 und deren Yersteinerungen. Erste Abtheilung. [Palaeozoic 

 formations of Podolia and their fossils.] Abh. k.-k. geol, Keichs. 

 Band vii. Heft 1, pp. 77, 5 plates. 



The first 32 pages are geological (see p. 45) ; the rest consists of de- 

 scriptions and figures of the crustaceans and fishes. The remains of 

 fishes are found partly in the Ludlow Beds and partly in the overlying 

 Devonians, and are referable to M'Coy's Placodermi and to the Cepha- 

 laspidaB. The following new species are figured and described — Pter- 

 aspis podolicus (Ludlow), P. major (Ludlow and Devonian), P. angiistatus 

 (Ludlow), CyatTiaspis Sturi (Ludlow), Scaphaspis radiatus (Ludlow), 

 S. Haueri (Devonian), S. elongatus (Devonian), and S. ohovatics 

 (Ludlow). 



The crustaceans are referable to the Eurypterida, Trilobita, and 

 Ostracoda ; and the following new species are described — Proetus podo- 

 licus, P. Dzieduszychianus, Cyphaspis rugulosus, Beyrichia podolica, B, 

 Beussif B. Bilczensis, B. inomata, Primitia rectangularis, and Leperditia 

 Bomeri. H. A. N.

The author figures the original example of PalcBcMnus gigas, from the 

 Lower Carboniferous Limestone-shale of Raheen, Donegal, and shows 

 that the structure of this species had been somewhat misconceived by 

 Prof. M'Coy. The author also describes and figures a new species of 

 Archceocidarts, the only example in which the parts retain their original 

 form and connexion. This species (A. Harteiand) shows the apical 

 disk, ambulacral areas, and interambulacral areas — the latter composed 

 of five rows of plates, each alternate plate having a large perforated 

 tubercle, and having the rest of its surface covered by smaller tubercles 

 or granulations. The specimen was obtained from the Lower Carboni- 

 ferous Grit of Lough Eske, near Donegal. E. T. H.
