 Ety. ruso8, wrinkled ;

 posed by the author 

 to be the track of a 

 Crustacean, like the 

 Limulus, and consist- 

 ing of two undulated, 

 rounded, contiguous furrows; but the 

 type resembles a fucoid quite as much, 

 if not more, than it does a track, and if 

 related to Rusophycus, which is clearly 

 a fucoid, then it should be referred to 

 the vegetablej kingdom. Type R.
