  Family 
  STYLOPID.^. 
  

  

  This 
  family 
  is 
  represented 
  in 
  our 
  State 
  by 
  a 
  single 
  minute 
  species 
  

   only, 
  so 
  far 
  as 
  our 
  collections 
  go. 
  It 
  is 
  a 
  representative 
  of 
  a 
  very 
  curious 
  

  

  ^^S 
  

  

  Stylops 
  and 
  its 
  development:

  little 
  group, 
  which 
  is 
  given 
  ordinal 
  rank 
  by 
  some 
  who 
  have 
  studied 
  it 
  

   most 
  closely, 
  and 
  I 
  believe 
  that 
  conclusion 
  to 
  be 
  warranted. 
  As 
  matter
