been even fewer than in England. Dr. Alf. Nehring,^ in his "Ueber- 

 sicht Uber 24 mitteleuropaische Quartiir-Faunen," mentions the 

 following : — From (1) " Westeregeln bei Magdeburg " (p. 474), Esox 

 Indus; (2) "DieRauberhohleamSchelmengraben zwischen Niirnberg 

 und Eegensburg" (p. 488), Silurus glanis, Esox luciiis, Cyprinus carpio ;. 

 (3) "Der Hohlefels im Achthal bei Ultn " (p. 490), Cyprinus carpio 

 (or Perca fluviatilis) ; (4) " Die Fuchslocher am Eothen Berge bei 

 Saalfeld" (p. 495), Esox litcius; (5) " Die Hohle von Balvein West- 

 falen" (p. 504), Esox Indus. The age of the specimens from the 

 first two localities is doubtful. 



Dr. A. Smith Woodward has kindly called my attention to 

 Professor F. Bassani's - record of Anguilla vulgaris, Cyprinus carpio, 

 and Leuciscus aula from beds at Pianico, Lombardy, which 

 Dr. Forsyth-Major assures me are of early Pleistocene age.

II. — On Belinurus kiltorkensis, Baily. 



By Professor Grenville A. J. Cole, M.E.I. A., F.G.S. 



N 1899 Messrs. Rupert Jones and Henrj' Woodward^ stated that 

 Belinurus "has not at present been found in rocks of earlier age 

 than the Coal-measures." Belinurus grandcevus, described in the same 

 paper, was referred, with probability, to the Lower Carboniferous. 

 A writer (" R. W. E.") in the Ottawa Naturalist^ for January, 

 1900, thereupon called attention to the record of Belinurus from the 

 Kiltorcan Beds of Ireland. This record is founded on Mr. W. H. 



1 Zeitscli. d. Deutsch. geol. GeselL, 1880, p. 468, where reference -will be found 

 to the original records.
