Sir A. Geikie drew attention to some specimens on the table, 

 which had been collected by the officers of the Geological Survey 

 from the Silurian rocks of County Tipperary. These contained 

 impressions that bore a close resemblance to flattened and drawn-out 

 graptolites, and others that might be taken for moUusca or phyllo- 

 poda enlarged by cleavage. It seemed to him, however, extremely 

 doubtful whether these forms were truly of organic origin. They 

 were exhibited in the hope that the palaeontologists in the Society 

 might be able to throw some light upon them irom the zoological 

 side. 



Dr. G. J. Hinde exhibited and commented on specimens of 

 Devonian rocks sent by Prof. Edgeworth David and Mr. Pittman 

 from the railway- section at Tamworth (New South Wales), which had 

 been received since their paper was read. The specimens included 

 radiolarian shales and submarine tutfs containing impressions of 

 Lepidodendron australe ; similar shales with bands of tuff regularly
