ABSTRACT
(Published by permission of the Lords Commissioners of the Treasury.)
[The manuscript and figures of Dr. v. Willemoes-Suhm relative to a Crustacean larva, which he at one time was led to regard as the larval form of Limulus molluccanus, have been placed in my hands for publication. I am informed by Professor Moseley that before his death Suhm was definitely of opinion that the larva in question belonged to a Cirrhipede. In the mean time a reference to its supposed connection with Limulus had been published in Suhm’s ‘Challenger Briefe,’ In consequence of this, as well as in view of the intrinsic interest of the form, I think it well to publish Suhm’s drawings and description in full. In the description I have in brackets made such additions as are consistent with Suhm’s later interpretation of the larvæ.—E. Ray Lankester.]
