Abstract
THE volume opens with a short statement of the characters of the order Amphipoda and of its three suborders, followed by an account of the habitats in which Amphipoda occur, the methods by which specimens may be obtained, studied, and preserved, and by a useful description of the external morphology and internal structure. Tabular keys are provided to the families, genera, and species—some 320 of the latter being considered. Under each species is given a concise statement of its characters—illustrated by clear line drawings, for the most part original—and of the distribution of the species in France, with a note of the neighbouring countries from which it has been recorded. Appended is a list of works on Amphipoda and there is an adequate index.
