The author mentions Asaphus caudatus Briinn, A. tuberculato-caudatus 

 Murch., A. longicaudatus Murch. Calymene blumenbachii Brong. 



On plate 41 he illustrates Limulus anthrax n. sp., L. rotundatus n. sp., 

 L. trilobitoides Buckland. Apus dubius n. sp. Anthrapalcemon (Palceo- 

 carabus) dubius Salt. 



Dr. Woodward uses Limulus anthrax and L. rotundata for the types of 

 his new genus Prestwichia. 



After a careful study of the Limuii belonging to Prestwich's collection, 

 and also other specimens, this author remarks, that they are divisible into 

 two well-marked genera: 



(a) Those having movable thoracic segments and anchylosed abdomina 

 ones; to be included in the genus Belinurus, namely Belinurus trilobitoidesl 

 Buckland, etc. 



(b) Those in which the thoracic and abdominal segments are not divided, 

 and which the former appear to be anchylosed. Prestwichia anthrax and 

 P. rotundata.

 This work divides the Trilobites into two groups: 



1. Trilobites with faceted eyes. 



2. Trilobites with non-faceted eyes. 



The genera are classified according to the number of segments in the 

 thorax, as follows: 



With 13 segments in the thorax: Trilobites blumenbachii Brong. (Caly- 

 mene callicephala Green, C. selenocephala Green?, C. platys Green. 



Trimerus delphinocephalus Green. Calymene polytoma Dalm., C. bella- 

 tula Dalm. Asaphus fischeri Eichw. These Trilobites form, perhaps, a 

 second section among the Trilobites with 13 segments. Their segments 

 are smooth and without grooves.
