Extract

Paleontologists are largely indebted to Messrs. Meek and JL Worthen for their very careful researches in the Coal-Measures of Illinois, which have resultedinsuch large and valuable accessions to the fauna and flora of the Carboniferous formation. Not the least interesting of these has been the discovery of numerous organisms, which were first recognized and correctly described by themin1868 as the remains of spined Myriapods.
