BIBLIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH. 31 



The following genera and species are described as new from Carboniferous 

 beds : 



Avicula pristina. 

 Pterinea liyperlorea. 

 Area exigua. 



Nucula carhonaria, 

 Astarte socialis. 



1860. The Rev. Thomas Brown read a paper entitled "Notes on the Mountain 

 Limestone and Lower Carboniferous Rocks of the Fifeshire Coast from Burnt- 

 island to St. Andrews," before the Royal Society of Edinburgh, subsequently 

 published in vol. xxii of the ' Transactions ' at p. 385. 



Lists of fossils are given from the Limestone beds described, and three figures 

 are given of a " strong handsome Schizodus " from drawings furnished by 

 Mr. Salter.^ It is stated that Fleming thought this shell was identical with Anatina 

 attenuata, M'Coy. They occur in countless masses in a bed south-east of 

 Kingsbarns, and from near Colinton. 



1860. In the Palseontological Notes, p. 11, by Mr. Bailey in the ' Geological Survey 

 Memoir,' " Explanation of sheet 143, Ireland, illustrating parts of the counties 

 of Clare, Kerry, and Limerick," 1860, a figure is given of a new shell, Myalina 

 Foynesiana, which occurs with Aviculopecten and Posidonomya, but no description 

 appears. At p. 19 in the same memoir, figures and description of another new 

 shell, Lunulacardium Footii, from basal shales of the Coal Measures of Rosscliff, 

 CO. Clare, are given. In 1862 the same author in the Palgeontological Notes of the 

 Memoir explaining sheet 127, illustrating portion of Queen's County, figures at 

 p. 9 (figs. 2 a — e), Leda attenuata, Sanguinolites iMcatus, Solenopsis pelagicus, 

 from the Lower Limestone shale of BallyduflF River, Buunow, King's County. 



Numerous lists of localities and fossils are given in other Memoirs of 

 the Irish Survey by the same author, but no new species are described. 



1860. On July 20th, 1860, G. C. Swallow read a paper before the Academy of 

 Science of St. Louis, subsequently published in vol. i of the ' Transactions,' p. 635, 

 entitled " Description of New Fossils from the Carboniferous and Devonian Rocks 

 of Missouri," in which the following species of Carboniferous Lamellibranchs are 

 described, but not figured : 



Edmondia Marionensis. 

 CardiomorpJia ? triangulata. 

 Cardinia occidentalis. 



Solen Missouriensis. 

 Allorisma ensiformis. 

 Pecten Sallii. 



In the ' Proceedings of the Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia ' for 

 1860, p. 496, Messrs. Meek and Worthen published a paper under the title 

 " Descriptions of New Carboniferous Fossils from Illinois and other Western 



1 This shell subsequently received the name Schizodus Salteri at the bauds of Mr. E. 

 Etbridge, jun.
