W. Baldwin — Fossil Myriopods from the Coal-measures. 75 



of greyish-blue shale, containing clay-ironstone nodules, crop out ; 

 the nodules have yielded to the hammer a surprisingly large number 

 of new forms of Arthropoda, some of which have already been figured 

 and described, and others still require further investigation. The 

 beds exposed in the quarry are estimated by the author as 135 to 

 180 feet above the Royley Mine Coal Seam. 



The following is a list of the Arthropoda which have been obtained 

 from these beds: —

By the courtesy of my friend Mr. "W. A. Parker, F.G.S., of Kochdale, 

 several specimens of Myriopods have been placed in my hands for 

 examination. They were all obtained from the beds at Sparth Bottoms, 

 and the gentlemen who discovered them have kindly permitted me to 

 figure and describe them. The specimens were all enclosed in clay- 

 ironstone nodules, and were exposed by splitting the concretions open 

 along their periphery.
