Abstract
THE re-analysis of Shen's data (1935) on early post-larval development in Carcinus mcenas has proved interesting in showing a graded change with time in the shape of the growth gradients of the abdominal appendages. Dr. J. H. Day's work on the abdominal segments of the same species (see below) has led to similar conclusions. Since the phenomenon has not previously been recorded, at least in quantitative terms, it was felt advisable to publish simultaneous notes on the subject.
