of China there are no other localities where a lower Carboniferous fossil has 

 been discovered. Almost al! of the so-called lower Carboniferous species of 

 Fkech and others are in reality those that exist through all the stages ot the 

 Carboniferous even up to the Permian. P'or instance the brachio[)ods from 

 Shan-tung that were reported by Fkf.ch as lower Carboniferous forms are not 

 confined to that period but reach far u])wards.^' 



Oi tliotctcs of the other sense than that of Fki-:ch also is not strictly a 

 lower Carboniferous form, for it has been recorded from the Permo-carboni- 

 ferous formations of China and Indo-china b\' Luczv-* and Maxsuv''' 

 respectively.
