My friend Prof. T. Rupert Jones, F.R.S., has lately received several Palæozoic fossils for examination from the rich collection of Mrs. Robert Gray, of Edinburgh, and has, with the owner's kind permission, placed two pieces of a very remarkabte fossil in my hands, for the purpose of examination and description.

page 357 note 2 We are reminded by the Solenocaris of Young of the small oblong bivalved Crustacean carapaces, named by Prof. T. Rupert Jones Leaia (see Appendix to a Monograph of the Fossil Estheritœ, by T. Rupert Jones, Pal. Soc. Mon. 1862, p. 116 pl. v. figs. 11, 12, Leaia Lcidyi, Pennsylvania; L. Leidyi, var. Williamsoniana, Jones, op. cit. p. 117, pl. i. figs. 19, 20, and var. Salteriana, fig. 21, from Ardwick, Manchester, and Fifeshire; others are known from Edinburgh, Bristol, South Wales, Germany, Nova Scotia, and Illinois); but the sculpturing and ornamentation is, to all appearance, that of Estheria.Google Scholar
