of the Bowen Eiver Coal-field to the Upper Carboniferous or Permo- 

 Carboniferous, and those from the Tait Eiver to the Cretaceous. 

 Twenty-six species of animal remains, chiefly Mollusca, are described 

 in all, twenty of which are from the Bowen Eiver Coal-field ; the 

 latter include a fine series of Strophalosice. The new species are 

 Protoretepora Koninckii from the Permo-Carboniferous of Bowen 

 Eiver, and Crioceras Jaclcii from the Cretaceous ; also Strophalosia 

 Jukesii from the Carboniferous of New South Wales. The paper 

 included a list of the localities in which the specimens were 

 collected, and a full bibliography of Queensland palaeontology. 



5. " On a Fossil Squilla from the London Clay of Highgate, part 

 of the Wetherell Collection in the British Museum." By H. Wood- 

 ward, Esq., LL.D., F.E.S., F.G.S. 



The specimen described is preserved, as usual, in a phosphatic 

 nodule, and exhibits five well-preserved abdominal segments (xiv.- 

 xviii.), a portion of the carapace, traces of the thoracic appendages, 

 and the appendages of the twentieth segment preceding the telson. 

 The abdominal segments increase in breadth posteriorly as in 

 modern Squillce. The species is most nearly allied to a recent 

 Australian Squilla (unnamed) related to S. Besmarestii. The author 

 proposed the name of Squilla Wetherelli for the London-clay fossil. 



6. " On Necroscilla Wilsoni, a supposed Stomatopod Crustacean 

 from the Middle Coal-measures, Cossall, near Ilkeston, Derbyshire." 

 By H. Woodward, Esq., LL.D., F.E.S., F.G.S. 



The specimen described was found by Mr. E. Wilson, of Notting- 

 ham, in a nodule of Claj'-ironstone. It consists of the four posterior 

 abdominal somites and the telson. The author discussed its zoolo- 

 gical characters, which led him to regard it as approaching the 

 Stomatopoda rather than the Isopoda. He thought it probable that 

 Dr. Dawson's Biplostylus is allied to this newly-discovered form, for 

 which he proposed the name of Necroscilla Wilsoni. 



7. " On the Discovery of a Fossil Squilla in the Cretaceous Depo- 

 sits of Hakel, in the Lebanon." By H. Woodward, Esq., LL.D. 



This fossil Squilla occurs in a collection, chiefly consisting of 

 fossil fish, but also including several Crustacea and some beautifully 

 preserved Cephalopoda, obtained in the Lebanon by Prof. E. E. 

 Lewis, of Beirut. The specimens are in a compact cream-coloured 

 limestone, most of the slabs of which contain examples of Clupea 

 brevissima and C. Bottom, fragments of Eurypholis Boissieri, and other 

 fishes. Like the London-clay form, the species seems to be most 

 nearly allied to the Australian species collected by Prof. Jukes, 

 the segments are not ornamented with spines and ridges. The 

 author proposed for it the name of Squilla Lewisii. 



8. " On the Occurrence of a Fossil King-Crab (Limulus) in the 

 Cretaceous Formation of the Lebanon." By H. Woodward, Esq. 



This was another of Prof. Lewis's discoveries, and was of much 

 interest as helping to bridge over the interval between the Jurassic 

 Limuli of Solenhofen and those now living. The author described 

 the characters presented by the single specimen, for which he pro- 

 posed the name of Bimulus syriacus.
