Congress, made available rare books in her care; Alain Crosnier, Museum National d'Histoire Naturelle, Paris, kindly helped with the provincial words of Bretagne; and Lipke B. Holthuis, Rijksmuseum van Natuurlijke Historie, Leiden, provided many thoughtful additions, critically reviewed much of the manuscript, and talked with me about words and myths one cold, wet March day in Leiden—when we forgot the time and barely escaped being locked in the Museum at closing. I also thank Hoyt N. Duggan, Dept. of English, University of Virginia, Charlottesville; Mark Grygier, Seto Marine Laboratory, Honshu, Japan; Laura Hurley, University of Washington; Kenneth Manaha, U.S. Dept. of Health and Human Services, Washington; James Marchand, Center for Advanced Studies, University of Illinois; George Marinenko, MITRE Corporation, McLean, Virginia; Laili Nasr, Bethesda, Maryland; Rev. Robert Pettigrew, Vienna, Virginia, retired; RonSchwarz, MITRE Corporation, McLean, Virginia; Ruth Sternglantz, Dept. of English, New York University; Pieter van der Veer, I.B.M. Corporation, Rockville, Maryland; Barbara Wright, MITRE Corporation, McLean, Virginia; and Wolfgang Zeidler, South Australian Museum, Adelaide, for their thoughtful and diverse contributions. In addition, I am indebted to Stan Shetler, Associate Director of the National Museum of Natural History, for support from the Research Opportunities Fund SMITHSONIAN CONTRIBUTIONS TO ANTHROPOLOGY which enabled me to visit libraries in the U.K. and Australia during 1992; and to Donald Fisher, Smithsonian Institution Press, for his thoughtful help with editorial matters. To the staff members of the British Library, London; the Library of the British Museum (Natural History), London; the Library of New South Wales, Sydney; the Library of Congress, Washington; and the Fairfax County George Mason Regional Library, Annandale, Virginia, go my thanks—all were knowledgable, cheerful, and seemingly possessed of unlimited patience. My wife, Dabney, warmly encouraged me with this project even as I became somewhat fixated on crayfish names and managed to insinuate them into unrelated conversations over the past 8 years. And finally, I am grateful to those who built the INTERNET, that unparalleled electronic highway for cross-disciplinary research. In particular, the BITNET discussion list MEDTEXT-L@UIUCVMD—devoted to the philology, codicology, and analysis of medieval texts—led me to a number of individuals, acknowledged elsewhere, who generously contributed more than they probably realize. In spite of the remarkable help I have received from so many people, I must add that errors, omissions, inconsistencies (there are many), and statements contrary to fact or offensive to anyone are entirely my fault and are certainly unintentional. FIGURE 4.-A representative of freshwater crabs. Note the broad, flattened body (cephalothorax) discussed on page 4, as well as the almost hidden abdomen (see figure 2) which, in crabs, is usually tucked under the body. From Chace and Hobbs, 1969, figure 42.
