account of a Stony Meteorite (p. 2) which fell at Gambat in Sind, 

 September 15th, 1897. Dr. A. von Kraaft reports on the Spiti 

 fossils (pp. 11-22), collected by Mr. H. H. Hayden, whose 

 report on the geology of Spiti is given at pp. 4.6-50. Economic 

 inquiries by the Surveyors, beginning with the distribution of 

 mica and the local systems of mining, were made under the 

 superintendence of Mr. T. H. Holland, whose much extended issue 

 of the late Professor Val. Ball's account of Indian Corundum, Euby, 

 and Sapphire, from Part iii of the " Manual of the Geology 

 of India," 1881, was published in 1898. A preliminary report is 

 given at pp. 28-33. Mr. La Touche's discovery of a coal area in 

 Bikanir is reported (pp. 33-35) as being likely to prove very 

 valuable. Another landslip at Naini Tal is reported at p. 35. 

 Geological Surveys have been carried on in the Central Provinces, 

 Central India, Western Eajputana, Himalayas, and Baluchistan, with, 

 good results, often of much interest. A list of additions to the 

 Library is appended as usual. T. E. J. 



V. — The Paljeontographioal Sooiktt of London : Annual 



Volume (LIII) foe 1899. Issued December, 1899. 

 rpHE volume issued by the Society for the year 1899 contains 

 L portions of four monographs ; two of these are devoted to the 

 bivalved Mollusca, which, by the way, in one monograph are called 

 Lamellibranchia and in the other Laraellibranchiata. 

 1. A Monograph of the British Paleozoic Phyllopoda (Phyllocarida), 

 Packard. By Professor T. Eupert Jones, F.E.S., F.G.S., etc.. 

 and Dr. Henry Woodward, F.E.S., F.G.S., etc. Part IV 

 (Conclusion) : General Title-page ; pp. i-xv, 175, 176 (re- 

 printed), 177-211 ; pis. xxvi-xxxi. 

 This forms the concluding portion of this Monograph, the preceding 

 parts of which appeared in the volumes of the Paleeontographical 

 Society for the years 1887, 1892, and 1898. The study of the 

 genus Dithyrocaris, which was commenced in part iii, is continued 

 and concluded. Two new species, D. Dunnii and D. Neilsoni, are 

 described from tail-pieces ; the former upon specimens found by 

 Mr. John Dunn in the Eedesdale Shales, Northumberland, the latter 

 upon examples in Mr. Neilson's collection from East Kilbride. 

 A new genus, Chcenocaris, is proposed to include McCoy's Dithyro- 

 caris tenuistriatus from the Carboniferous Limestone of Little Island, 

 Cork, and a new species {C. Youngii) founded upon a specimen from 

 the Upper Limestone group of the Lower Carboniferous series at 

 Eobroyston, Lanarkshire. For the unique specimen in the Museum 

 of the Geological Survey of Scotland that was collected from 

 a "'greenish-grey' (now reddish), flaggy, calcareous shale of the 

 Lower Eed Sandstone series at the Carmichael Burn, near the 

 Manse, four and a half miles south-east of Lanark," and previously 

 described as Dithyrocaris striatus, the new genus Calyptocaria is 

 proposed, and into it is placed, somewhat doubtfully, a new species 

 (C ? Bichteriana) founded upon a single specimen from the "(3ypri- 

 dinen-Scbiefer " (Entomis-shales), at Saalfeld, Sachsen-Meiningen.
