The Vancouver coal-bearing series is referred to the Chico group of 



American geologists, probably synchronous with the U. Cretaceous of 



Europe. The following new species are described and figured —

No fresh species oiPteropoda is recorded ; but 34 oi LamellihrancMata 

 are added to the British list. A great deal of new information is also 

 given with regard to a number of Bivalves described in the original 

 Monograph. No absolutely new species are described. 5 species of 

 Brachiopods are noticed, one, Discina fallens, being new. In an ap- 

 pendix the author gives additional information as to the Crag Gastero- 

 pods, and describes as new Pleurotoma tereoides, Odostoma dentiplicata 

 and Clausilia Pliocena. Two new Bivalves, Avicula phalcenoides and 

 Scacchia lata, are at the same time described. Concludes with a chap- 

 ter on the general characters of the MoUuscan fauna of the Crags, and 

 a Synoptical list of the marine moUusca from the U. Tertiaries of the
