anterior claws ; and the one where there are three to the claw of one side, for it is 

 very common for one claw to be larger than the other, and sometimes the difference 

 of size is exceedingly great." 



"I cannot say that g and e are Crustaceans, as some large Isopods have legs that 

 would make as strong impressions. But in Isopods the three anterior of the seven 

 pairs of legs are directed obliquely forward, and the four posterior pairs obliquely 

 backward, so that there would hardly be with such animals the exact uniformity of 

 direction these tracks present." 



In bringing this paper to a conclusion, I must here express my acknowledgements 

 to the gentlemen who have so politely responded to my request for information. I 

 am also under peculiar obligations to Koswell Field, Esq., who is the discoverer of all 

 the original specimens of the two plates and those of the diagram A, and who kindly 

 loaned the specimen. The estate of Mr. Field is situated at Turner's Falls, and by 

 his sagacity and activity he has been very successful in developing the history of these 

 sandstone fossils. He has made many very splendid discoveries. The fossils that 

 constitute the originals of the plates and diagrams are exclusively from Turner's Falls.
