In the lobster, the solitary arthrobranchia of the eighth somite disappears, and the branchiae are reduced to twenty on each side. ^ In Astacus, this branchia remains ; but, in the English crayfish, the most anterior of the pleurobranchite has vanished, and mere rudiments of the two next remain. It has been mentioned that other Astuci present a rudiment of the first pleurobranchia. 266 THE COMPARATIVE MORPHOLOGY OF THE CRAYFISH. ...The branchial formula of Astacus.

In Cambarus, the number of the branchiae is reduced to seventeen by the disappearance of the last pleuro- branchia ; while, in Astacoides, the process of reduction is carried so far, that only twelve complete branchiae are left, the rest being either represented by mere rudiments, or disappearing altogether.
