In short all our graptolitic zones except the insignificant and 
probably local zone of Monograptus argenteus occur here. 
Before finally quitting the representatives of the Stockdale Shales, 
a word concerning the Nereites beds is necessary. These have been 
referred to the Diewenhany, and possibly forms like Nereites occur in 
the Devonian beds, but the specimens which Herr Glass collected 
at Bad Steben are so exactly like the Gala ones, both with reference 
to the lithological character of the containing rock, and the nature 
of the fossils, that I cannot help believing that they are of that age. 
The Wenlock shales with Cyrtograptus Murchisoni are represented 
in Herr Glass’s collection by specimens from Hinzelnhofen, with 
Monograptus vomerinus, Cyrtograptus, sp., Cyrto.? spiralis, and in 
the Dresden Museum by a specimen from Linda with Monograptus 
priodon, M. vomerinus, Cyrtograptus, sp., C.? spiralis, Retiolites 
Geinitzianus. 
Above these shales lies the Ockerkalk with Cardiola interrupta, 
etc., and like the Cardiola beds of Sweden and the Lower Coldwell 
beds of Westmorland separating the Cyrtograptus beds from the beds 
with Monograptus colonus. 
The latter are found at Gunzenberg near Plauen with Monograptus 
Remeri, and at Grafenwarth near Schleiz with Monograptus colonus 
and M bohemicus. 
Lastly, the Tentaculiten-knollenkalk with Pterniea subfalcata, 
P. retroflexa, etc., appears to represent the Upper Ludlow beds of 
Britain, and the limestone of H. 2 in Bohemia. 
Beds of higher age, such as the Styliola beds and Goniatite lime- 
stones are probably comparable with higher stages of the Bohemian 
basin, which they altogether resemble, thus yielding additional 
evidence of the accuracy of Prof. Kayser’s view as to the age of 
stages FT, G, and H. As I understand that Herr Frech has visited 
the Hof district in order to examine these Devonian rocks, further 
discussion is rendered unnecessary. 
The result of the cursory examination of the area has been to 
show that the difference hetween the Bohemian and Bavarian beds 
is by no means great, where beds of the same age can be compared, 
and that even our British deposits are in many cases represented by 
many similar strata in Bavaria, and the Thiiringerwald; that this 
is specially the case with the graptolite-bearing shales and adds one 
more instance to those which have been adduced to prove the value 
of these forms in marking stratigraphical horizons.

By Professor Grorcre H. Stonz. 
T the Meeting of the British Association in 1886, a facetted and 
striated pebble from the Salt Range, Punjab, was exhibited 
and described, by A. B. Wynne, F.G.S. Another and larger one 
was presented by Dr. W. T. Blanford, F.R.8."
