of descent of the Crustacea, Insecta and "Myriopoda" (i. e., 

 Diplopoda, Chilopoda and Symphyla) and are not far re- 

 moved from the most primitive Crustacea, such as Apus, 

 Branchipus and similar forms which approach the Annelida 

 in many respects. The Merostomata, Arachnida, etc., on the 

 other hand, have followed a course of development rather 

 widely divergent from that of the Insecta, and are related to 

 Insects only very distantly. The more detailed discussion of 

 these Arthropodan lines of descent, however, is beyond the 

 province of the present paper.
