He then proceeded to give a brief summary of Some Points in the 

 History of the Crustacea in Early Falceozoic Times. Eeferring largely 

 to the papers and Memoirs published during the past thirty years, 

 and more especially to those in the Society's Quarterly Journal, he 

 described the researches of Salter, Hicks, Woodward, Lapworth, 

 Linuarsson, Holm, Brogger, Schmidt, Peach and Home, and of 

 C. D. Walcott. 



Referring to the search for the limbs in Trilobites, he mentioned 

 the discoveries of Billings, Mickleborough, Matthews, Yaillant, 

 C. E. Beecher, and C. D. Walcott, of H. M. Bernard, and others. 

 Under the Phyllopoda and Ostracoda he referred to the researches of 

 Packard, Salter, Rupert Jones, Woodward, M'Coy, Barrande, and 

 Clai'ke, dwelling specially on the recent genus Nebalia. He alluded 

 also to the lifelong labours of Prof. Rupert Jones on the Ostracoda. 

 He hoped next year to complete the newer Palaeozoic and the 

 Secondary and Tertiary Crustacea. 



This portion of the address was illustrated by diagrams of various 

 forms of Palaeozoic Crustacea.

IL — February 20th, 1895. — Dr. Henry Woodward, F.R.S., 

 President, in the Chair. The following communications were read : — 



1. " Contributions to the Palaeontology and Physical Geology of 

 the West Indies." By J. W. Gregory, D.Sc, F.G.S. 



The earlier part of the paper is largely concerned with the corals 

 of the raised reefs of Barbados, and, on account of the confusion in 

 the synonymy of the West Indian corals, the synonymy of the 

 species is given in some detail. A list of the mollusca of the 

 Low-level Reefs follows. 



The occurrence of the " Oceanic Series " of beds over wider areas 

 than generally recognized is proved by the existence of Radiolarian 

 Marls in Cuba, as announced in the discussion on Messrs. Jukes- 

 Browne and Harrison's paper (Q.J.G.S. vol. xlviii. 1892). The 

 author gives a list of species of Radiolaria from the Cuban deposit, 

 all of which are also found in that of Barbados. Additions to the 

 fossil fauna of Antigua are recorded.
