I.—The Morphology of Triarthrus1

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  01 May 2009

Extract

Most of the recent advances in the knowledge of trilobitestructure have come from the study of Triarthrus. Since Valiant's discovery of the antennæ, and its announcement by Matthew in 1893, the writer has published a series of papers on the detailed structure of this trilobite. Much time has also been spent in carefully working out the numerous specimens from the abundant material in the Yale Museum. Altogether upwards of five hundred individuals with appendages more or less complete have been investigated; and at the present time, it may safely be said that the important exoskeletal features have been seen and described.
