SEA-SCORPIONS. 
These are the giant crustaceans of a day gone by, whose nearest living descendants are by some naturalists considered to be the King-crabs shown on page 293. They were 
possessed of a coat of armour and limbs for crawling, swimming, or seizing their prey, and some reached a length of nearly six feet. Three types of these Scorpions are shown here. 
Note especially the one to the left with the feelers each armed with a pair of large pincers.
