Discussion. 
Dr. Woopwarp pointed out that the discoveries of the Author had 
carried the Macrurous Decapod Crustacea far lower down in the 
geological series than they had before been found. He had himself 
examined a species of Macrurous Crustacean from the Carboni- 
ferous Limestone. 
Rev. J. F. Braxs asked, if the legs were six in number and the 
animal had sessile eyes, what were the grounds on which it was 
classed as a Decapod. 
The Avuruor replied that there is no certain evidence in the speci- 
mens as to the number of legs, or as to whether the eyes were 
sessile or pedunculated; the former are fragmentary and the latter 
crushed.
