•The Silurian basin of Podolia and Galicia shows almost perfect 



identity with that of northern Europe, especially with the Silurians of 



Qilsel and Gotland. It also resembles the Wenlock and Ludlow groups 



of England, with passage into Devonian, by means of beds containing 



Pteraspls and Pterygotus. On the other hand it differs greatly from 



the Silurians of Bohemia, having only a few Brachiopods in common.
