SPECIMENS EXHIBITED. 



Mr John Young exhibited an interesting series of specimens of 

 the genus Fenestella, a group of lace-like organisms which he had 

 lately obtained in great perfection at Newfield Quarry, High 

 Blantyre. One species, with its beautiful feather-like fronds, 

 appears to be undescribed, and is almost peculiar to that district. 

 From the same quarry he also exhibited a fine specimen of Stenopora 

 tumida and Ceriopom interporosa, which showed the habit of growth 

 in these organisms in a more complete state than any specimens 

 which have yet been figured.
