Description

Excerpt from The Freshwater and Terrestrial Decapod Crustaceans of the West Indies With Special Reference to Dominica<br/><br/>The original objective of this study was to describe the abundant but little-known freshwater and terrestrial decapod crustaceans of Dominica. We gradually came to the realization, however, that even the intensive collecting by those who participated in the Bredin archbold-smithsonian Biological Survey of Dominica hardly could be expected to reveal every species that might occur on that island at any time. In order to lend completeness to the Dominican coverage and to make the study useful to biologists interested in the faunas of other islands, we decided to include the 92 species known from all of the West Indies. We have attempted, therefore, to offer a provisional handbook of the decapods that may occur naturally in reduced salini ties or above high-tide line on any of the islands from Bermuda to Trinidad and throughout the Caribbean Sea.
