limulus's Usage Examples:

14 and 15), each carrying a pair of plate-like appendages in both Limulus and Scorpio.

It is not desirable to occupy the limited space of this article by a full description of the limbs and segments of Limulus and Scorpio.

The various comparisons previously made between the structure of Limulus and the Eurypterines on the one hand, and that of a typical Arachnid, such as Scorpio, on the other, had been vitiated by erroneous notions as to the origin of the nerves supplying the anterior appendages of Limulus (which were finally removed by Alphonse Milne-Edwards in his beautiful memoir (6) on the structure of that animal), and secondly by the erroneous identification of the double sternal plates of Limulus, called " chilaria," by Owen, with a pair of appendages (7).

47), as do Limulus and Scorpio.

- Ventral surface of the entosternum of Limulus Polyphemus, Latr.

N.S.), and in a series of subsequent memoirs, in which the structure of the entosternum, of the coxal glands, of the eyes, of the veno-pericardiac muscles, of the respiratory lamellae, and of other parts, was for the first time described, and in which the new facts discovered were shown uniformly to support the hypothesis that Limulus is an Arachnid.

The evidence of the exact equivalence of the segmentation and appendages of Limulus and Scorpio, and of a number of remarkable points of agreement in structure, was furnished by Ray Lankester in an article published in 1881 (" Limulus an Arachnid," Quart.

xxiv., 1884.) Limulus an Arachnid.

- Entosternum, entosternite or plastron of Limulus Polyphemus, Latr.
