Alerter giving an account of the Brachiopods which he has met with 



on these coasts, and concluding that they are in the main inhabitants 



of shallow water, so far as the fossil forms are concerned. H. A. N.

2 woodcuts (restorations). 



In previous papers the author has described 12 species of fossil 



Medusae. He now describes two new genera and species as Ilexarliizites 



insignis and Semceostomites Zittelii. Both belong to the group DiscopJiora — 



the former to the Bliizostomata^ and the latter to the JSemcsostomata. 



The fossils were obtained from the lithographic slate of Pappenheim in 



Bavaria. P. W. E.
