Extract

The genus Cheirurus offers an interesting study in evolution. Barrande, in his monumental work on the Silurian System of Bohemia, drew up a classification of the genus based principally on the character of the pleural grooves. Thus he divided the species into two sections—

page 119 note 1 The type specimens on which the species was founded are not sufficiently well preserved for one to be sure of the number of segments—a point Salter notices.

page 119 note 2 The pygidium with seven segments ascribed to this species (Salter, Mon. Brit. Trilob. Pal. Soc., pl. v, fig. 21, p. 75) probably belongs to a distinct species, or even subgenus; but our ignorance of the other parts of the other parts of the trilobite to which it belonged prevents us coming to a decision about its exact position.
