CATALOGUE OF PHILOSOPHICAL APPARATUS, &c. 21 



LlAS, OOLITE, AND JURA LIMESTONE. 



Drawer 12. Casts of the impressions of the Cheirotherium, or Hand-animal. 

 Supposed by Professor Owen (Palaeontology) to have been produced 

 by a Batrachian animal, called by him Labyrinthodon. 



Drawer 13 and 14. Lias fossils, chiefly Ammonites, from Dorsetshire. 



Mostly polished specimens, bought at Dr. Buckland's sale. 



These curious Cephalopodes seem to have been first brought into existence at this period, 

 as they do not occur in the more antient rocks. They abound throughout the Oolitic and 

 Cretaceous strata, but were extinct in the Tertiary period, and do not occur in the present seas. 

 See Phillips' work, entitled "Life on the Earth," 1860. p. 102. 



Drawer 15. Lias with organic remains. Westbury upon Severn. 



Drawer 16. The same from Gloucestershire. 



Containing, amongst other fossils, Avicula longicostata.

A more complete series of the latter is to be seen in the Sherard Room, under the glass case 

 containing specimens of Phosphate of Lime. For Dr. Buekland's paper, in which he proved 

 that these concretions were the faeces of extinct animals, see the Geological Transactions, vol. III.
