The author mentions Dr. Fleming^s conviction that all the fossils 

 recorded in his list were derived from rocks of the carboniferous period^ 

 and the diflSculty he found in referring two of the species of TerehraUda 

 to this age. They recalled to him certain forms of Jurassic or creta- 

 ceous age much more than any shells of the carboniferous period with 

 which he was acquainted. He therefore called attention to them with 

 a view to ascertaining whether they might not have been derived from 

 a less ancient formation. That there were good grounds for his doubts 

 will be seen. 



The Journal of the Geological Society of London also contains a paper

in the Salt Eange. In his opening paragraph, .M de Koninck refers to 

 the paper of Mr. Davidson, mentioning the fact just noticed that some 

 of the Brachiopoda do not possess a palaeozoic aspect. This feature, he 

 observes, may be remarked likewise among the fossils of other classes in

This paper, that of Mr. Davidson, the work of D'Archiac and Haime, and the note 

 by M. de Verneuil, are about the only sources of general palajontological information re^ 

 garding the Salt Range as yet extant, and these refer chiefly to its carboniferous, trias, 

 and nummulitic formations.
