(No. 2 was collected by Mr. W. Harvey, Comox River, Vancouver Island, 1892; No. 3 by Dr. C. F. Newcombo.) Carapace smooth and gently convex in front, and very finely and minutely granulated. Latero-anterior border armed with four serrations on each side, frontal border marked by one prominent and one smaller tooth on either side of the small oifid rostrum, while two fissures mark the margin of each orbit. Under surface of carapace not exposed. The regions of the carapace are very indistinct; two slightly divergent raised lines about 5 millim. in length mark the frontal region just behind the rostrum, and there is a faint ridge down the centre of the carapace. A small tubercle on either side, behind the frontal region, marks the epigastric lobe. A faint curved and bifurcating line separates the gastric from the cardiac regions, while two slightly rugose and incised lines curve outward and forward from the central cardiac region, marking the limits of the branchial region on either side. Of the several species of Palccocwystes known, the present form, "which I have ventured to call F. Harveyi after its discoverer, approaches most nearly to P. Broderipii from the Gault of Folke- stone, but is probably one-third larger. The latero-anterior border of the former (P. Harveyi) has four spines on each side, whilst P. Broderipii has only two. The orbital regions difier in form, as well as the markings on the regions of the carapace. We must await more complete materials before attempting a fuller and more careful description; meantime it is interesting to meet with a species f
