Distribution of the Rhabdophora. 53 



by the Lob if er us and Retiolites beds, which together compose 

 Linnarsson's Upper Graptolite-Schists *. 



The Lobifer us-beds are locally very prolific in Rhabdophora. 

 In a collection from these strata, as exposed at Hunneberg, 

 kindly sent me by Dr. Lindstrom, I recognized 



Monograptus lobiferus, M i Coy. Rastrites hybridus, Lapw. 



cyphus, Lapw. peregrinus, Barr. 



attenuatus, Hopk. Diplograptus folium, His. 



triangulatus, Harhn. tamariscus, Nich. 



Rastrites capillaris ?, Car?: Cliinacograptus norinalis, Lapw. 



In a collection from strata of the same age forwarded to 

 Prof. Nicholson f by Mr. Linnarsson, many of the same forms 

 occur, together with 



Monograptua Sedgwicki, Portl. Monograptua Hisingeri, Carr. 

 gregarius, Lapw. Retiolites perlatus, Nich. 



From the Lobifer us -beds of Kongslena in Westrogothia 

 Mr. Linnarsson J has published 



Monograptua lobiferus, M'Coy. Diplograptus palmeus, Mis. 



Hisingeri, Can: ruodestus, Lapw. 



Sandersoni, Lapw. cometa, Geinitz. 



Sedgwicki, Portl. tamariscus, Nich. 



spiralis, Geinitz. Climacograptus rectangularis, 



triangularis, Harhn. M'Coy. 



Rastrites peregrinus, Barr, 



From loose boulders, probably of corresponding age, he has 

 subsequently collected 



Monograptus runciuatus, Lapw. Rastrites maximus, Can: 



and more recently from grey shales, presently identified with 

 the highest Lob tfer us -hcds of Scania, he has obtained the 

 Gala species § 



Monograptus crispus, Lapw. Monograptus lobiferus (M'Coy). 



In Dalecarlia the representatives of the Llandovery strata || 

 appear to be the Kallholn Schists, Stygfors Schists, and Lep- 

 te«a-Limestone of the neighbourhood of Lake Siljan. From 

 the Kallholn schists Dr. Tornquist enumerated the following- 

 species in 1873 : — 



Climacograptus teretiusculus, His. Monograptus Sagittarius, His. 



Diplograptus pristis, His. convolutus, His. 



palmeus, Barr. Rastrites peregrinus, Ban: 



Monograptus Becki, Ban:
