The nervous system is distinguished by the size of the brain, which is placed far forwards and gives off nerves to the eyes and antenna?. The ventral cord, which is connected with the supra- cesophageal ganglion (brain) by very long commissures, presents very different degrees of concentration. In the brachyarous Decapods this concentration reaches its highest point, all the ganglia being fused together to form one great thoracic ganglionic mass. The system of visceral nerves is also very highly developed. Sense organs.—The eyes are large and facetted. Except in the Ov
