is also contracted to a similar minute neck in front; surface 
smooth. Length of imdividual cells wairiacige 1 lime, width 
two-thirds of a line. 
So like is this in size and shape to the inflated vaveeey of 
Fischer de Waldheim’s Fusulina cylindrica occurring in such 
quantities in some parts of the Russian carboniferous limestone, 
that it might easily be mistaken for it; it is destitute however of 
the longitudinal external fissure-like opening and complex in- 
ternal structure of that genus, seeming more properly allied to 
certain moniliform, few-celled Nodosarie, such for instance as 
the N. rudis and N. rugosa of M. D’Orbigny’s work on the 
Austrian Foraminifera, with both of which species it agrees almost 
perfectly. The lodges or cells are almost always found separated 
(from the minuteness of the connecting neck), which gives them 
the striking resemblance to Fusuline above alluded to; I have 
heard however of several of them having been found united in a 
line by their little necks, and I have myself seen two thus united, 
and the posterior cell not being a terminal one. 
Occurs in great numbers on the weathered surfaces of the car- 
boniferous limestone in the parish of Shivey, Tyrone, m the 
north of Ireland.

Exclusive of the above species, the following is a list of such 
British corals of the carboniferous period as I have myself — 
_noted since the publication of Morris’s Catalogue of British. 
Fossils in addition to the species there given; it includes, 
Ist, some species described by foreign authors which I have 
recognized 1 in Britain; 2nd, a few Devonian species for which 
I give undoubted carboniferous localities ; and 3rd, those new 
forms which I have figured and described in the ¢ Synopsis of 
the Characters of the Carboniferous Limestone Fossils of Ire- 
land’ published some years ago, the result of an examination 
of the collections made in that country by Mr. Griffith of 
Dublin, with whose permission I now however, for the first 
time, publish the principal geological and geographical loca- 
lities, the omission of which in the work mentioned has often 
been regretted. All the localities except those in ¢éalics are in 
Ireland. All the species in é¢alics are in the Geological Museum 
of the University of Cambridge. The following abbreviations 
are used of the rocks : dr. L. Arenaceous Limestone, a peculiar 
band in the middle of the yellow sandstone at the base of the » 
carboniferous series ; Calp, a provincial term for a band of dark 
argillaceous limestone occurring between the great lower and 
upper limestones, accompanied in the north of Ireland by thick
