A. Champernowne—U. Devonian in Devonshire. 361 
fact is known to me from having seen Mr. Lee’s series lately brought 
from Oberscheld. 
There is no doubt whatever that Prof. Romer’ has identified a very 
interesting horizon in England, with one lithologically and palzeonto- 
logically the same in Germany. Still, I should hesitate before 
accepting the foregone conclusion that there are no Clymenia present 
—especially not having seen Mr. Reid’s specimens, C. valida and 
C. striata, as specifically determined by Mr. Etheridge,—for the 
following reasons, namely, the Labrador Bay pebbles out of Trias 
near Teignmouth contain undoubted Clymenie as well as Goniatites ; 
one specimen cut quite true in the axial plane shows an uninterrupted 
ventral siphuncle to the innermost whorl. Another Labrador pebble 
contains two individuals of Cardiola retrostriata. The matrix of 
these is an indurated red calcareous clay, not differing materially 
from the Lower Dunscombe top beds. 
Again, the Clymenien-Kalk of Silesia is, in colour and ‘ shelvy’ 
fracture, identical both with the Oberscheld and Lower Dunscombe 
beds, and I would suggest that, unless some clear, continuous section 
is known which exhibits the Clymenia stage well above the Gon. 
intumescens stage, the distribution of these genera may be rather of 
a colonial nature, than of succession in time, i.e. stratigraphical. 
The thickness of the group may of course vary considerably in 
different areas.” 
Having begun by criticizing Mr. Reid’s paleontological remarks, 
I hasten to observe with what pleasure I have verified over the 
ground the fault which he described as throwing down the Culm- 
measures on the west of the Chudleigh limestone and subjacent 
slates. The picturesque ‘Chudleigh rock’ is cut off at its $.W. end 
by a N.W. and §.E. fault, which steps Mr. Reid’s fault forward in 
the same direction to a little beyond Lewell House, whence it (the 
strike fault) runs in a south-westerly direction under the ‘ Bovey Lake,’ 
and reappears on the opposite side directly in line, as the well-known 
fault which throws the Culm-measures against the Bickington lime- 
stone and associated rocks (see Phillips, Pal. Foss., and Dr. Holl, 
Q.J.G.S. 1868). From Lemonford its course towards the granite at 
Skeriton has been described by Dr. Holl, as well as some of the 
transverse faults that shift it, and I believe it has a more important 
bearing upon the structure of 8. Devon than has yet been recognized, 
The §.E. fault above mentioned runs to Oldchard Well, bringing the 
Culm-measures against the Ugbrook House limestone, the junction 
of the two series beyond the ponds being marked by a line of swamp. 
It is necessary to stop here and not drift further from the original 
question, but we hope to resume on a future occasion, and discuss 
the unfaulted relations of the Culm-measures to the Devonian lime- 
stones on a wider basis, and to this vital question most of the above

2 Since this has been in the printer’s hands, I have seen a beautiful polished section 
of Gon. multilobatus, Sandb. (see Prof. Rémer, /.c.), from Labrador Bay, in the 
collection of Mr. Vicary, F.G.S., of Exeter. Kither there were two sources whence the 
pebbles with Cephalopoda were derived, or, as hinted in the text, the two faunas are 
less defined upon separate horizons than they have hitherto been supposed to be,
