 tiat., 16 : 287-292. 8. Philadelphia. 1882. 



In answer to Lankester, attempts to prove that Limulus is a 

 crustacean, chiefly trom the discovery by Willemoes of a nau- 

 ptius-statje in the development of an East Indian species ; a dis- 

 covery which he afterwards acknowledges to be false, p. 436.
