 stones, many objects were seen which were not fully described, 

 or named, in my paper of December 2nd, 1890. The 

 Entoniostraca cannot well be identified when thus seen, cut 

 through by the section. All the published plates of the 

 Entoniostraca represent the exterior forms of the objects. 

 Many similar fossils to those seen in the limestones have 

 since been found in the shales and clays at Levenshulme 

 which are interbedded with the limestones, and they 

 probably represent the same varieties as those entombed 

 in the solid rocks. A good many of these small objects, 

 which are about the size of bird seeds, have been washed 

 out of the shales and clays by Mr. Roeder and others, with
