 Eusarcus scorptionis is described from the impression of the ventral 

 surface. It is allied to Eurypterus and Pterygotus, but is thought to 

 be higher, *' from the peculiar differentiation of the body expressed by 

 the narrowness of its cephalo-thoracic portion, and the sudden con- 

 striction of the terminal segments." W. W.

 Describes Eusarcus grandis, one of the largest known Crustaceans 

 from the Water-Lime Group, and Pterygotus Cummingsice, with a 

 drawing of one of the swimming feet (maxilliped or octognath). This 

 is thought to be the first notice of a maxilliped of Pterygotus from 

 American beds. R. B. N.
