Extract

The specimen referred to in the following note is I believe the first example of a Macrourous Crustacean from the Carboniferous of Nova Scotia; and it is interesting to find, as pointed out to me by Mr. Woodward, that its affinities are so close with the long known Palœocarabus dubius of Prestwich, and Anthra-palœmon of Salter, from the English and Scottish Coal-measures. It was found by Mr. Albert G. Hill, manager of the Cumberland Coal-mine, at the South Joggins in Nova Scotia, in one of the bands of black bituminous limestone which occur in the middle part of the Coal Formation.
