I.—Restoration of Stylonurus Lacoanus, a Giant Arthropod from the Upper Devonian of the United States1
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 01 May 2009
Extract
In the animal kingdom the attribute of bigness has come to be regarded as one of the prerogatives of the vertebrates. On this account, invertebrates seldom receive credit for having a size of more than a fraction of a cubit, and are looked upon as objects to be held in the hand or viewed under a lens. As a matter of common experience, and probably also of congratulation, large invertebrates are rare, and some whole classes cannot furnish a single individual measuring more than a few inches in greatest diameter.
