For intermolt (nongrowing) specimens of the land crab G. lateralis the amount of recoverable muscle per claw equals 0.095 & 0.013 (propus length x propus width) 3/2 gm/cm2. During the premolt period (approximately 50 days in large specimens of this animal) the quantity of muscle per chela decreases
## Abstract The hypothesis that the pericardial sacs of the land crab __Gecarcinus lateralis__ directly take up and store proecdysial water has been investigated. At all stages of the molt cycle, the convoluted surface of the pericardial sacs apposed to the carapace forms a system of channels for c
