addition to those placed between the segments. These 

 strikingly Annclidan dorso-ventral muscle bands of 

 Apus are not, as far as we know, preserved in any 

 of the higher Crustacea, being rendered useless by 

 the development of the exoskeleton. Clear traces of

them are, however, found in Limulus, where their 

 points of attachment have drawn in the outer integu- 

 ment to form the entapophyses. Their use in Apus 

 will be discussed in the sections on circulation 

 and reproduction. They are not developed in the 

 posterior rudimentary segments.
