368 Mr Murchison on Stratified Deposits. 



N.B. — No vegetable remains, except the Fucus serra (Brongn.), 

 and some very imperfect fragments of Fucoids ? have been found 

 in any portion of the deposits below the carboniferous limestone^ 

 nor has any coaly matter been detectedj except small nests of An- 

 thracite. In this list of organic remains, only such individuals have 

 been mentioned as are characteristic of each subdivision. Others, 

 as, for example, the Terebratula affinis, M. C. (Atrypa reticularis y 

 Wahl.), which occurs in several formations, have been omitted in 

 this short Table, but will be given hereafter in a full and descrip- 

 tive account of all the organic remains. None of the species of 

 corals or shells are identical with those found in the true carboni- 

 ferous limestone. 



fWe recommend this important tabular view, and conse- 

 quently the projected work of Mr Murchison, to the attention 

 of geologists of every country. His investigations have been 

 conducted in a manner worthy of general imitation. To the 

 geologists of Scotland, who know the different greywackes to 

 the north and the south of the Frith of Forth, as described by 

 Professor Jameson in his lectures and writings, the tabular 

 view will prove very useful.]
