Each segment of the body usually bears a pair of append- ages, and each appendage is typically double. Among these ap- pendages much division of labour is often exhibited, some being sensory, others masticatory, others locomotor. In the higher forms the life-history is often long and circuitous, with a succession of larval stages. The lower Crustaceans are grouped together as Entomostraca. They are often small and simple in structure; the number of.
