Introduction and thesis outline
“There is no task more fascinating to the naturalist than breaking up a block of some branching coral, such as 3RFLOORSRUD or 0DGUHSRUD, and dislodging from among its boughs the various animals that shelter there; nor of all these latter is there any more interesting than the crab +DSDORFDUFLQXV, which gives rise to the well-known galls that Semper [1881] described in his Animal Life.” %RUUDGDLOH
