72 J. Smith — C^. Silurian Entomostraca. 



Polj'zoa and a large number of Spirorhes were found in this lot. 

 Several small rugose Corals also were got. 

 Five or six species of Entomostraca. 



10. Gleedon Hill. — Fine yellowish shale, in a quarry by side of 

 the railway, between Buildvvas and Much-Wenlock. Small Brachio- 

 pods and Crinoids frequent ; Polyzoa rare. 



One species of Entomostraca. 



11. Eailway-cutting near Much-Wenlock. — This section is 

 about a mile N.E. from Much-Wenlock Station. Fine yellowisli 

 slaale. Small Brachiopods are common in this shale. A few 

 Spirorhes and some fragments of Polyzoa turned up. 



Five species of Entomostraca. 



12. Eskam-Engham. — This locality is about two miles west from 

 Newent. Fine yellowish shale in an old quarr3^ Contains frequent 

 Brachiopods, Polyzoa, and Crinoid remains. 



One species of Entomostraca. 



13. WooLHOPE. — Small quarry on the Ledbury Eoad, about one 

 mile from Woolhope Inn. Fine bluish shale. Small Brachiopods 

 common; Crinoids frequent. A large number of beautiful frag- 

 ments of Polyzoa were met with in this gathering. 



Ten or eleven species of Entomostraca. 



14. DoKMiNGTON WooD. — Three miles S.W, from Stock-Edith 

 Station. Fine bluish shale. The larger Silurian fossils abundant. 

 Small Brachiopods and Crinoids frequent; with a few fragments of 

 Polyzoa. 



Two species of Entomostraca. 



15. Stock-Say. — About two miles south of Craven Arms Station. 

 Fine yellowish shale in an old quarry. Small Brachiopods abundant. 

 Polyzoa, Crinoids, Spirorhes, and Tentacidites frequent. 



Three species of Entomostraca. 



16. Malvern Tunnel. — 16o. Bed Shale. — This section is in the 

 railway-cutting at the west end of Malvern Tunnel. The shale is 

 not so fine-grained as any of the preceding. Small Brachiopods, 

 Crinoids, and rugose Corals frequent. Minute Tentaculites were 

 common in this gathering. 



Three species of Entomostraca. 



16b. Blue Shale. — At the same place as the last, but rather nearer 

 the mouth of the tunnel. Like the last, this shale is rather coarse- 

 grained. Few minute fossils. 



Two species of Entomostraca. 



III. — Further Observations. 



In all the above-mentioned gatherings of shale, I failed to find 

 even a single small specimen of either a Cephalopod or a Lamelli- 

 branch ; and very few large ones belonging to these orders. 



Pearls (?). — In the shale at Sedgley, Woolhope, Dormington, 

 Lincoln Hill, Benthall Edge, and Gleedon Hill, a number of 

 minute spheroidal bodies occurred. Some are silvery white, some 

 yellowish, and others of a dark-brown colour when viewed by re- 

 flected light. All of them have a peculiar pearly lustre. One that had
