Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Journal of Morphology, 1900, Vol. 16
IN 1888 I began a detailed study of the anatomy and development of Limulus, for the purpose of determining whether such a study would justify the conclusion that Limulus and other arachnids are closely related to ancestral vertebrates. That they are so related seemed probable in view of certain resemblances between the mode of development of the brain and eyes of L'imulus and scorpion and those of vertebrates.
