This early or premature hatching out of the young characterisesthe Phyllopoda, and indeed most living Entomostraca. In thoseTrilobites whose early history is known the young, as in Sao,Ptychoparia, TriartTirus, Proetiis, Acidaspis, and Dahnanites, ar&almost as simple, or even more so, in their earliest known stagesas Cyclus (see Beecher and Barrandes figures infra, p. 492).
