 ihre Verbreitung in paliiozoiscben Ablagerungen. [Billings's Genus 

 Pasceolus,- and its Distribution.] Zeitsch. deutsch. geol. Ges. Bd. 

 xxvii. Heft 4, pp. 776-783 ; with plate. 

 A fossil from the Middle Devonian of the Eifel is referred to the 

 genus Pasceolus, and described and figured as a new species (P. Rath'i). 

 The author points out the range of the genus (L. Silurian to M. 

 Devonian), and discusses its systematic position. He argues against 

 placing it with the Cystideans, Crinoids, or Sponges ; and it therefore 

 seems that there is no other group to receive it but the Foraminifera^ 

 where the allied genus Receptamlites is placed. But the writer will 

 not commit himself to this position. P. W. R.

 Describes a peculiar group of Trilobites found in certain beds in 

 Jemtland, apparently appertaining to the " Middle Graptolite Schists." 

 The species are of remarkable characters and new, the forms described 

 being Dicellocephalas Blllingsi, Triarthrus Jemtlandicus, Remopleurides 

 microphthalmus, and Bohemilla (?) denticulata. H. A. N.

 Describes two new Trilobites, Liostraciis (?) superstes, and Cyclogna- 

 thus micropygus. The genus CycJognathus, founded for the reception of 

 the latter form, is allied to Peltara. H. A. N.
