568 MISCELLANEA. 



and include Turbinolopsis, Cyathophyllum, Favosites, Caunopora, 

 Fenestella, Retepora, and various Crmoidea; Oucullea, Avicula, 

 Leptcena, Orthis, Spirifer ; Orthoceratites, Goniatites, and Tri- 

 lobites, together with a specimen or two of Onchus. The cliffs and 

 quarries near Polruan, and thence to the harbour's mouth and to 

 Lantick Bay, afford similar fossils in like abundance. At Polperro 

 are the splendid fish rocks, and in these are Cephalaspis, and 

 Holoptychius, with Belleropkon and Turritella of the Old Red 

 Sandstone, and Sphagodus and Onchus of the Upper Ludlow 

 rocks, with portions of teeth and probably Coprolites. The fish- 

 bone bed extends from Ready-money Cove, Fowey Harbour, to 

 beyond Talland sand, near West Looe. 



There is also a .hard calcareous rock with Belleropkon, &c, 

 which extends from near Polperro, and may be traced across 

 Talland Beach. Continuing the coast line from Talland sand to 

 West and East Looe, thence to beyond Mellendreth, near Seaton, 

 and so on to Whitsand Bay, we find quartzose and clay slates, 

 intermingled with limestones, all containing great quantities of 

 fossils, similar to those of Fowey, &c. Leaving the coast and 

 proceeding inland by the new road to Barcelona, near Pelynt, and 

 then along the east side of the Looe to near Morval, the rocks are 

 highly fossiliferous ; and if we continue our journey inland to 

 Menheniott, in the splendid slate quarry of Rose Vale, we find 

 Turbinolopsis, Crinoidea, Trilobites, &c. Similar specimens, in a 

 similar rock are also found at Wade Bridge, on St. Breock and 

 Withiel Downs, and, indeed, in various places in those vicinities ; 

 thus showing, since they are also found in similar slates containing 

 limestones, on the north coast from Tintagel to beyond Newquay, 

 that the fossiliferous beds extend through the country. 



At Lower St. Columb, Goniatites and Onchus have been found, 

 and, in addition to these localities, must be mentioned South 

 Petherwyn, which supplied so many fossils described by Professor 

 Phillips *, and Tintagel, not visited by the author. 



The author has found similar fossils to the Cornish ones, in 

 slates, at Millbrook, Baker's Place, and Sandy Cove, near Plymouth ; 

 Meadsfoot Sand, and the Bathing Cove, Torquay ; and near 

 Paington, in Devonshire.
