Geology. 



to Devonian) rocks of his adopted country, publishing the results mainly 

 in the great work, entitled "Systeme Silurien du Centre de la Boheme,'' 

 of which the first volume was issued in 1852, and which is still continued 

 by a committee. His vast collections were made by specially retained 

 and systematically instructed workers, and the greater part, including the 

 specimens figured in his works, was bequeathed to the "Museum des 

 Konigreichs Bohmen" in Prague. An extensive series of fine specimens 

 was, however, sent by Barrande to the British Museum, in three separate 

 lots, during the years 1854-6, and these were purchased in the Januaries 

 of 1855, 1856, and 1857. The following is the resume of the three 

 sendings, certified as correct by Barrande himself: 



Trflobites 



Crustacea divers 



Cephalopodes 



Pteropodes 



Gaste'roppdes 



Acephales 



Brachiopodes 



Echinodermes 



Graptolites 



Poiypiers. 



Incerte Sedis 



Fucoides 



744 



Each specimen is accompanied by a lithographed label, giving its 

 name, horizon, and locality ; and thus, though not the actual originals, 

 the collection is a most important aid to the study of Barrande's publica- 

 tions. It has been supplemented by subsequent purchases from the 

 Bohemian Museum, through Dr. A. Fritsch, e.g., of Trilobites in 1897. 



Barrett (LUCAS) 



Presented a Hippurite (Barrettia monilifera) from the Cretaceous of 

 Jamaica, 1862. 



Basadre (Doir MODESTO) 



Presented remains of ScelidotJierium from Pleistocene of Tarapaca, 

 Peru, 1886. 



Bateson (WILLIAM) 



Presented Eocene fossils from the Sea of Aral, 1888. 



Bather (FBANCIS ABTHUB) 



Collected and presented Silurian fossils from Gotland in 1893; Pleis- 

 tocene shells from New Zealand and Palaeozoic crinoids from North 

 America in 1894; various Bussian fossil Invertebrata in 1898. 



Baugh (THOMAS) 



Collected fossils from the Carboniferous Limestone of Shropshire and 

 associated formations; his whole collection, including many teeth and 

 spines of fishes, purchased 1870.
