TitleUnpublished paper, 'On the development of the crustacean embryo' by C [Charles] Spence Bate
Date1875
DescriptionBate states that, although the general forms of several genera of Podophthalmous Crustacea are known, the details of their structure have been so unsatisfactorily figured and described that the value and importance of hereditary elements are incapable of being studied and appreciated. Having received a collection of Crustacea and microscope slides of larvae, he aims to describe their structure.

Annotations in pencil and ink throughout. Marked on front as 'Archives June 15/76'. Includes one figure of cells.

Subject: Zoology / Embryology

Received 28 December 1875. Read 9 March 1876.

Whilst the Royal Society declined to publish this paper in full, an abstract of the paper was published in volume 24 of the Proceedings of the Royal Society as 'On the development of the crustacean embryo, and the variations of form exhibited in the larvæ of 38 genera of Podophthalmia'.
