the Range having been laid down unconformably on the denuded 
surface of the Lower Old Red and Upper Silurian rocks: also that 
oscillations of level took place during the Permian and Triassic 
periods, as shown by the unconformities between the several members 
of these groups ; and that the last great catastrophe, which brought 
down the Trias on the Hastern side of the Range, was posterior in 
date to the Lias. 
REPORTS AND PROCEEDINGS.

GEOLOGICAL Society or Lonpon.—June 7, 1865; W. J. Hamil- 
ton, Esq., President, in the chair. The following communications 
were read :— 
1. ‘Note on Ovibos moschatus, Blainville.” By M. E. Lartét, For. 
Mem.G.8. Translated by the late H. Christy, Esq., F.R.S., F.G.S.— 
A hoof-phalange found by Mr. Christy and the author in the Gorge 
d’Enfer was stated to be identical in form and dimensions with the 
corresponding bone of the existing Ovibos moschatus, to which species 
M. Lartét therefore referred it. With it were found remains of 
Ursus speleus, Felis spelea, Wolf, Reindeer, and Aurochs, as well as 
worked flints differing from those found in any other of the Dor- 
dogne caves. ‘The author remarked that the Gorge d’Enfer is the 
most southern locality at which remains of Ovibos moschatus have 
yet been found, and is 15° south of its most southern limit at the 
present day; but the Reindeer has been found by Mr. Christy and 
himself farther south still—on the northern slope of the Pyrenees. 
2. ‘On some Additional Fossils from the Lingula-flags.’ By J. W. 
Salter, Esq., F.G.S. With a Note on the Genus Anopolenus; by 
Henry Hicks, Esq., M.R.C.S.—In a recent paper Mr. Salter described 
the new genus Anopolenus as a blind Trilobite allied to Paradoxides, 
without facial sutures or head-spines, and with truncate body-seg- 
ments not produced into spinous appendages, as in most of its con- 
geners. ‘The remains of a new species, provided with extraordinary 
free cheeks, have proved that this conclusion was founded upon a 
part only of the head and of the body of the animal, which now 
appears to be more truly intermediate between Paradoxides and 
Clenus than was before supposed, while at the same time it presents 
characters opposed to those of either genus. Mr. Hicks gave a full 
description of the genus as now known, and of the new species, 
which he called Anopolenus Salteri. From his description, it ap- 
pears that Anopolenus possessed minute eyes, a facial suture, and 
expanded pleura, but that their arrangement was abnormal. In con- 
clusion, Mr. Salter compared the two species of Anopolenus now 
known, stating that the one first described, without the more anterior 
of the two segments which compose the head, was to all appearance 
a perfect Trilobite. He also gave a figure of a new species of Olenus 
— O. pecten. 
3. ‘On the Discovery of a New Genus of Cirripedia in the 
“Wenlock Shale of Dudley.”’ By Henry Woodward, Esq., F.G.S. 
—The attention of the author having been called to two species of
