The greater number of the Crustacea here figured have been described by Mr. Adam White. The plates having been printed off many years since, and the stones destroyed, it has not been possible to alter their lettering, and bring it into correspondence with the nomenclature adopted in the text; but whenever I have adopted for any species a different generic or specific name from that used by Mr. White, and printed on the plate, a reference has been made to the latter in the synonyma of the species.

  • Karl Jordan: a Life in Systematics
    AN ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION OF Kristin Renee Johnson for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History of SciencePresented on July 21, 2003. Title: Karl Jordan: A Life in Systematics Abstract approved: Paul Lawrence Farber Karl Jordan (1861-1959) was an extraordinarily productive entomologist who influenced the development of systematics, entomology, and naturalists' theoretical framework as well as their practice. He has been a figure in existing accounts of the naturalist tradition between 1890 and 1940 that have defended the relative contribution of naturalists to the modem evolutionary synthesis. These accounts, while useful, have primarily examined the natural history of the period in view of how it led to developments in the 193 Os and 40s, removing pre-Synthesis naturalists like Jordan from their research programs, institutional contexts, and disciplinary homes, for the sake of synthesis narratives. This dissertation redresses this picture by examining a naturalist, who, although often cited as important in the synthesis, is more accurately viewed as a man working on the problems of an earlier period. This study examines the specific problems that concerned Jordan, as well as the dynamic institutional, international, theoretical and methodological context of entomology and natural history during his lifetime. It focuses upon how the context in which natural history has been done changed greatly during Jordan's life time, and discusses the role of these changes in both placing naturalists on the defensive among an array of new disciplines and attitudes in science, and providing them with new tools and justifications for doing natural history. One of the primary intents of this study is to demonstrate the many different motives and conditions through which naturalists came to and worked in natural history.

RESUMEN La riqueza biológica de Mesoamérica es enorme. Dentro de esta gran área geográfi ca se encuentran algunos de los ecosistemas más diversos del planeta (selvas tropicales), así como varios de los principales centros de endemismo en el mundo (bosques nublados). Países como Guatemala, en esta gran área biogeográfi ca, tiene grandes zonas de bosque húmedo tropical y bosque mesófi lo, por esta razón es muy importante para analizar la diversidad en la región. Lamentablemente, la fauna de mariposas de Guatemala es poco conocida y por lo tanto, es necesario llevar a cabo un estudio y análisis de la composición y la diversidad de las mariposas (Lepidoptera: Papilionoidea) en Guatemala.

J «-- .( \ IV. NOTES ON CRUSTACEA DECAPODA IN THE INDIAN MUSEUM. V.—HIPPOLYTIDAE . By STANLEY KEMP, B.A., Assistant Superintendent, Indian Museum. (Plates I-VII.) With the exception of a few more or less isolated records little has hitherto been written on the Hippolytidae occurring in Indian waters. The family is well represented in the Indian Museum, but there can be no doubt that many new and unrecorded forms remain to be discovered. On a recent visit to the coasts of S. India in the vicinity of Rameswaram Island, made in company with Dr. J. R. Henderson of the Madras Museum, several species hitherto unknown from Indian coasts were obtained and there is little doubt that collec- tions from other localities would prove equally interesting. Hip- polytidae seem, for the most part, to prefer shallow water and a weedy bottom ; it was at any rate in such situations that all the species found in S. India were obtained. Our collection was made in February and at this season the majority of the females were found bearing eggs. The family Hippolytidae is one of somewhat unusual interest on account of the great diversity of form found in the different genera and of the different modes in which the secondary sexual characters may find expression. Several genera such as Leontocaris, Cryptocheles, Tozeuma and Gelastocaris exhibit structural modifications of the most bizarre character; this specialization is presumably correlated with some unusual form of livelihood, but the reasons for the peculiar adap- tations have not as yet been definitely ascertained.

The identification was confirmed by com- parison with American specimens. For each species, a synonymy and detailed description, including the color pattern of fresh material, are given.

YALDWYN Department of Zoology, Victoria University of Wellington CARDED CARDED 8 -1963 Reprinted from TUATARA September 1958 Volume 7 Number 1 Pages 17-41 I i A Guide to the Natant Decapod Crustacea (Shrimps and Prawns) of New Zealand* L. R. RICHARDSON and J. C. YALDWYN, Department of Zoology, Victoria University of Wellington EXCEPTING FOR ONE SPECIES common in our lowland running fresh waters, our shrimps and prawns are marine, ranging from sea-shore pools into deeper waters. These animals are crayfish-like, having a body divided into an anterior region of fused head and thorax, equipped with walking legs, and an abdomen which is segmented, terminating in a tail, and bearing a pair of limbs on all segments. The crayfish and its allies swim only backwards, doing this by violent flexion of the abdomen ; but shrimps and prawns also swim forwards using their well-developed abdominal appendages (pleopods) for this purpose. 4 Shrimp ' and ' prawn ' are names of unknown origin and of no strict zoological reference. In common usage, 4 shrimp' are small, some three inches or less in length, taken for food by netting, usually from shallow water. ' Prawn' are larger, up to twelve inches long, taken by trapping and trawling. The species recognised in most countries as prawns, in general have a more or less compressed (i.e. deeper than wide) body, and a long armed rostrum, features shown in many small species which from their size alone are known in common usage as 4 shrimp'; however, the rostrum is short in the principal commercial shrimp of Europe.
