Prof. F. M'Coy on the Classification of 



de Normandie, Morris's Catalogue, &c.), and some similar forms 

 from the gault, form a peculiar genus intermediate between Ho- 

 mola and Cori/stes, and belonging not to the Brachyura but to 

 the Anomura, for which I have proposed the name Podopilumnus. 

 3. Inachus : Desmarest (Crust. Foss.), Morris (CataL), and seve- 

 ral other authors have quoted a species of this genus as found 

 fossil in the London clay : — the figures and descriptions which 

 I give below, from the abundance of perfect specimens which I 

 have examined, leave no room for doubt that the fossil in question 

 does not belong to the Brachyura but belongs to the Anomuray 

 and forms a particular genus allied to Notopus, Dorippe and the 

 like, to which I have given the name Notopocorystes. 4. Corystes 

 (Latreille) : the gault fossils referred to this genus in Morris's 

 ' Catalogue ' belong to the same Anomurous genus as the so- 

 called Orithya.

 longer than broad, and form together a tumid ridge of three
