These are the large, branched an- tennae, round and jointed like a bamboo pole. Along the back, under the shell and above the body, is the brood cavity in which there are sometimes eight or ten eggs. This is the incubator, in which the eggs are hatched and where the young are cared for until they are fitted for an independent life. If the children are too ambitious to see the world in their youth, the mother promptly kicks them back into this nursery ; for the young are sprawling, helpless thin...gs, having no shell, no alimentary canal, and only three 122 IN BROOK AND BAYOU. pairs of feet, and the mother thinks no one is fitted to appear in polite society until she has at least ten feet. This is one of the creatures that have sum- mer and winter eggs. All summer there are none but lady Daphnise, and they lay the sum- mer eggs and rear the " summer girls. " When haying and harvest are over, about the time that you begin to watch for the falling leaves and dropping nuts of autumn, the lazy gentle- men Daphnise come pushing their way through the water with an air of great importance.
