the Ehynchosaurinse did. Not only was the Lacertilian type of 

 organization clearly defined in the Triassic epoch, but it attained a 

 degree of specialization equal to that exhibited by any modern lizard. 



2. " On Tertiary Cyclostomatous Bryozoa from New Zealand." 

 By Arthur W. Waters, Esq., F.G.S. 



The Cyclostomata noticed in this paper were from the same col- 

 lections as the Chilostomata described in the last volume of the Quar- 

 terly Journal, and this part was kept back a short time, in the hope 

 that the publication of the Report of the ' Challenger ' expedition 

 might throw some light upon this unsatisfactory suborder ; but the 

 results are very disappointing in this respect, as only thirty-three 

 species are recorded, and these are for the most part well known and 

 common ones. 



It was proposed to subdivide the Cyclostomata into two sections, 

 namely : — 1, those in which the surface of the zoarium is to a con- 

 siderable extent formed of the lateral walls of the zocecia, as Entalo- 

 pliora &c. ; and 2, those iu which the zocecia or cancelli open 

 for the most part at right angles to the axis, or surface of the 

 zoarium, or subcolony, of which Heteropora and LicJienopora are 

 typical. 



The Author recorded the preservation of the extremely delicate and 

 fragile rays or " hair-like teeth " in the interior of the fossil En- 

 talopliora intricaria. 



Out of the twenty-eight species or varieties eighteen are known 

 living, and this part of the collection agrees with the former in indi- 

 cating that it is comparatively recent. The number of these fossil 

 Bryozoa is now brought up to 106. The new species described 

 bj^ the Author were : — Entalophora ivangamdensis, Tubulipora tubi- 

 pora, Liclienopora wanganuiensis, Reptocavea aspera, Heteropora 

 napierensis, and Crassohornera waipukurensis ; and he also noted a 

 new variety, perangusta, of Diastopora sarniensis.

 Nottingham." By E. T. Newton, Esq., F.G.S. ; with Notes on 

 their Mode of Occurrence by the Eev. P. B. Brodie, M.A., E G S 

 and E. Wilson, Esq., E.G.S. 



This paper gave an account of two series of fossil fishes which 

 have been discovered in British Triassic strata. The specimens are 

 very fragmentary, but the rarity of Ganoid fish-remains in the 

 English Trias lends considerable interest to these discoveries. The 

 first series noticed were obtained by the Eev. P. B. Brodie in the 

 Upper Keuper of Shrewley, and consist of some half-dozen portions 

 of fish, all small and much broken. The characters of the scales and
