  [Abstract.] 
  

  

  The 
  author 
  stated 
  that 
  in 
  an 
  exposure 
  of 
  light-green 
  micaceous 
  

   shales 
  dipping 
  south-east 
  at 
  50° 
  at 
  Shineton, 
  near 
  Cressage, 
  which 
  

   are 
  represented 
  as 
  of 
  Caradoc 
  age 
  in 
  the 
  Geological-Survey 
  Map, 
  

   he 
  found 
  a 
  series 
  of 
  Trilobites 
  and 
  other 
  fossils 
  which 
  induced 
  him 
  

   to 
  regard 
  these 
  Shineton 
  shales 
  as 
  belonging 
  to 
  the 
  Lower 
  Tremadoc 
  

   series. 
  He 
  described 
  as 
  new 
  species 
  Asaphus 
  Eos, 
  Conocoryphe 
  

   Salteri, 
  0. 
  angulifrons, 
  Platypeltis 
  Croftii, 
  Conophrys 
  salopiensis, 
  

   Lichapyge 
  cuspidata, 
  Lingulella 
  Nicholsoni, 
  Metoptoma 
  Sabrina?, 
  

   and 
  Theca 
  lineata. 
  The 
  author 
  regarded 
  these 
  shales 
  as 
  the 
  equi- 
  

   valents 
  of 
  beds 
  containing 
  Diciyonema 
  found 
  near 
  Malvern 
  and 
  at 
  

   Pedwardine. 
  

  

  Discussion. 
  

  

  Mr. 
  Etheeidge 
  differed 
  entirely 
  from 
  the 
  author, 
  and 
  thought 
  

   the 
  fossils 
  exhibited 
  by 
  him 
  were 
  of 
  Caradoc 
  age. 
  

  

  Mr. 
  Hicks 
  was 
  inclined 
  to 
  refer 
  the 
  fossils 
  to 
  the 
  Upper 
  Llan- 
  

   deilo 
  ; 
  but 
  the 
  fragments 
  exhibited 
  were 
  not 
  sufficient 
  to 
  enable 
  the 
  

   species 
  to 
  be 
  determined.
