A memoir by my friend Mr. Davidson, in vol. xviii. p, 25 of the

 not have been confided to better hands. A great number of the 

 species were susceptible of being identified with European and 

 American Carboniferous species, some are new, and others do not 

 possess the palaeozoic aspect which a somewhat experienced palaeon- 

 tologist easily perceives among the fossils of the Carboniferous 

 period. That which occurs in connexion with the Brachiopoda may 

 be remarked likewise among the fossils of other classes which 

 accompany them, and the description of which has been confided to 

 me by their discoverer. Among these fossils, certain species belong 

 to genera that have hitherto only been found in the Secondary for- 

 mations, and occur principally in the lower groups of that great 

 geological period. Such, above all, are the Ceratites, which appear
