Extract

In a paper which I communicated to the Geological Society of London, Nov. 21, 1866, (“On some points in the structure of the Xiphosura, having reference to their relationship with the Eurypterida”) I have recorded all the then known genera both of Xiphosura and of Eurypterida, and in the tables which accompany the first part of my Monograph on the Merostomata, I have given both the genera and species with their range in time and space.

page 2 note 3 Having, through the kindness of Mr. Prestwich, F.R.S., the type-specimens of his Limulus (Prestwichia) anthrax in my possession, I am the more able to appreciate Mr. Meek's comparison of Euproops Danœ with that species. It seems hardly possible to do more than separate them specifically: of their generic identity, I think there can be no donbt.
