Extract

In continuation of the studies on receptor elements in the Crustacea the common prawn, Leander serratus, has been investigated by the methylene-blue method applied in the same way as described in an earlier publication (Alexandrowicz, 1951). It has been found that there are in Leander receptors of the same kind as in those crustaceans previously investigated, some of which exhibit features not yet observed before. As in other crustaceans they are similarly situated on the dorsal side of the body, but since a knowledge of the disposition of the dorsal muscles in the thorax and the abdomen is necessary for locating them, some data about the topography of the muscles are first given.
