RESPONSIBLE GOVERNMENT IN THE DOMINIONS,' ETC. OXFORD AT THE CLARENDON PRESS 1919 y PREFACE It is the aim of this work to examine in the crucial instance of the history of the Independent State of the Congo the defects of the Berlin Act, and to indicate the amendments which must be made in that inter- national compact if it is to serve the high purposes for which it was destined, the extension to central Africa of the benefits of civilization and freedom of trade. This limitation of purpose has involved the omission in the historical sketch of the vivid detail of indi- vidual heroism and achievement in which the record of the Congo State abounds, but it has also justified the decision not to enter into particulars of the acts of cruelty committed upon natives under the State regime. The exposure of these crimes was a public duty, honourably fulfilled in England, during the period of the agitation to secure the reform of the administration, but since Belgium, under King Albert, has accepted in principle all the reforms urged by Viscount Grey, it is permissible to refrain from enter- ing minutely into the investigation of these deplorable events.

(1998): The African and Madagascan freshwater crabs in the Zoologische Staatssammlung, Munich (Crustacea, Decapoda, Brachyura, Potamoi­ dea). - Spixiana 21/3: 193-214 The collection of African and Madagascan freshwater crabs in the Zoologische Staatssammlung, Munich has been reevaluated. The collection includes twenty eight species of Potamonautes, seven species of Sudanonautes, two species each of Platythelphusa, Hydrothelphusa, Deckenia, Potamonemus, and Louisea, and one species each of Liberonautes, Gecarcinautes and Potamon. The collection includes the holotype of Louisea edeaensis, and paratypes of L. balssi, Sudanonautes monodi and Potamonautes gerdalensis.

Tel: 906-227-2215; fax: 906-227-1063; E-mail: [email protected] Introduction The collection of freshwater crabs from Africa in the Zoologische Staatssammlung, Munich (ZSM) owes a great deal to the efforts of Prof. Heinrich Balss (1886-1957) who, in addition to his work on the Decapoda in general, authored a number of articles on the taxonomy of African freshwater crabs. These works included material held in the ZSM from East and West Africa (1914a), West Africa (Balss 1929a), East Africa and Madagascar (Balss 1929b, 1934), and Central and southern Africa (Balss 1914b, 1922,1936). The present work represents an attempt to identify and catalogue the African and Mada­ gascan freshwater crab material in the ZSM according to the most recent taxonomic conventions for the group. Data on the material examined are listed in the following order: region of Africa, country, original collection locality and modern equivalent, number of males and /or females, state of maturity, date, name of collector and / or donator, and ZSM inventory number.
