Excerpt from The Stalk-Eyed Crustacea: Of British Guiana, West Indies, and Bermuda This hand-list of the Stalk-Eyed Crustacea of the western tropical and subtropical Atlantic about the West Indian Islands, of these Islands, of the muddy shore and fresh water of British Guiana, and of the fresh water of tropical America, is the result of an attempt to bring together, for the use of collectors, the description, already published in many monographs and periodicals by such naturalists as H. Milne Edwards, Dana, Stimpson, Bell, Sidney Smith, A. Milne Edwards, Kingsley, Miers, Henderson, Spence Bate, Rathbun, Brooks, and many others whose names are mentioned in the text, of these interesting animals. The name of the naturalist is placed opposite the name under which the crustacean has been described by him. The classification followed is that of H. Milne Edwards for the larger divisions of the two Orders and for the tribes of the Brachyura, otherwise the classification of the latter is that of Mr. E. J. Miers and Mr. J. S. Kingsley; excluding the fresh-water crabs properly so called, the arrangement followed being that of Miss M. J. Rathbun, who has thrown much light on the family, and to whom I take this opportunity of expressing my thanks for the assistance given me; of the Anomoura, that of Professor Henderson and A. Milne Edwards; and of the Macroura, that of Mr. Spence Bate. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
