“ Tlie Camerophoria quoted above is a beautiful large species, wliicb I could 
not determine for the present. The Bactrynium also is interesting, which is found 
plentifully in identical specimens in the Salt Range. The genus has been de¬ 
scribed by Giimbel after a very small species out of the ‘ Kossener ’ beds of the 
Bavarian Alps. The zoological relations of the genus, however, are as yet 
thoroughly unknown. 
“ Other beds, possibly also of carboniferous age, which, however, could not be 
ascertained by the few fossils obtained from them, have furnished:— 
Bhynchonella, sp. 
allied to Mli. acuminata, Martin, preserved in a black hard shale, and 
Spirifer cf. striatus, Martin, 
Strmr/ocephalus 1? sp. 
Bhynclionella ? sp. 
all bad specimens, preserved in a dark liver-coloured limestone.” 
The dark-coloured limestone is very probably of carboniferous age, as it came 
from the same locality as the rocks which furnished the fossils of undoubted 
carboniferous affinities. 
“ Of all the Silurian formations, there is only one specimen of rock in the 
Silurian fossil collection. Consisting of a bit of white not very hard 
sandstone, with manganese specks, upon which several 
casts of Stropihomena aranea, Salter, are observable.” 
The sandstone in which this brachiopod occurs comes, as well as I can re¬ 
member, from the neighbourhood of Shilong, as already mentioned.
