bourhood of Dundry and Bath, and embodies them in a paper 
read at Clevedon in 1860 (vol. x. pt. ii, p. 155). He had 
been busily at work at the Hampton Rocks and elsewhere 
in the vicinity, making further additions to his list of 
Brachiopoda and collecting materials for his description of the . 
developement of the loop in Terebratella. About this time he 
‘appears to have been in communication with Mr, Davidson, and 
was of much service to him in the preparation of his great mono- 
graph upon the British Brachiopoda, published by the Palzonto- 
graphical Society. A letter appears in the Geological Magazine 
for 1868 (vol. v., p. 343), in which he defends himself against 
certain criticisms from C. J. A. Méyer (p. 270) on the develop- 
ment of the loop in the Terebratulide As a proof of the correct- 
ness of his figures he states that the original sketches of the loops 
were carefully drawn by Mr. Davidson, a sufficient guarantee of 
their correctness; and concludes with the statement that he had 
just found the genus Thecideum in one of the lead veins of the 
Carboniferous Limestone of Yorkshire—a genus not hitherto found 
in England below the Lias, or on the Continent below the St. ~ 
Cassian beds. The precise age of the vein would have yet to be 
‘determined. 
At Ilminster, in 1866, he read his well-known paper ‘On 
the Middle and Upper Lias of the S. W. of England,” (Proce. 
Som. Arch. and Nat. Hist. Soc., vol. xiii., pt. i, p. 117), in which 
the results of his work and discoveries in these formations are 
summed up, containing a mine from which subsequent observers 
have largely drawn. At the end of the paper is a communication 
signed “H. B. B.,” (Hy. B. Brady) on the specimens of Upper 
and Middle Lias Foraminifera,* sent to the writer by Charles 
Moore, and allusion is made to the various notes which have 
appeared from time to time in scientific periodicals since Mr 
* This was probably the paper on “ Fossil Infusoria,” alluded 
to op. cit, 240.
