The monograph offers a detailed morphological and anatomical survey of terrestrial isopod crustaceans found in the British Isles, describing external structures, internal systems (alimentary, circulatory, nervous, excretory, and reproductive), and embryonic development. It outlines collection and preservation methods, local names, habits, and economic considerations. A classification scheme and keys precede species accounts, each with diagnostic characters, illustrations of antennae and appendages, and distribution notes. Twenty-five plates and numerous figures accompany the text to aid identification. The work concludes with a bibliography and suggestions for further study.
