I. — On a Collection of Trilobites from the Coddon' Hill 

 Beds, Lower Culm-bieasures, near Barnstaple, North Devon, 

 and one from glamorganshire. 



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



(PLATE XX.) 



HAVING some time since been favoured by Mr. and Mrs. 

 Coomaraswamy (Miss Ethel M. Partridge) and Mr. Joseph G. 

 Hamling, F.G.S., of Barnstaple, with the loan of their collections 

 of Culm Trilobites from Coombe Wood, etc., near Barnstaple, I feel 

 it incumbent to add a few notes to those already published by 

 me in the Appendix to Messrs. Hinde & Howard Fox's paper 

 (Quart. Journ. Geol. Soc, 1895, vol. li, pp. 616-649, pi. xxviii, 

 figs. 1-8). 



Out of the large series of specimens kindly sent to me, I have 

 selected and figured on Plate XX thirteen of the best preserved 

 examples from the Coombe Wood section ; whilst Figs. 14 and 16 

 illustrate a nearly entire Trilobite, obligingly lent to me by 

 Mr. Frederick Barke, F.G.S., of Stoke-on-Trent, and obtained by him 

 from beds of reputed Culm age at Bishopston, Glamorganshire.^ 



Phillipsia, sp. (PI. XX, Figs. 1, 2, and 13 (?).) 



Fig. 1 represents the glabella of a PJiillipsia, with the fixed cheek 

 attached, of the natural size. The glabella measures 16 millimetres
