Abstract
DURING a recent visit to the museum at Dover, I noticed in the case allotted to the Crustacea a remarkable instance of malformation affecting the right pincer of a half-grown specimen of our common edible crab (Cancer pagurus); and not recollecting to have seen the like either figured or described, I venture to think the publication of the subjoined sketch, together with a few words of explanation, may prove of interest to the readers of NATURE.
