The specimens figured in Plate II are all from tlie Museum of the Geological 

 Survey of Ireland. 



Formation. — Carboniferous Limestone. 



Localities. — Little Island, Cork ; N. E. of Ballintra and Carrickbreeny, Donegal ; 

 Doohybeg, Co. Limerick, Ireland. 



We subjoin Prof. M' Coy's original description of Phillipsia Golei, from his 

 " Synopsis."^ 



" Specific Characters. — Elongate, oval ; length rather less than twice the width ; 

 sides parallel ; cephalo-thorax smooth ; glabella rounded in front, but not 

 encroaching on the margin, slightly convex, constricted at the sides ; cephalo- 

 thoracic furrows distinct, cheeks large, flattened; wings narrow, ending poste- 

 riorly in short triangular spines ; eyes small, lunate. Thorax : axal lobe rather 

 wider than the lateral ones ; each segment having a row of minute, crowded, irre- 

 gular granulations ; pygidium rounded, margin broad, finely granulated, each seg- 

 ment having a row of numerous, crowded, very unequal granulations, larger than 

 those of the thorax. 



" This species resembles P. Kellii, of Portlock, but is easily distinguished by the 

 character of the granulation of the segments. Length 11 lines, width 6 lines ; 

 length of glabella 4 lines, width 6 lines. I have dedicated this elegant fossil to 

 the Earl of Enniskillen."
