Contributions to Marine Bionomics: III. The Systematic Features, Habits, and Respiratory Phenomena of Portumnus nasutus (Latreille)

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  11 May 2009

Extract

The crab whose habits I now describe has not previously been recorded as an inhabitant of British seas. I found two specimens, both male, imbedded in a patch of coarse shell sand on the south side of Drake's Island at low water, spring tides: one on August 11th, 1896, and the other on the following day.
