Obituary — Captain Leivis Moysey. 191 



nodules than from those found naturally inclined to split in tlie 

 clay-pit. Out of some ninety nod.ules cracked by freezing he had 

 obtained three specimens of Belimirus, one of Palceoxyris, two of 

 a '■^ new shrimp -like animal", and one complete but diminutive 

 example possibly akin to Arthropletira annata of Jordan from 

 Saarbrucken — he enumerated fifty-seven different fossil organisms 

 obtained (see Geol. Mag., 1908, pp. 220-2). 



The new shrimp -like animal {Prceanaspides prcBcursot^ H. "Woodw.) 

 referred to by Dr. Moysey, and discovered by him, proved to be of 

 the very highest interest, being a Coal-measure representative, or 

 ancestral form, of the rare modern Schizopod Anaspides tasnianice 

 from Mt. Wellington, Tasmania (see H. Woodward, Geol. Mag., 1908, 

 pp. 385-96). 



On March 23, 1910, Dr. Moy.sey read a paper before the Geological 

 Society of London on Falceoxyris and other allied fossils from the 

 Derby and Nottingham Coal-field (see Quart. Journ. Geol. Soc, 

 vol. Ixvi, pp. 329-44, pis. xxiv-vii, 1910). 



- Dr. Moysey contributed a note on some undescribed Coal-measure 

 fossils from the Nottinghamshire coal-field (British Association,, 

 Sheffield, 1910, Sect. C, see also Geol. Mag., 1910, p. 474). 



In 1911 Mr. R. I. Pocock, F.R S., contributed a "Monograph of the 

 Terrestrial Carboniferous Arachnida of Great Britain" to the annual 

 volume of the Paljeontographical Society for 1910, in which tAvo 

 species obtained by Dr. L. Moysey are figured and described, namely : 

 Eohuthus holti, sp. nov. (see p. 15, pi. ii, fig. 2a) and Geralinura 

 hritannica, sp. nov. (p. 30, pi. ii, fig. 3). 



In the Geological Magazine for 1911, pp. 497-507, twelve Text- 

 figures, Dr. Moysey described a further series of fossils from the 

 Notts and Derbyshire Coal-field, including a new bivalved 

 Entomostracan, Zert^'«^r^yow^'o^<^«s, sp. nov. (Fig. 1, p. 498), parts of an 

 undescribed Arthropod, and remains of FrestwicMa{?), of a Scorpion, 

 ol JEiirypterus, carapace of Anthracosiro sp., of A. Fritschii, Pocock 

 (Figs. 7, 8, p. 603, and Fig. 9, p. 504), of A. Woodivardi, Pocock 

 (Fig. 10, p. 504), an opisthoma of Anthracomarhis (Figs. 11, 12, 

 p. 505); he appends a list of sixteen Arthropods and six other 

 fossil remains. 



At the Meeting of the British Association, Birmingham, 1913, 

 Dr. Moysey read a paper on Palceoxyris and other allied fossils and 

 on Vetacapsula (see Geol. Mag., 1913, pp. 453-5). The author 

 compares these problematical bodies from the Coal-measures with 

 the egg-cases of Chimcera collei, Rhinochimcera, and other Chimaeroid 

 sharks. 



In 1914 (Geol. Mag., pp. 541-4, PL XXXVIII) Dr. W. T. 

 Caiman figures and briefly describes a remarkable new form of 

 " Myriopod-like " Arthropod probably related to Arthropletira armata 

 of Jordan, from the Coal-measures of Saarbrucken, of which similar 

 fragmentary remains have baen obtained from other coal-fields of 

 France and in this country. Dr. Caiman considers it to be a new 

 species of Arthropod {incertrs sedis), and names it Arthropleura 

 Moyseyi after the discoverer. Dr. L. Moysey.
