 The concluding part of the monograph. The species which are ap- 

 parently new are : — Cidaris Heva, L.' Cenomanian ; Cidaris, sp. /, 

 M. Senonian ; Cidaris Pennetieri, M. Senonian ; Cidaris suhjpyri- 

 formis, M. Senonian, and Magnosia Sequana, L. Cenomanian. All 

 the 42 species mentioned are fully described, and their localities and 

 beds given. G. A. L. 



BuTLEK, A. G. Notes on the Impression of Palceontina Oolitiea in 



the Jermyn-Street Museum. Geol. Mag. dec. 2, vol. i. pp. 446- 



449, pi. xix. 



Mr. Scudder having disputed the Lepidopterous character of the 



wing from the Stonesfield Slate (Geol. Mag. vol. x. p. 2), and having 



referred it to the Homoptera, the author defends his position, and 



gives reasons for believing that the opinion of Mr. Scudder cannot be 



sustained, and that Palaeontina Oolitiea is a genuine Lepidopteron.

Cahpentee, Dr. "William B. Remarks on Mr. H. J. Carter's Letter 

 to Prof. King on the structure of the so-called Eozoon Canadense. 

 Ann. Nat. Hist, ser 4, vol. xiii. pp. 277-284, figs. 1, 2. 

 Maintains the organic nature of Eozoon Canadense, and recapitulates 

 the evidence in favour of the view that it is Foraminiferous. Concludes 

 by remarking that whilst the Foraminiferal nature of Eozoon can per- 

 haps not be proved in a demonstrative sense, " the convergence of a 

 number of separate and independent probabilities, all accordant with 

 that hypothesis, while a separate explanation must be invented for 

 each of them on any other hypothesis, gives it that high probability on 

 which we rest in the ordinary affairs of life, in the verdicts of juries, 

 and in the interpretation of geological phenomena generally."

 Replies to the objections urged by Professors King and Rowney, and 

 Mr. Carter, against the organic nature of Eozoon and its reference to the 

 Foraminifera. In particular the objection that the supposed " num- 

 muline tubuli " of Eozoon frequently lie parallel with the chamber- 

 walls instead of being perpendicular to them, and that these structures 

 can thus not be Poraminiferous, is shown to be baseless by an appeal 

 to the structure of the test of NummuUna. Concludes with a summary 

 of the general evidence in favour of the organic nature of Eozoon, and 

 of its being referable to the Foraminifera. H. A. N,
