Going,now, to the cephalo-thorax : in this either a large num-ber of segments (thirteen or fourteen) are consolidatedabove to form the upper shell or carapace ; or else, asis more probable, two or three of the anterior seg-ments have enlarged and grown backward over, and atthe expense of the others, to form this shell. At anyrate, it is certain that the carapace is formed of thedorsal portions of a number of segments consolidated. Fig. 28.—External anatomy of the lobster (after Kingslej;.
