bratula seminulum of Philippi. During the summer of the 

 same year Mr. M 'Andrew procured a number of specimens 

 of a minute Terebratula attached to a stone dredged in 

 thirty fathoms 1 water off Oroulin Island, near Skye. Some 

 of these he forwarded to the meeting of the British Asso- 

 ciation at Oxford, where they were hailed with pleasure 

 by zoologists and geologists as the living representatives 

 of the supposed extinct crag fossil. They subsequently 

 proved identical with Mr. Jeffreys's shell. Mr. Jeffreys 

 has just communicated to us the interesting information 

 that two specimens have been taken this summer (1849) 

 by Mr. Barlee at the haaf, or deep-water fishing-grounds 

 of Zetland.
