this great work are of highest importance to Palaeontologists, 

 and are not generally known. We are indebted for the 

 information to Professor E. Renevier, of Lausanne,* who 

 gathered them personally from the younger Sowerby. 



Of the Scotch fossils described by these authors, those 

 from the Lothians were forwarded to them, by Dr Fleming, 

 and those from the Closeburn limestone by C. Stuart Men- 

 teath, Esq., the proprietor of the quarries on that estate. 



The species described, with their references and dates of 

 publication, are :

During the publication of the " Mineral Conchology," the 

 Rev. Dr Fleming published his "History of British Animals," J 

 at that time the most complete compendium of British Zoo- 

 logy. Fleming, who added much to our knowledge of Scotch 

 fossils, gives brief descriptions of the species common through- 

 out the British Islands. Frequent reference is made to the 

 figures published by Ure, and several species were named 

 after him by Fleming, who was, I believe, the first to identify 

 many of lire's drawings with the species created by other 

 naturalists in the interim.
