"Tlie sternites are still attached to the abdomen, but the carapace has 

 been removed, exposing the inner and upper surface of the cephalothorax, 

 with the bases of five pairs of ambulatory appendages still attached. 

 Length of cephalothoracic portion, 30 mm. .Some of the small ambula- 

 tory legs on the left side are preserved nearly to their extremities, and the 

 bases of the large (chelate) fore-legs can also be seen, one joint of which 

 shows a tuberculated surface. Length of base of area of sternites, 25 mm. ; 

 greatest breadth, 15 mm. There is no trace whatever of the presence of 

 large palinurid antenna?. This and the general character of the thoracic 

 appendages and the form of the abdomen, resembling the modern Homarus 

 rather than Falimirits, lead me to refer this fossil to the genus Hoploparia. 

 I have added the specific name of Bennettii after its discoverer.

"The evidence for this species consists of a nodule (4" x 3", No. 9 in 

 Dr. Whiteaves' list, marked also 59 in white paint) split into two parts, 

 but affording little comfort to the investigator. One can make out an 

 imperfectly preserved carapace (cephalothorax), with a tuberculated sur- 

 face from which two pairs of imperfectly preserved antennas take their 

 origin and the flagella of which can be indistinctly traced. These are 

 followed by a pair of long and slender chelate appendages, with finely 

 tuberculated surfaces, the fingers of the forceps being long and slender 

 as in Enoploclytia Leachii, Two pairs of slender ambulatory legs fol- 

 low ; these also have forcipated or chelate extremities. The abdominal 

 segments are slender and only imperfectly preserved. 



" The specimen is from the Upper Cretaceous of Hornby Island, and 

 was obtained by Mr. W. Harvey in 1893." (Woodward.)
