Hind — Notes on the Homotaxial Equivalents, (^r. 105 



markings to those which are seen in the flags at Kilkee and near 

 Liscannor, to which the name of Crassochorda has been given. 

 To sum up : — 



1. The Pendleside series of the Midlands is well represented in 



County Clare- 



2. These beds in County Clare are about 80 feet thick, and they 



lie conformably on the upper beds of the Carboniferous 

 Limestone, which seems to have the same top all over the 

 county, and in County Limerick. 



3. The fossils are identical with those found at Chokier in 



Belgium and in the Pendleside series of England. 



4. The fossils which characterise the lowest beds of the Pendleside 



series — viz., Fosidotiomya Becheri and Prolecanites com- 

 pressus — have not yet been found in County Clare. 



5. The series of grits and flagstones which overlie the Upper 



Limestone Shales are, as stated by the Geological Survey, 

 the homotaxial equivalents of the Millstone Grits, and are 

 largely marine in origin, several well-defined marine bands 

 occuiTing in them, characterised by Glyphioceras reticulatum. 



PALAEONTOLOGY. 



CCELE^s^TEKATA. 



Zaphrentis: cf. Z. Phillipsii, Edwards and Haime. PI. v., fig. 1, 1a. 



This specimen has been sliced and studied for me by Mr. J. A. 

 Howe, who writes that he considers it referable to the above species. 

 Locality — Puffing Hole, Kilkee. Horizon = Millstone Grit. 



ECHHs^ODERMATA. 

 Scaphiocrinus ? 



"With regard to this species Dr. Bather writes : "To judge from 

 the arm branching and the few cup-plates that are visible, one might 

 refer it with some probability to the Scaphiocrinidmy 



Locality — Lower marine band, Puffing Hole, Kilkee. Horizon = 

 Millstone Grit.
