that the nodule containing the specimen was picked up by a lady in 

 Scotland. 



Prof. Morris remarked that the New Zealand Crab was of espe- 

 cial interest. All the previously described species of Harpactocar- 

 cinus had been obtained from Nummulitic deposits in the south of 

 Europe ; and the same concurrence was observed in New Zealand. 

 Similar phenomena occurred in Australia, where many species re- 

 sembling European forms had been discovered by M'Coy. 



Mr. Etheridge said that one of Mr. Woodward's papers demon- 

 strated the value of the Sub-Wealden boring. He had examined 

 the cores, and had come to the conclusion that the Oxford Clay was 

 reached at 500 feet; but in this he was mistaken, owing to his 

 having wrongly identified the Ammonite discovered at that depth 

 with Ammonites jason. The occurrence of the same species of 

 Crustacean at Boulogne and in Sussex was of great interest, as 

 marking the identity of the deposit in the two localities. Lingula 

 ovalis occurred with other fossils throughout the Kimmeridge Clay 

 of the boring. 



Mr. Woodward thanked Mr. Charlesworth for his endeavours to 

 ascertain the locality from which his Liihomantis was obtained, but 

 remarked that, whatever this might be, there could be no doubt as 

 to its geological horizon.
