Fig. 249 b represents the Nau- plius of the European brine- shrimp. Order 4. — Tetradecapoda.— To this order belong the sow- bugs {lao-podd) and the beach- fleas (Avijjhijwda). In these Crustacea there is no cephalo- thorax, but the head is small, bearing two pairs of antennse, and a pair of jaws, and three pairs of maxillffi. The thorax is continuous with the abdo- men. Eespiration is performed by lamellate or leaf-like gills on the middle feet in the Amphipods, or on the hinder abdominal feet in S^o^S^^S^^^^^'^^^^S^. the Isopods. The lowest Isopods are parasitic, they graduate into the Amphipods, and the higher Amphipods are connected with the shrimps (De- caxjoda) through a group (probably a suborder) of synthetic forms {PalcBOcaris, Acanthotelson and Gampsonyx, Pig. 254) such as are found in the coal formation of Illinois.
