Mr. Kinston publishes, in the last part of the remeecins of the 
Royal Physical Society of Edinburgh, some ‘‘ Notes he Pa le ozoic 
Hutton, and deals only with the specimens known to them, making 
such observations on their types and original species as may be 
thought ae ; in those cases a the types are lost,” oe 
emarks are ‘confined to their figures and to other specim 
which appear to eee light on the sabjaot: Lhe | val be tbbecting 
to know whether any of the missing types are at University College, 
London—a suggestion based on the following extract from a circular 
a late last nee in connection with the bt botanical labora- 
at that ion :—‘‘ During the current term a very 
Sanualia collection of fossils, SuikacnGig the ‘chief genera of plants 
occurring in the coal-measures, has come to light, and is now being 
added to the noe of museum objects. The late Professor Lindley, 
who died in 1865, was a acaniend aap on fossil plants, and 
it was suspected that somewhere among his collections there would 
be a series of fossil types. Search, however, failed to reveal them, 
and it was onl i 
it y during building o operations, just concluded, that 
they were aM Le by the workmen, after twenty-five years, 
stowed away in three large chests.”
