[Abstract.] 



After commenting on the want of published information con- 

 cerning the Polyzoa of the Cambridge Greensand, as shown by the 

 fact that none are mentioned in Mr. Jukes-Browne's list of the fossils

 the whole of Mr. T. Jesson's collection from the coprolite-bed for 

 description. The collection is large and important, and the Polyzoa 

 contained in it exhibit a facies distinct from that of the Jurassic beds 

 on the one hand and of the Upper Chalk on the other. There is but

 Cambridge-Greensand Polyzoa occurred unattached to any matrix ;
