310 KEISLEY LIMESTONE-PEBBLES IN PEEL SERIES. [A.Ug. 1903, 



occurrence here, in the Isle of Man, suggests the existence in later 

 Palaeozoic times of an intervening link between the limestone- 

 masses of Keisley and the Chair of Kildare, which Mr. Cowper 

 Reed has already shown to be palaeontologically so closely related. 



Discussion. 



By permission of the Chairman (Mr. Teall), the Secretary read 

 the following remarks received from Mr. P. E. Kendall : — 



' I wish to commend this paper to the Fellows as a most careful and con- 

 scientious piece of work, and at the same time to say how unfortunate I deem 

 it that the Author is unable to present it in person. He identified some of 

 the fossils as Ordovician species, at a time when all observers were disposed 

 to refer the limestone-pebbles to the Carboniferous Series. I chanced to see 

 some of the specimens, and immediately recognized the exact resemblance 

 between the matrix and the Keisley Limestone, an identification which is now 

 fully confirmed. 



' It is much to be regretted that the Author has not undertaken the re- 

 examination of the other fossiliferous pebbles from the Peel Sandstones, 

 for I think that it is in the highest degree probable that the alleged Car- 

 boniferous species will be found to be actually Ordovician ; the matrix seems 

 to be of the Keisley type in all cases.'
