528 Miscellaneous. 



His more important contributions to scientific literature were : — 

 On the oldest-known fossil tree (Glyptodendron Eatonense), from 

 the Upper Silurian of Eaton (Geol. Mag., 1878) ; papers on the 

 Migration of Animals and Plants between Europe and America, 

 published in 1880 and 1881 ; on the discovery of Pteraspidian 

 Fish in the Upper Silurian of North America (Quart. Journ. 

 Geol. Soc, vol. xli, 1885) ; The Lake Age in Ohio (8vo, 1888) ; on 

 the Head of DinichtJiys (Amer. Geol., 1892) ; and on the Cl^dodont 

 Sharks of the Cleveland Shale (Amer. Geol., 1893). He was also 

 one of the Editors of and largely contributed to the American Geologist 

 from its foundation in 1888. 



Professor Claypole was elected a Fellow of the Geological Society 

 of London in 1879, of that in Edinburgh in 1887, and was one of 

 the original members of the American Geological Society when it 

 was founded in 1888.

Brachylepas oretacea. — Since the publication of my paper 

 (Geol. Mag., n.s., Dec. IV, Vol. VIH, April, 1901, p. 145) on the 

 interesting find of this new form of Cirriped from the mucronata- 

 zone of the White Chalk of Norwich, I have received from Dr. A. W. 

 Eowe, the finder, a second specimen. This latter comes from the 

 mucronata-zone, Whitway pit, South Dorset, and gives the fossil 

 an interesting geographical range. At present Brachylepas oretacea 

 has not yet been found outside the mucronata-zone, and it is possible 

 that Dr. Eowe has discovered yet another fossil of considerable 

 zonal value. — H. W. 



Geological Survey of Great Britain and Ireland. — The 

 following geologists have been appointed to fill vacancies in the 

 Staff of the Geological Survey, caused by the retirement of Sir A. 

 Geikie, Mr. E. G. Symes, Mr. J. Nolan, Mr. A. C. G. Cameron, and 

 Mr. A. J. Jukes-Browne, and by the deaths of Mr. F. W. Egan and 

 Mr. J. H. Blake : Dr. J. S. Flett, M.A., M.B., to take charge of 

 Petrographical work; Mr. J. Allen Howe, B.Sc, and Mr. H. H. 

 Thomas, B.A., on the English Staff; Mr. H. B. Mufi", B.A., on the 

 Scottish Staff; and Mr. W. B. Wright, B.A., on the Irish Staff. 



A SIXTH edition of Mr. Whitaker's handy little " Guide to the 

 Geology of London" has just been issued by the Geological Survey. 

 It has been thoroughly revised by the author and many illustrations 

 have been added, including figures of Palaeolithic implements and 

 a few characteristic fossils. The first edition, published in 1875, 

 comprised 72 pages ; the present edition reaches 102 pages. The 

 price remains Is. 



Erratum. — In the September part of the Geological Magazine, 1901 (p. 408), 

 the name Bradytherium was employed for a genus of large Ungulates from the 

 Eocene of Egj'pt. This name seems to have been employed some months earlier by 

 G. Grandidier for a large extinct Edentate from Madagascar, and the designation of 

 the Egyptian genus is therefore amended to ^ari/iJ/tej-Mww (see "Natui-e," October 1 0th, 

 1901, p. 577).— C. W. Andrews.
