Examples

“We have then, probably, three types of syncerebra and two types of archicerebra among existing Crustacea.”

“The syncerebrum of the Tetradecapoda (Amphipoda and Isopoda), judging by Leydig's figures¹ and our own observations (from dissections made by Mr. J. S. Kingsley) on that of Idotæa and Serolis², is built on a different plan from that of the Decapoda.”

“In our Monograph of N. A. Phyllopoda, p.403, we adopted the view that the brains of all Crustacea except the Phyllopoda and Merostomata were syncerebra, and we divided the syncerebrum into three types; adding that the syncerebrum of sessile eyed crustacea (Edriophthalma) was built on a different plan from that of the Decapoda.”

“The brain is a syncerebrum which is composed of a protocerebrum, innervating the three parts of the eye and the frontal glands; a deutocerebrum, innervating the antennules; and a tritocerebrum which innervates the labrum and the antennae and which contains the tritocerebral gland.”

“The nervous system of Arachnida consists of a syncerebrum and the ventral ganglia that are more or less variously fused in a subesophageal nervous mass.”
