150 DUBLEff NATURAL HISTORY SOCIETY. 



Rev. Professor Haughton, P.T.C.D., laid before the Society a va- 

 luable communication from Mr. Joseph Wright of Cork. It was a list 

 of carboniferous fossils, the great majority of which had been obtained 

 near that city ; a few, however, were from Clonmel and Castleconnell, 

 in the counties of Tipperary and Clare, and one species was from Kil- 

 dare. This list was only the first of a series which Mr. Wright had 

 promised to favour the Society with, and was peculiarly useful, as the 

 localities and species were accurately and minutely given. Some of the 

 species recorded were of extreme interest, and had been already brought 

 under the notice of the Society at their January meeting, as either new 

 to our Irish lists or altogether new to science. He might call attention 

 to the most remarkable : Orthoceras {Actinoceras) giganteum ; Mr. 

 Wright's specimen is a remarkably fine one ; Loxonema rugifera, and 

 Lox. sulculosa; see remarks on these species in January last; Flaty- 

 schisma cirroides ; and Acroculia canaliculata.
