In answer to the second question, there is no classified stratigraphical list of 
British fossils. Professor Morris begmi such a catalogue in the first volume 
of this magazine, but when he will continue and complete it we cannot say. 
Professor Morris's " Catalogue of British Possils," which is arranged on a 
natural history basis, is a well-known book of reference. Its cost is, we 
believe, twelve shillings. 
One word we must add, addressed to all collectors. Pray label every speci- 
men with the localitij in which it was found, either by a gummed ticket or by 
writing on it with iulc or India-ink. 
Jewstoxe a\d La?is Lazuli. — Dear Sir, — I enclose you an opinion in 
s\ipport of my o-wn assertion that basalt is locally called jewstone. You will 
find it in a paper on the Iron Kings, by my friend Mr. John Randall, of 
Madeley. The following is the passage referred to : — 
" Decidedly the most singular, if not the most interesting member of the 
Shropshire field, is the outlier of the Brown Clee hUls, more particularly by 
that of Abdou Barf. It is the highest coal-field in England, being nearly three 
hundred feet above the summit of the Wrckin, an elevation to which it has 
been raised by volcanic action, the boiling up of melted basalt, which lifted the 
entire group. In many places the subterranean and submarine lava has pierced 
the seams, consuming the coal, calcining the u-onstone, and spreading itself in 
a sheet along the surface. These coveted minerals, by means of little square 
shafts, well planked on the four sides to the bottom, are sought for amid rents 
the earthquake and volcano have made, and beneath a covering of basalt so hard 
as to resist the tool, and from that circumstance called jewstone by the 
miners." 
I ought to have given the real derivation of the word, which is, of course, 
from the Celtic dhu (black). In this border coimtry we have many primitive 
words. Clee is but the Saxon leagh aspirated in the Cwyrie fashion, as if it 
was spelt cllee, 
I have been into the region of the clees this last week, and am very much 
jileased to acknowledge my entire belief in the discovery of the lapis lazuli, 
which I noted in my " Rocks," p. 38, as a stated but somewhat dubious pro- 
duction of the Titterstone basalt. While at Cleobury I met with the stone- 
breaker, William Gettings by name, who found it while breaking basalt for 
road-stone, and I am quite convinced, from the simple truthful manner in 
which he related the circumstance, that it was a find. — G. E. Roberts. 
EisH AND Entomostraca IN Upper Coai-Measures. — Dear Sir, — 
I should be glad to ask in your magazine if any fish-remains have been 
detected in the estuarine shales of the uppermost coal-measures. (SUuria, 
thu-d edition, p. 322.) Suiee I wrote my " Rocks of Worcestershire," this 
interesting bed has been broken into at a fresh place, Rees' Pit, near Blake-
