malcule. Not being able to find it described in any British author, 

 I sent it to Prof. Allnian of Trinity College, Dublin, who kindly 

 informed me it is the Holostomum cuticola of Nordmann, and is 

 described and figured in his ' Mikrographische Beitriige,' which work 

 has not been yet translated, and that he had not seen it before, and was 

 not aware that it had before been observed in Britain. Prof. Allman 

 very kindly sent me a neat sketch of the animal, a copy of which I 

 inclose.

On the Occurrence of Trigonellites in the Tipper Chalk at Norwich. 

 By T. G. Bayfield. 



Norwich, Aug. 11, 1851. 



Sir, — I have lately obtained from a chalk-pit, near this city, an 

 example of the problematic fossil called TingoneUites by Parkinson, 

 and Aptychus by Meyer. The specimen exhibits the inner surface 

 marked by lines of growth, as in the Oolitic species. In the same 

 pit have been found Ammonites peramplus, and another species, which 

 are usually rare in the Upper Chalk. This discovery is interesting, as 

 it proves the distribution of the Trigonellite to be co-extensive with 

 that of the Ammonite, of which it has been regarded as the operculum. 



Yours respectfully. 



To Br. Francis. T. G. Bayfield. 



LOCALITIES OF RARE BRITISH CRUSTACEA. 



To the Editors of the Annals of Natural History. 



Shantalla, Galway, August 18, 1851. 



Gentlemen, — Allow me to communicate the following locahties 

 in the county of Galway for some of the rarer British Crustacea : — 



AchcBus Cranchii ; in 5 fathoms. Bar of Killeany Bay, Great South 

 Island of Aran. 



Pagurus Hyndmani -A common at various depths — 6 to 40 fa- 



P. IcBvis ; J thoms. 



P. Forbesii ; one specimen in 20 fathoms, and a second in 35 fa- 

 thoms, outside of the Great Isle of Aran. 



Crangon fasciatus ; along with 



Achceus Cranchii. 



Crangon spinosus ; in 20 fathoms. South Sound of Aran. 



C. sculptus ; one specimen in 6 fathoms, oflP Deer Island, Galway 

 Bay, and two in 20 fathoms. South Sound of Aran. 



C. bispinosus 1 ; two specimens in 30 fathoms, limestone gravel 

 bottom, outside of the Great Isle of Aran. 



I have no doubt that these specimens are referable to C. bispinosus ; 

 but the learned author of the ' British Crustacea ' will decide the 

 point, as the specimens will shortly be in his possession. 



Nika edulis ; Bertraghboy Bay. 



I am. Sir, your obedient servant, 



Alexander G. Melville.
