And crustacean is defined as one of the three primary divisions or classes into which annualos animals provided with articulated limbs are divided. The higher forms of this class include lobsters, shrimps, crawfish, and so forth.

The lower animals are of varied forms as barnacles, wood lice, fish lice and so forth. And the word comes from the Latin crusta, meaning the hard shell of a body, the rind. And from all of this, E. Jack Newman has written a new radio play which we are about to do for you called the crustacean.
