Of the ciglit species eniunerated in tlie preceding list only four, 

 all from the regio A Olenorum, are stated to occur in Sweden. 

 As Professor Angelin refers to his regio A not only the Olenus 

 beds, but also the lowest and highest parts of the Paradoxides 

 beds, it is imcertain whether any of these species belong to the 

 Paradoxides beds. — In studying the Primordial deposits of Westro- 

 gothia, I found that the strata with Paradoxides Forchhammeri 

 abounded in Brachiopoda, which I, partly erroneously, referred 

 to the genera Orthis, Obolella, Discina and Lingula. ^) This 

 induced me to direct special attention to the Brachiopoda of the 

 Paradoxides beds in general, and therefore I have, of late, brought 



i Vestergötland, K. Vet. Akad. Handl. Bd 9, N:o 7. 1871). The generic 



position of both is very doubtful. At least the former should probably 



form a new genus.

 ^) Atrypa micula is cited l)y Dalman (K. Vet. Akad. Handl. 1827, p. 135) 



from a black limestone at Fågelsång, and is probably a Lower Silurian 



species. It can hardly be identified from the short description of 



Dalman.
