The Trilobite, once the master of the seas, slowly yields to the stronger competitors, and the latter part of the Carboniferous period sees the last genus of Trilobites finally extinguished. The stress favours the development of new and more highly organised Crustacea.
No evidence of past existence of minutely intermediate forms when such might be expected a priori. Bats, Pterodactyles, Dinosauria, and Birds. Ichthyosauria, Chelonia, and Anoura. Horse ancestry. Labyrinthodonts and Trilobites. Two subdivisions of the second relation of species to time.
With respect to the apparently sudden extermination of whole families or orders, as of Trilobites at the close of the palaeozoic period and of Ammonites at the close of the secondary period, we must remember what has been already said on the probable wide intervals of time between our consecutive formations; and in these intervals there may have been much slow extermination.
DEAR M., You say in your last letter, "Do tell me something about your school." If I only had the time, I could write volumes about my school, and especially about my teachers. To begin with, Professor Agassiz gives us lectures on zooelogy, geology, and all other ologies, and draws pictures on the blackboard of trilobites and different fossils, which is very amusing.
The occurrence of annelids is important, on account of their character and status in the animal kingdom. The Wenlock limestone is most remarkable amongst all the rocks of the Silurian system, for organic remains. Many slabs of it are wholly composed of corals, shells, and trilobites, held together by shale.
Protozoans and sponges are exceedingly abundant, and all contribute to the making of Mesozoic strata. Corals have assumed a more modern type. Sea urchins have become plentiful; crinoids abound until the Cretaceous, where they begin their decline to their present humble station. Trilobites and eurypterids are gone. The latter type is higher in organization and now far more common.
Not only have by far the most of the now extinct genera and species their family and stem-companions, and many even their genera and species companions, in the living world, but also those genera whose nearer relations are now extinct as, for instance, the club-moss-trees, the trilobites, the ammonites, the belemnites, the sauria, the nummulites, show still a very perceptible relationship with living genera, and can be quite accurately included in the botanical and zoölogical systems; nay, they even fill up gaps in it.
Since the previous evening, nature and creation had made considerable progress. Instead of the rudimentary trilobites, I perceived the remains of a more perfect order. Among others, the fish in which the eye of a geologist has been able to discover the first form of the reptile.
Sandford used to sit down and tell her of the things she asked about, with a sort of amused patience if it was no more; at any rate he was never impatient. He talked to Daisy of the stars, which, with the moon, were very naturally the next subjects of investigation after the sun. At last Daisy got him upon the subject of trilobites. It was not difficult. Dr.
