Extract

In my third Report “on the structure and classification of the fossil Crustacea,” presented on the Geological Section of the of the British Association, at their Meeting in Dundee, 1867, I stated that a new Crustacean had been obtained, in 1858, by Sir Philip Grey-Egerton, Bart., M.P., F.R.S., from the Lower Lias of Barrow-on-Soar, Leicestershire, by whose kindness it is now preserved in the British Museum: and also that another specimen, from the Lower Lias of Somersetshire, belonging evidently to the same species, had subsequently been found by Mr. Charles Moore, F.G.S., at Bath. The specimen from Barrow-on-Soar (the impression and counterpart of which is contained in two blocks of Blue Lias Stone) exhibits on the surface of the slabs, the entire carapace, the eye, antennæ, the five ambulatory thoracic feet; but in this specimen the abdominal somites and caudal appendages are entirely wanting. (See PI. VII. Fig. 1.)

2 The abdominal somites have been added by the artist in outline to Fig. 1, PI. VII. merely to indicate their normal position; they are wanting in this specimen, and although present in Mr. Moore's Crustacean from Bath (Fig. 2. PI. VII.), they are displaced.
