KIRKBY AND ATTHEY ON FISH REMAINS. yA | 
Not rare during the spring months on the sands near South 
Shields. I also met with it in October, at Long Benton. 
52. Cis restivus, Panz. 
Gyll. UJ. c. 11. 381, 4. 
Rare: Ouseburn dene. I have taken it also in Cumberland. 
53. OcroTEMNUS GLABRICULUS, Gyll. 
Cis glabriculus, Gyll. 1. c. iv. 629. 
Exceedingly common in Boleti. Hitherto it has done duty 
in our collections as Cs nitidus, from which, however, it may 
readily be separated by the fewer joints in the antenna. 
54. Tomicus cALcogRapuHus, Linn. 
Bostrichus calcographus, Gyll. l. c. ii. 358, 6.

XIX.—On some Fish Remains from the Durham and North- 
umberland Coal Measures. By J. W. Kirxsy and THomas 
Artury. [Plate VI.] 
Tue fossils described in this communication form part of an 
extensive suite which we have collected from the coal measures 
of Northumberland and Durham. Our collection includes both 
animal and vegetable remains, the former, however, prepon- 
derating. 
The vegetable fossils of this coal-field are, of course, already 
well known by the researches of Messrs. Lindley and Hutton. 
They have, moreover, been subjected to additional investigation 
since the great work of the latter authors was published; and 
even now researches are being carried on by Messrs. Howse and 
Taylor with the object of arriving at a correct knowledge of the 
relationships that exist between these fossils aud the Car- 
boniferous floras of foreign countries. 
Little, on the other hand, has been done towards elucidating 
the animal fossils that occur along with the plants in the coal 
strata of the two counties. Professor King has cercainly pub- 
lished a paper on the Anthrocoside occurring in this formation;
