SCORPIONID^. 



Eoscorpius Sparthensis, Baldwin & Sutcliffe, Quart. Journ. Geol. Soc, 

 1904, vol. Ix, pp. 394-399, figs. 2 and 3 in text. 



The type of this species was found by Messrs. Baldwin and 

 Sutcliffe at Sparth Bottoms, Rochdale, at 135 feet above the Eoyley 

 or Arley mine of the Middle Coal-measures. (It is now in the 

 Eochdale Museum.) 



Myriopoda. 



Euphoberia Browni, H. Woodw.,^ Geol. Mag., 1871, Vol. VIII, 



pp. 102-104, PI. Ill, Fig. 6. 



Found in shale in which the fossil tree trunks occur at Dixon Fold 

 on the Lancashire and Yorkshire Eailway. The horizon is, I believe, 

 that of the shales lying over the Doe mine in the Middle Coal-measures. 

 Euphoberia ferox, Salter,^ sp., 1863. 



Eemains of this species were found in association with Arthro- 

 pleura mammata at the pit top of Pendleton colliery, the horizon 

 being the ' ferny metal ' under the ' Big Coal ' or Earns mine of the 

 Middle Coal-measures. It has also been found by Messrs. Sutcliffe 

 and Baldwin at Sparth Bottoms, 45 yards above the Eoyley mine. 

 Xylobms sigillarice, J. W. Dawson,^ 1860, Quart. Journ. Geol. Soc, 

 vol. xvi, pp. 268-277. 



A specimen (species undeterminable) is in the Manchester 

 Museum, having been obtained from the waste-heaps of the Ashton 

 Moss colliery by Mr. Eobert Cairns. 



Insecta are represented by an imperfect specimen of a Neuropterous 

 insect from 47 yards above the Eoyley or Arley mine at Sparth 

 Bottoms, Eochdale, and a doubtful larval form of Etoblatlina from 

 about 60 yards over the Eoyley or Arley mine at the same place. 

 Both specimens were found by Messrs. Baldwin and Sutcliffe. 



II. — Notes on some Crustaceans and two Myriopods from the 

 Lower Coal-measures near Colne, Lancashire. 



By Henry Woodward, LL.D., F.R.S., F.G.S. 



BY the courtesy of my friend Mr. Herbert Bolton, the Curator 

 and Secretary of the Bristol Museum, several specimens have 

 been placed in my liands for examination. They were collected by 

 Mr. Peter Whalley from the ' Soapstone bed,' a little distance above 



1 The tj-pe-specimeu was obtained by the late Mr. Thomas Brown, of Glasgow, in 

 a clay-ironstone nodule from the Coal-measures of Kilmaurs. 



2 Described as a JSicri/pterus by Salter, Quart. Joui-n. Geol. Soc, 1863, vol. xix, 

 p. 86, really a spined Myriopod; see H. Woodward, "Myriopods of the Coal 

 Period," Geol. Mag., 1887, pp. 1-10 and 116-117 (figs, in text). 



3 A Chilognathous MjTiopod from the hollow trunk of an erect Sigillaria, in the 

 South Joggins Coalfield, Nova Scotia. This genus was first found in Scotland by 

 Mr. Thomas Brown in the Coal-measures of Kilmaurs, and described by Dr. H. 

 Woodward in Trans. Geol. Soc. Glasgow, 1866, toI. ii, p. 234, pi. iii, fig. 11. 

 A second specimen from the clay-ironstone band. Cooper's Bridge, was obtained by. 

 Mr. Joseph Tindall, of Huddersfield, and figm-ed on the same plate (op. cit.), figs. 13 

 and 13ffl. Noticed by Mr. Edward Binney, F.E.S., Trans. Lit. and Phil. Soc.
