intermedia, Miinst.; G. elongata, Miinst.; G. modestiformis, 
Miinst.; G. levigata, Miinst.; G'. minuta, Miinst.; G. ver- 
rucosa, Miinst.; and G. Veltheimii, Miinst. In his diagnosis 
of the genus he says that the lateral antenne are as long as 
the rest of the body, filiform, multiarticulate, and situated on 
a peduncle of three joints; the legs of the first pair are long 
and bear large pincers, generally unequal; the legs of the 
second and third pairs are slender, long, and terminated by 
weak didactyle hands, with the outer finger movable; the 
legs of the fourth and fifth pairs are still more slender, and 
terminate in a hooked claw, &c. It would appear therefore 
that the species just named are not G'lyphee, as all the limbs 
in this genus are monodactyle. They were afterwards referred 
to Eryma by H. von Meyer. 
On the other hand, true G'lyphee were described by Minster 
as forming his genus Orphnea, characterized by having the 
outer antenne very long, longer than the rest of the body; 
the legs of the first pair long and very broad, with a single 
curved and pointed claw, which meets only a short tubercle ; 
the other pairs of legs also monodactyle; the claws of the 
fifth pair very long; the carapace shorter than the abdomen, 
which terminates in five rounded caudal plates. Minster 
described six species, namely O. pseudoscyllarus, striata, 
levigata, and pygmea (all afterwards placed in Glyphea under 
the name of G. pseudoscyllarus), O. squamosa (now Gilyphea 
squamosa), and QO. longimana (a doubtful species). Pictet 
(Traité de Pal. 11. p. 447) refers to these species and to Quen- 
stedt’s opinion upon them. 
In the same work (i. p. 45) Miinster described another 
genus of Macrurous Crustacea under the name of Brisa, allied 
to Orphnea, but having the natatory appendages larger and 
more rounded, and situated on the sides of the abdomen. The 
two species B. lucida and B. dubia were from the lithographic 
limestone of Bavaria. ‘These forms have since been referred 
to Gilyphea. 
In 1849 H. von Meyer (Neues Jahrb. 1849, p. 548) met 
with another species, G. Hauensteini, from the freshwater 
Molasse of Oberbuchsiten, in Switzerland. 
In the same year (1849) Robimeau-Desvoidy published 
(Ann. Soc. Ent. Fr. 2° sér. vil. p. 131) a memoir on the 
Crustacea of the Neocomian of Saint Sauveur-en-Puisaye 
(Yonne), in which he described thirty species, twenty-seven 
belonging to the Macrura. A single specimen of Glyphea oc- 
curred; and theauthor named it G. neocomiensis. lt showed 
only four segments of the abdomen (second to fourth), of 
which the first two present five deep furrows traversing the 
whole of the back, separated by elevated lines covered with
