similar fauna ; and, having collected from all, I found the Brendola 

 beds. the most instructive, and there the preservation is the best *. 



The late Dr. G. B. Gottardi t has also given a list of species from 

 Montecchio Maggiore ; but he follows the generic and specific names 

 given by Eeuss, even where Reuss himself had subsequently intro- 

 duced modifications, or reduced the synonymy ; and nothing is added 

 to our knowledge of the characters, so that we do not know what 

 qualifications Gottardi possessed for making the determinations. 



Besides these already-known localities, I have collected from two 

 in the Veronese which are of considerable geological interest ; and 

 both are new localities. The first is Ferrara di Monte Baldo. The 

 mountain is on the east of the Lake of Garda, and the deposit occurvS 

 at about 4670 feet above sea-level and about 1750 feet above the 

 \dllage (by the path leading to Madonna del Neve, i^ast the Austrian 

 frontier) as a thin bed, where, although the Bryozoa are numerous , 

 they are very badly preserved ; and the same remark will apply to 

 the second locality, Eonzo, near Mori, in the Tirol, north of the Lake 

 of Garda. 



[Since this paper was read, I have again visited JN^orth Italy, and 

 collected from Male and Priabona, both near Schio in the Vicentine : 

 and also from near Ferrara di Monte Baldo. I did not, however, 

 find the beds uncovered at the locality mentioned in the paper ; but 

 about halfway between the village and the frontier (marked 

 ISTovezzina in the Austrian maps) a blue marl attains to a consi- 

 derable thickness, containing many Bryozoa. Besides the species 

 mentioned, Mm^oporella distoma, B., occurs at Malo and I^ovezzina. 

 —A. W. W., Dec. 24, 1890.] 



The Ferrara deposit lies above a series of beds commencing with 

 those containing large Nummulites, as iV". Brongniarti, &c., then beds 

 with Ca7icer jounctulatus, &c., then with Serpula spirulcea, — in fact 

 similar to the Vicentine series. 



Many of the species are known from the Lower Tertiaries of other 

 parts of Europe ; Eeuss, in a series of papers, has given descriptions 

 from several places in the north of Europe, as Sollingen, Latdorf, 

 &c. ; and recently Koschinsky % has published an important T^^ork on 

 the South-Bavarian Tertiary Bryozoa. Pergens § also has given 

 lists and some descriptions of species from Hungarian and other 

 localities. 



The Vicentine fossils are dark in hue, and this makes the study of 

 them difficult and very fatiguing, especially as the marl is often 

 hardened in the cavities, obscuring the characters. The specimens 



^ Grancona, alluded to in the paper, is near Lonigo, in the Colle Berici ; 

 Bocea di Sciesa is between the two.
