Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Stalk-Eyed Crustacea: Of British Guiana, West Indies, and Bermuda
The internal antennae, antennules, are thread-like limbs or feelers, either folded under the front into pits, antennulary fossae, or free and prominent; they are composed of basal joints, and terminate in one or more terminal threads, ?agella.
The external antennae, antenna, are usually situated near the internal antennae and outside them, nearer to the eyes. They do not rest in pits, are composed of basal joints, and terminate in a long thread, ?agellum, usually. They may be very small or very long and strong; some times they are in the form of ?at plates. The part of the front Where these two pairs of organs spring is called the antennary region below this region, above the mouth, is the epistomian region.
