Additions to our List of Palaeontological 

 Specialists. 



TN our December number (vol. ix., p. 361) we published a list of 

 ^ specialists willing, under the conditions there stated, to determine 

 fossils for stratigraphers. Our first duty now is to thank our con- 

 temporaries for the favourable terms in which they have spoken of our 

 action, and various correspondents whose commendations we have 

 unfortunately no space to publish. Better, however, than these kind 

 words, is the fact that a slight prejudice which a few had at first 

 against the scheme seems to be disappearing, so that we can now

Arthropods — 

 Ostracods 

 Phyllopods 

 Eurypterids . .

 Scorpions or other 



Arachnids.

foraminifera 



Plants

From any horizon

ture is preserved) . . )

Our readers are also asked to correct the name of one of the 

 genera in which Miss Donald is specially interested, from Aelisina to 

 AcUsina. 



Mr. E. J. Garwood, Secretary to the British Association 

 Committee appointed for the study of life-zones in the British 

 Carboniferous rocks, asks us to call attention to the Report of that 

 committee. This we have already done more than once. We may, 

 however, add that the report contains a list of eleven palaeontologists 

 asked to co-operate with the committee " to identify such fossils as 

 may be submitted to them." We did not allude to this list for the 

 following reasons : first, we received authoritative information . that 

 some of the naturalists mentioned had declined the proposals of the 

 committee in whole or part ; secondly, four of their number definitely
