Extract

Some years ago I published, with the late Professor T. Rupert Jones, F.R.S., a description of two small Limuloids referred to the genus Bellinurus, sent me by ray friend Dr. H. M. Ami (then of the Canadian Geological Survey), who obtained them from the Lower Carboniferous Marine Series on the Intercolonial Railway of Canada, in Colchester County, Nova Scotia (Geol. Mag., 1899,pp. 387–95, PI. XV, Figs. 2 and 3), under the specific name of B. B. grandævus. Fig. 2 was collected from the sixth cutting east of Riversdale Station and Fig. 3 from the third cutting east of Colnary River.

page 468 note 2 In many of the Trilobita the eye-suture and the axial line of the glabella are close together; in young stages of the living American Limulus the axial line and the orbital suture are quite distinct and apart from each other (see Mon. Merostomata, pt. v, pl. xxxiii, fig. 10, after Packard; fig. 12, after Dohrn's “Trilobitenstadium”). In the adult living Limulus the compound eyes occupy the lateral border of the glabella.Google Scholar
