Abstract
FOR demonstrating the structure and action of the elaborate gizzard of the crayfish, which I have found to be usually regarded as a hopeless puzzle, I have constructed, in Prof. Lankester's laboratory at University College, at his suggestion and for the use of his class of practical zoology, a little model, the simplicity of which enables any student to construct one for himself, and thus thoroughly to apprehend the mechanical significance of the apparatus found in the crustacean.
