Excerpt from A History of the British Stalk-Eyed Crustacea I have little to say in this Preface, beyond the ex pression of my sincere regret for the delay which has occurred in the publication of the work. That delay has arisen from causes which it would not interest the public to be informed of, and which I have no wish to put forward for the sake of deprecating the displeasure or disappointment which it may have excited.

Excerpt from The Stalk-Eyed Crustacea Two Specimens, male and female, were collected at low tide on the reef at Panama, March 12. Leptopodz'a debilis is one of the many littoral Crustacea of Panama that are represented by very closely allied Species on the Atlantic side of the Isthmus. It is distinguished from Leptopodz'a sagz'tz'am'a its Atlantic represen tative, chiefly by its shorter hand, relatively longer fingers, and greater breadth across the branchial region of the carapace. The rostrum is usually shorter and inclined upward more than in L. Sagz'tlam'a; but in the type specimen (m. C. Z. No. 3948, Polvon, Nicaragua), it is exceptionally long, - more than one and a half times as long as the rest of the carapace. III average specimens of L. Debilis the rostrum is about equal in length to the rest of the carapace. The difference in the form of the male abdomen in L. Debilis and in Milne Edwards's figure of L. Sagz'flarz'a (cuvier's Régne Animal, Disciples' ed., Crustacea, Plate XXXVI. Fig. 1d), noted by Smith, arises from the inaccuracy of the figure, not from any real difference between the two species, which are alike in this regard.
