'Y. — Fossils from tue Coal-Measures of Bohemia. By D. Stur 
and A. Fritsch. Imp. Geol. Inst. Vienna, Meeting Dec. 5, 1876. 
[Coraraunicated by Count Makschall, F.C.G.S.] 
1. Tliree species of fossil Plants were lately found for the first 
time between the first and second Coal-seams of the Kladno-Sclilan 
Basin, namely, Splienopter is irregularis, St. (together with Astero- 
carpus Woiß, Stur, in the same state of preservation as in the roof of 
the upper Coal-bed of Eadnitz) ; Alethopteris Serlii, Brongn. (only the 
apex of a frond) ; and JPecopteris elegans, Germ, (a large fragment 
of a frond, agreeing in minute details with a specimen from Wettin 
in Saxony). 
2. Animal-remains have only been met with in one subdivision 
(Eadnitz Beds) of the Centro-Bohemian Carhoniferous Formation. 
They all belong to essentially Terrestrial Animais — Crustaceans, 
Arachnids, and Insects ; and are distributed thus : — 
In the roof of the upper Eadnitz Coal : Lepidoderma Imhofi, 
Eeuss ; Xyloryctes planus (borings). 
In the upper Eadnitz Coal-seaui : Gampsonyx, sp. (in laminated 
coal). 
In the roof of the lower Eadnitz Coal : Palaranea bornssifoliee, 
Fr.; Cyclophthalmus senior ( Jdicrolabis Sternbergi), Corda; Xyloryctes 
septarius (borings). 
In the floor of the Eadnitz Beds: Gampsonychus parallelus, Fr.; 
Acridites priscus, Andree. 
Excellent specimens of all these forms are preserved in the newly 
established Geological Museum of Prague. 
VI. — The Distribution of the Cephalopoda in the Upper Chalk 
of North Germany. [Verbreitung der Cephalopoden in 
DER OBEREN KREIDE NORD - DEUTSCHLANDS, YOn CLEMENS 
Schlüter.] (Zeitschrift der Deutschen geologischen Gesell- 
schaft, Band xxviii. heft 3.) 
T HIS Memoirby Herrn Clemens Schlüter constitutes a kind of Sup- 
plement to his work “ Cephalopoden der oberen deutschen Kreide.” 
The Upper Cretaceous beds of North Germany are subdivided iuto 
the following zones in ascending Order, viz. : — 
Zone of Pecten asper. Zone of Inoceramus Cuvieri. 
Amin. Margee. 
Scaphites binodosus. 
Becksia Soekelandi. 
Amm. Cccsfcldiensis. 
Heteroceras pohjplocum. 
Amm. varia ns. 
Amm. Rhothomagensis. 
Actinocamax plenus. 
Inoceramus labiatus. 
Inoceramus Brongniarti. 
Heteroceras Reussianum. 
A brief sketch of the geograpliical extent, and equivalents in 
France or England when such exist, together with a list of the 
Cephalopoda obtained, is given under each of these headings; whilst 
appended will be found a table showing the respective vertical 
ranges of the 155 species of Cephalopods in the Chalk of North 
Germany; or, rather, their respective positions in the vertical series: 
for the most prominent fact revealed in this table is the limitation of 
these several species to the different horizons, only a few being 
common to two or sometimes tliree consecutive zones. B.B.W.
