The Moffat Shale (L. Silurian^ is probably the oldest formation of 

 the South of Scotland, and consists of about 600 feet of shales and 

 mudstones abounding in Graptolites, especially of the family Dlprionidce. 

 The specimens of Climacograptus preserved in relief show that Prof. 

 Nicholson's view of the duplicate nature of the polypary is substantially 

 correct. A polypary with the external features of Prof. Hall's Clima- 

 cograptus has the internal structure of Diplograptus. The paper con- 

 cludes with a classification of the family Dlprionidoe. W. W.

The species are Fusus suhscalariniis, U. Laekenian, AYemmel, and 



Tellina rostralis, found in the Niimmulites-variolaria zone at Forest, 



near Brussels, L. Laekenian. G. A. L.

This shell is found in Belgium in the Upper Ypresian Sands and in 



the Laekenian, but is not known in the intervening Bruxellian system. 



The anomaly noticed consists in a kind of squamous extension of the 



outer lips of the valves of the shell. G. A. L.
