Vi PKOCEEDINGS OF THE GEOLOGICAL SOCIETY. [May 1 896, 



Mr. W. W. Watts, in the absence of Prof. Lapworth, called 

 attention to three specimens of sandstone and limestone containing 

 specimens of some species of Hyolithes, which Prof. Lapworth had 

 fonnd in the higher part of the Cambrian quartzite at Nuneaton, in 

 Warwickshire. Three of the species recognized (Hyolithes princeps, 

 Coleoloides typicalis, and Stenotheca rugosd) occur in the Olenellus- 

 beds of America, and three others, Torrellella laevigata, Hyolithes 

 (Orthotheca) corneolus, and H. de Geeri, in the same rocks in Europe. 

 The Olenellus-zone of Nuneaton occurs above the main mass of the 

 quartzite and below the Stockingford Shales, in a series of rocks 

 only recently exposed by quarrying.
