without any tendency to become nodose. Another Coal-Measure 

 example is Pleuronautilus rotifer (Salter), from the marine band at 

 Ashton-under-Lyne, but this species seems to have more affinity to 

 Sowerby's Pl.falcatus than to the Staffordshire specimen. 



Pleuronautilus pulcher. Crick. 1 (PI. XXXVI, fig; 3.) 



This species has been very recently described by Mr. G. C. Crick, 



F.G.S., from specimens obtained from the Pendleside Series near 



Hebden Bridge. I have now to record the occurrence of the species 



in the Coal-Measures. 



Locality. — North-Staffordshire Coalfield: 71 feet below the 



Four-Feet Coal, Cheadle. 



Ephippioceras costatum, Foord. 



Several fragments of this species have been found, showing the 

 peculiar and characteristic suture-lines and the costate body- 

 chamber, which distinguish the species from others. This species 

 was already known from the Coal-Measures of Coalbrookdale, in 

 the Pennystone Ironstone. It is found below the Gin Mine at 

 Nettlebank (North Staffordshire). 



Nautilolds. 



Several fragments of a form which probably belongs to Temno- 

 cheilus, bearing well-marked, short, conical tubercles along the 

 margins of the periphery, have been obtained below the Gin-Mine 

 Coal at Nettlebank. Unfortunately they are neither large enough, 

 nor do they show details sufficiently well to determine the species ;, 

 but the form is most probably new to Great Britain. 



Temnocheilus carbonarius, Foord. (PI. XXXVI, fig. 4.) 



Fragments which, I think, must belong to this species, occur in 

 the marine band 71 feet below the Four-Feet Coal of Cheadle. 



One fragment shows a broad periphery, and an angular margin, 

 with elongate tubercles. The periphery has fine longitudinal line& 

 crossing the deeply-sinuated lines of growth. 



Dr. Foord's type, a fragment, is from Coalbrookdale (Shropshire). 

 In the description he says : — 



• A little below the border of the periphery there are three not very prominent 

 and rather elongated nodes, with faint indications of two more towards the 

 aperture.' (Brit. Mus. Catal. Foss. Cephal. pt. ii, 1891, p. 151.) 



I possess a specimen from Coalbrookdale, consisting of the body- 

 chamber and two septa, which shows on the body-chamber five 

 nodes, and one other is faintly indicated near the aperture. The 

 number of nodes is, therefore, not a specific character. 



Temnocheilus concavus (Sow.). 



Two fragments of the body-chamber may, I think, be safely 

 referred to this species. They show the sulcus along the median
