with the specific appellation of Browniana, after Mr. D. J. Brown of Edinburgh, 

 who first drew attention to it. 



Mr. Henry Woodward exhibited a new chart of Fossil Crustacea, showing the

range in time of the several orders, with some recent types. [Designed and drawn 

 by J. W. Salter, F.G.S., and Henry Woodward, F.G.S. Engraved 



Lowry, F.R.G.S.] 



This is the first palseozoological chart in which an attempt has been made to 

 show, not only the separate geological formations, but the zoological divisions of 

 the class. Each order is placed in a separate area, and the student can see at a 

 glance when a group commenced, and where it ended, or if it be still existing. 



A descriptive catalogue accompanies the chart, in which each order is Tniefly 

 described, and the name, reference, locality, and formation given of every species 

 figured. 



On a Deposit near Lilleshall, Salop, containing recent Marine Shells. 

 By C. J. Woodward. 



The deposit occurs in Fox -hill Field, New Lodge Farm, near Lilleshall. Fox- 

 hill Field is a mound about 30 feet high, sloping equally on all sides. The whole 

 of the mound is composed of moderately fine gravel, and on' the north side are 

 beds containing comminuted sea-sliells, with a few specimens nearly entire. Lias 

 fossils, much water-worn, granite pebbles, and subangular fragments of sand- 

 stone, curiously pitted on their surface, occur with the shells. 



The following species have been found : — 



Univalves. 

 Aporrhais pes-pelecani. 

 Buccinum undatum. 

 Dentalium ab3*ssorum. 

 Fusus antiquus. 

 Nassa reticulata. 

 Natica clausa. 

 Purpura lapillus. 

 Scalaria communis. 

 Turritella communis. 

 Trophon Banfferis. 



Bivalves. 

 Astarte borealis. 

 Cardium echinatum. 

 Cardium edule. 

 Cyprina Islandica. 

 Lutraria elliptica. 

 Mactra solida. 

 Mytilus edulis. 

 Pecten opercularis. 

 Pholas crispata. 

 Psammobia Feroensis. 

 Tellina (solidula) Balthica. 



Cirrhopoda. 

 Balanus sulcatus (Scoticus). 



The top of the mound is 463 feet above mean sea-level.

BOTANY. 



On the Deodar Forests of the Himalaya. By Dr. Clegdtorn. 

 This communication consisted of a report upon the Deodar forests of the Western 

 Himalaya, which he explored in 1862 and 1863, with a view of obtaining reliable 

 information regarding the timber resources of the Punjab. The reports of Royle, 

 Wallich, and other observers are most valuable as to the Eastern Himalaya, but 

 there were no approximate data on record as to the area of inter-montane forest 

 between the Jumna and Indus. A sketch map was exhibited, indicating the position 

 and extent of the Deodar tracts, so far' as ascertained between these rivers. He 

 dwelt upon the applicability of the wood of the Cedrus deodara for railway purposes 

 in the dry climate of the Punjab, where it has been found to be very valuable. A
