Extract

The results of Mr. W. S. Valiant's long search for the appendages of Trilobites have recently been made known by Mr. W. B. Matthew, who described the material sold to the Columbia College of New York by Mr. Valiant. Mr. Valiant informs me that he discovered traces of what he considered to be antennæ, and that for several years he continued collecting until he found a locality where the specimens were well preserved and showed, not only the antennæ, but legs and what he supposed to be the swimming appendages.

page 251 note 1 The appendages of Triarthrus are replaced by iron pyrites, and are usually well preserved. The specimens of Calymene and Ceraurus from the Trenton Limestone of Trenton Falls, N.Y., were replaced by calcite, and in them there were preserved even more delicate parts than I have yet observed in Triarthrus. Thin sections were made of the latter and photographs obtained by transmitted light, that were used in illustrating the paperinthe Bulletin of the Museum of Comparative Zoology, vol. viii. 1881.Google Scholar
