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.
