Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Anatomy, Histology, and Embryology of Limulus Polyphemus
Most if not all the other leading zoologists, while recognizing the aberrant characters of the Limuli, have left them among the Crustacea, though in 1834 H. Milne-edwards established a subclass _(xiphosura) for the group; this group being equivalent to any one of several other subclasses of Crustacea which he enumerates. For the views we held previous to the publication of H. Milne Edwards' memoir, we would refer the reader to our Memoir on the development of Limulus, published in March, 1872.
