364 Reports and Proceedings. 
except in one particular bed near the entrance of the ravine above 
the village of Khoonmoo; but the lowest portion, or Zéwan bed, is 
made up chiefly of the remains of Brachiopoda and Bryozoa; and a 
higher stage, though still near the base of the formation, contains 
abundant remains of Producta. The position of a limestone con- 
taining Goniatites is not very clearly determined, but it is probably 
a member of the Zewan series. ‘ 
The sections in which the relative positions of the different beds 
were exhibited were described in detail, and plans and a map were 
given showing their geographical relation. 
Mr. Davidson described the Brachiopoda forwarded with the 
paper, stating that they abound particularly at Barus and Khoon- 
moo, but are rarely in a very good state of preservation. Among 
them are several common and wide-spread European and American 
species, with a few that have not hitherto been noticed. They 
appear to be of Lower Carboniferous age. 
In the introduction, Mr. Godwin-Austen gave a synopsis of the 
more remarkable facts brought forward in the paper, and in a ré- 
sumé he gave lists of the fossils which had as yet been determined. 
These were forty-seven in number, forty-two of which had specific 
names, and twenty-two of which are well-known forms; eight are 
common to the Punjaub and Kashmere, seven of them being also 
European species. Of the Kashmere list, full half the species are 
found in British Carboniferous beds ; and Mr. Godwin-Austen re- 
marked on the support given to the notion of the approximate 
contemporaneity of distant formations containing the same fossils by 
the occurrence of these European Lower Carboniferous species near 
the base of the Carboniferous formation of Kashmere. 
2. ‘On the Mammalian Remains found by E. Wood, Esq., near 
Richmond, Yorkshire. By W. Boyd Dawkins, Esq., B.A, F.G.S. 
With an Introductory Note on the Deposit in which they were 
found, by E. Wood, Esq., F.G.S., and G. E. Roberts, Esq., F.G.S.— 
These mammalian remains were discovered last autumn on a terrace 
of blue clay, mixed with limestone débris, about 130 feet above the 
north bank of the River Swale, during excavations for a new sewer. 
The deposit was stated by Mr. Dawkins to be a heap of kitchen 
refuse, and the great majority of the bones, except the solid and 
marrowless, are consequently broken, while not one of the numerous 
skulls is perfect. The collection contained bones of the following 
species :— Ursus Arctos, Canis familiaris, Sus Scrofa, Equus, Cervus 
Elaphus, Cervus Dama, Bos longifrons, Bos brachyceros, Ovis Aries, 
Capra Aigagrus, and the horn-cores of a third form of Goat, which 
appeared to be the Aigoceras caucasica, which had also been found 
by Mr. Dawkins and Mr. Sanford in a bone-cavern explored by 
them in 1863. In a note to Mr. Dawkins, M. Lartét expressed his 
opinion that these horn-cores belonged to some of the diversified 
forms that are the result of hybridity, and stated that they resembled 
some found in a bone-cave in the Pyrenees, which appeared to,belong 
to a hybrid between the Goat and the Bouquetin,
