The Cystidea have been specially edited by Prof. Loven. All the 

 Crinoidea enumerated and described in this work are from Swedish 

 localities, but many of them are at once seen to be identical with 

 British Silurian species, and it is for this reason more especially, 

 that we have to thank Professor S. Loven and Dr. G. Lindstrom 

 for this very valuable contribution to pal^ontological science, 

 Strange to relate, save for an exceptional paper here and there, this 

 beautiful group of the Echinodermata have remained almost un- 

 noticed in this country. Miller's Crinoidea (1821) and Austin's 

 Crinoidea (1821-44), both rare works, being the only two separate 

 memoirs published in this country on " Stone Lilies." 



IL — Catalogue of the Hutton Collection of Fossil Plants, 



INCLUDING A SYNOPTICAL LiST OF THE CHIEF CARBONIFEROUS 



Species not in the Collection. By G. A. Lebour, F.G.S. 

 Eoyal 8vo. pp. 132. (Newcastle-on-Tyne, Published for the 

 Institute by Andrew Eeid, Printing Court Buildings ; London, 

 Longmans and Co., 1878.) 



THE work by Mr. G. A. Lebour containing the Illustrations of 

 the Fossil Plants belonging to the large collection of the late 

 Mr. W. Hutton, and not published in the " Fossil Flora," has been 

 already noticed in this volume (p. 319). The present work by the 

 same author may be considered as a companion to the former, and 

 comprises a catalogue of the specimens in the Hutton Collection of 

 Fossil Plants in the Newcastle Museum, which is of special value as 

 illustrating the ancient flora of the Newcastle Coal-field. 



Although greater attention has been paid in the Catalogue to such 

 species as are represented in the Collection, or are figured in the 

 " Fossil Flora " of Lindley and Hutton, the student will find most 

 of the chief Carboniferous species of plants, either not found in the 

 collection or known as British forms, therein enumerated, as well as 

 lists of some Triassic or Jurassic plants, thus rendering the work 

 of greater utility. The genera, with their principal diagnostic 

 characters, are arranged chiefly according to the system adopted by 

 Schimper in his Paleontologie Vegetale, and the general catalogue 

 is preceded by an introduction in which the early and present ideas 

 prevalent as to the stratigraphical value of fossils, and to their 

 distribution, are briefly stated. J. M.
