Note 411 — Chapter XXI · PYCNOGONIDA[393]
Reading edition
The correspondence is not universally admitted. Meinert (Ingolf Expedition, 1899) believes that the second and third appendages of the larva disappear, and that the palps and ovigerous legs are new developments; so giving to the normal Pycnogon nine instead of seven appendages. See also Carpenter “On the Relationship between the Classes of the Arthropoda,” Proc. R. Irish Acad. xxiv., 1903, pp. 320–360. The latest observer (Loman) inclines to the older view.
