lime. Besides these Crustaceans, there was also a new kind, here 



making its first appearance in Amer- 

 ican rocks. One species of the group 

 is the Enrypterus remipes of Dekay 

 (Fig. 474). Unlike Trilobites, it 

 has large jointed arms, and a body 

 which resembles that of the Sap- 

 phirina and Caligus groups of mod- 

 ern Crustaceans. (Figs. 165, ] 66, 

 on page 120, represent the female 

 and male of a Sapphirina from ex- 

 isting seas.) Many specimens of 

 this kind of Crustacean from the 

 Water-lime have a length of a foot 

 or more.
