Eligible facilities and equipment may include land (but not public highways), buses and other rolling stock, and other real or personal property needed for an efficient and coordinated mass transportation system. No grant or loan shall be provided under this section unless the Administrator determines that the applicant has or will have (1) the legal, financial, and technical capacity to carry out the proposed project, and (2) satisfactory continuing control, through operation or lease or otherwise, over the use of the facilities and equipment. No such funds shall be used for payment of ordinary governmental or nonproject operating expenses. (b) No loan shall be made under this section for any project for which a grant is made under this section, except grants made for relocatioli payments in accordance with section 7(b). I^oans under this section shall be subject to the restrictions and limitations set forth in paragraphs (1), (2), and (3) of section 202(b) of the Housing Amendments of 1955. The authority provided in section 203 of such yg^stat^^iyV^' Amendments to obtain funds for loans under clause (2) of section 202 42 USC 1492.

31 USC 529.

SEC. 4. (a) Except as specified in section 5, no Federal financial assistance shall be provided pursuant to section 3 unless the Administrator determines that the facilities and equipment for which the assistance is sought are needed for carrying out a program, meeting criteria established by him, for a unified or officially coordinated urban transportation system as a part of the comprehensively planned development of the urban area, and are necessary for the sound, economic, and desirable development of such area. Such program shall encourage to the maximum extent feasible the participation of private enterprise. Where facilities and equipment are to be acquired which are already being used in mass transportation service in the urban area, the program must provide that they shall be so improved (through modernization, extension, addition, or otherwise) that they will better serve the transportation needs of the area. The Administrator, on the basis of engineering studies, studies of economic feasibility, and data showing the nature and extent of expected utilization of the facilities and equipment, shall estimate what portion of the cost of a project to be assisted under section 3 cannot be reasonably financed from revenues—which portion shall hereinafter be called "net project cost". The Federal grant for such a project shall not exceed two-thirds of the net project cost. The remainder of the net project cost shall be provided, in cash, from sources other than Federal funds, and no refund or reduction of that portion so provided shall be made at any time unless there is at the same time a refund of a proportional amount of the Federal grant. (b) To finance grants under this Act there is hereby authorized to be appropriated at any time after its enactment not to exceed $75,000,000 for fiscal year 1965; $150,000,000 for fiscal year 1966; and $150,000,000 for fiscal year 1967. Any amount so appropriated shall remain available until expended; and any amount authorized but not appropriated for any fiscal year may be appropriated for any succeeding fiscal year. The Administrator is authorized, notwithstanding the provisions of section 3648 of the Revised Statutes, as amended, to make advance or progress payments on account of any grant made pursuant to this Act. E M E R G E N C Y PROGRAM

SEC. 5. Prior to July 1, 1967, Federal financial assistance may be provided pursuant to section 3 where (1) the program for the development of a unified or officially coordinated urban transportation system, referred to in section 4(a), is under active preparation although not yet completed, (2) the facilities and equipment for which the assistance is sought can reasonably be expected to be required for such a system, and (3) there is an urgent need for their preservation or provision. The Federal grant for such a project shall not exceed one-half of the net project cost: Provided, That where a Federal grant is made on such a one-half basis, and the planning requirements specified in section 4(a) are fully met within a three-year period after the execution of the grant agreement, an additional grant may then be made to the

The remainder of the net project cost shall be provided, in cash, from sources other than Federal funds, and no refund or reduction of that portion so provided shall be made at any time unless there is at the same time a refund of a proportional amount of the Federal grant. RESEARCH, DEVELOPMENT, A N D DEMONSTRATION PROJECTS

SEC. 6. (a) The Administrator is authorized to undertake research, development, and demonstration projects in all phases of urban mass transportation (including the development, testing, and demonstration of new facilities, equipment, techniques, and methods) which he determines will assist in the reduction of urban transportation needs, the improvement of mass transportation service, or the contribution of such service toward meeting total urban transportation needs at minimum cost. He may undertake such projects independently or by contract (including working agreements with other Federal departments and agencies). I n carrying out the provisions of this section, the Administrator is authorized to request and receive such information or data as he deems appropriate from public or private sources. (b) The Administrator may make available to finance projects under this section not to exceed $10,000,000 of the mass transportation grant authorization provided in section 4(b), which limit shall be increased to $20,000,000 on July 1, 1965, and to $30,000,000 on July 1, 1966. I n addition, notwithstanding the provisions of section 4 of this Act or of section 103(b) of the Housing Act of 1949, the unobligated balance of the amount available for mass transportation demonstration grants pursuant to the proviso in such section 103(b) shall be available solely for financing projects under this section.

Such grants may be in addition to other financial assistance for the project under section 3, and no part of the amount of such relocation payments shall be required to be contributed as a local grant.

 margins, while the succeeding segments have approximately straight transverse margins. The segments possess faintly outlined pleural areas denoted by a flattening of the lateral region, and a small spine on the postlateral angles. The spines of the last segment are distinguished from the others by their size, but do not grow into the long lobes which flank the telson in other species of Eurypterus. The posterior doublures are short, not one fourth as long as the segments.

The telson is short, having one fourth the length of the body, contracts rapidly from the articulation to one half its width and then continues slender to the bluntly triangular point. The margins are marked by oblique fine incisions that increase in size posteriorly and form a tuft of spines surrounding the point. The upper side is flat or slightly concave, the underside furnished with a rather narrow, flat-topped carina.

Appendages. The appendages of the cephalothorax with exception of the chelicerae were well known to Hall. They agree in all features with those of the closely related. The preoral appendages have been found more or less entangled with the endognathites; a single detached chelicera, lacking only the basal segment has however been observed [ pl. 7, fig. 1]. The pair of pincers is broadest at the base, about twice as long as broad; the blades occupy only about one third of the length of the pincers; they are broadest at the base, taper rapidly, are edentulous, and with very acute tips. The tip of the movable blade is bent inward and is needlelike. The endognathites are relatively short and robust; of the first pair only the terminal spines or claws project beyond the shield border, while the members of the second pair extend for about one half their length beyond it, and those of the third pair clear it by fully three fourths their length. The fourth pair reaches beyond the third by the length of its last three segments. The first three pairs are of equal width, and in the first, the segments are twice as wide as long. The spines are long, slender, curved, paired and of subequal length, each segment bearing one pair [ pl. 7, fig. 3]. The hooklike long, reflexed evagination of the fifth segment of the second endognathite in the male which has been
