In his note on the genus Gampsoiiychus i=Uronectes^] and its 

 allies in No. 651 of this Journal, Prof. Fritsch dismisses very summa- 

 rily the suggestion that these fossil forms have any near relationship 

 with the living Atiaspides of Tasmania , on the sole ground that he 

 finds them to he destitute of exopods on the thoracic legs. This is by 

 no means sufficient to decide the question. The view which I formerly 

 advocated was based primarily on the fact that ^^ Anaspides agrees 

 with the extinct genera .... in the essential point in which they have 

 hitherto stood alone, the combination of Podophthalmate characters 

 whith a completely segmented body and the lack of a carapace" 2. 

 This agreement, so far as it goes, has been made only the more striking 

 by Prof. Fritsch's investigations, for the presence of pedunculated
