On some New Macrurous Crustacea from the Kimmeridge Clay of the Sub-Wealden Boring, Sussex, and from Boulogne-sur-Mer, by Henry Woodward, published January 1876 in Quarterly Journal of the Geological Society (vol. 32, issue 1-2, article, pp.47-50) View Online
Abstract:It has always appeared to me to be a point of special interest to geologists to record those forms found in a fossil state which have a considerable vertical range, and yet belong to genera existing at the present day. Among higher groups now living, we find the vertical range exceedingly small; but when we examine the Invertebrata, we meet with such genera as Lingula, Pentacrinus, and Limulus having an extremely high antiquity; but the higher forms of these types follow precisely the same general law, having a much more restricted range in time than the lower and humbler genera.
One of the Crustacea about to be described by me belongs to a very interesting group, the family of the Thalassinidæ.

On Meyeria Willettii, a New Macrourous Crustacean from the Chalk of Sussex, by HenryWoodward, published December 1878 in Geological Magazine (vol. 5, issue 12, article, pp.556-558) View Online
Abstract:The genus Meyeria was established by Prof. M'Coy, in 1849, for the reception of certain Crustaceans from the Gault and Greensand, found at Speeton, Yorkshire, and at Atherfield, in the Isle of Wight. A new form has been most obligingly sent to me for examination by Henry Willett, Esq., F.G.S.; and this being in a more perfect state of preservation than any heretofore obtained, enables me to refer to the same species about eight other remains from the Chalk preserved in the British Museum and including the carapace figured on pl. xxxviii. fig. 8 of Dixon's Geology of Sussex.
