CRiDiE make their first appearance in the Cretaceous Series, with 

 XaniJio Fischeri from the Gault of Neuchatel, and Colaxanthus for- 

 mosus from the Upper Greenland (Cenomanian) of Le Mans, Sarthe. 

 Next we find Xanthosia (with 2 species) in the Upper Greensand 

 of Wiltshire and Cambridge ; Etyus (with 3 species from the same 

 locality as Xanthosia, and one species from the Planer-Kalk of 

 Bohemia) ; Plagiolophus formosus from the Upper Cretaceous of 

 Mecklenburg, and Cancer (with one species from Mecklenburg and 



3 from the Chalk of Bohemia) ; Xanthopsis minor, Stolley, Middle 

 Oligocene, Southern and Northern Germany. Xanthopsis Dufourii, 

 A. Milne-Edw., Eocene ; Plagiolophus Wetherellii, Bell, Xanthilites 

 (1 species), Necrozius Bowerbankii, A. Milne-Edw., Xanthopsis (with 



4 species) — all from the London Clay of Sheppey ; also 5 species of 

 Xanthopsis and 1 of Xanthelites from the Nummulitic of Bavaria, of 

 Prance, and Germany. Etisus, sp., is from the Nummulitic of the 

 Landes, Erance. 



Palwocarpilius has 6 species, found in the Eocene of Kressen- 

 berg, the Nummulitic of Verona, of Dax and the Gironde, and the 

 Calcaire Grossier near Paris. Harpactocarcinus has 8 species from 

 the Nummulitic of Italy, Erance, Spain, and New Zealand ; and 

 the genus Neptunus, with 8 species, comes from the Nummulitic of 

 the Yicentino, of Sassari, and Montpellier, from the Miocene of 

 Kutch, India, and from Malta. 



Podophthalmus has only a single species, from the Tertiary ; and 

 Syphax crassus is known from the Nummulitic of Aude, France. 



Eight species of Cancer occur in the Eocene of Erance, and in 

 the Miocene and Pliocene of Italy, etc. 



Phlyctenodes, with 2 species, is found in the Nummulitic of 

 Erance, and one species in the Miocene of the Yicentino. 



Eriphia spinifrons is from the Quaternary of Nice ; Galena obscura 

 from China ; Lobonotus sculptus is known from San Domingo ; Palazo- 

 carpilius, with 2 species, occurs in the Miocene of Kutch, India. 



Atergatis, sp., has been obtained from the Miocene of Malta and 

 A. dubius from that of Dax, Southern France. 



A crab which delights in a very remarkable serrated front to 

 his carapace and also enjoys the longest name extant — Lobocarcinus 

 Paulino-Wurtemburgensis — occurs very abundantly in the Miocene 

 beds of the Mokattam quarries near Cairo, Egypt. 



Actcea persica is met with in the Newer Tertiary of the Isle of 

 Kharu, near Bushire, Persian Gulf. 



Zozymus Desmaresti is found in the Quaternary of Eastern Asia
