Extract

The specimen which forms the subject of this note has been kindly placed in my hands by Professor G. Dewalque for examination, and is of extreme interest and importance to me in my researches upon the Fossil Crustacea. It is not, as was at first supposed, the metastome of Eurypterus or of Pterygotus; on the contrary, it represents an almost entire carapace of a new genus and species of Phyllopod Crustacean allied to Peltocaris
