up Professor Sedgewick’s estimate of it, I had, with some 
precaution, named the entrails or coprolite of a fish, 
(Table 7, Fig. 3) was in fact a specimen of the same 
description. It gives a view of three of the chambers, the 
central dot corresponding indeed to the syphon. This mul- 
tilocular shell belonging to the nautilite cephalopods is 
nearly characteristic of the grauwacke series. Professor 
Buckland it seems found a Nautilus at Filleigh,—North of 
Devon, and Mr. Johns, as recorded by De la Beche, found 
a Trilobus at Whitsand Bay in the sandstone, an animal 
purely characteristic of the series. Table 5.—The upper¬ 
most figure represents a Turritella procured from the 
new red sandstone conglomerate by Mr. R. Hunt of 
Paington, and lent to this work by Mr. G. Bartlett. It has 
been here introduced because the conglomerate of this 
county has been all along considered as devoid of fossils, 
whereas the present specimen occurred betiveen the different 
fragments of which the stratum is composed, and was further 
so distinctly a relique of that sera to which it is ascribable, 
that its structure actually consists of particles gained from 
the surrounding bits of rock which compose its matrix. 
It is assuredly the only animal remain which has ever been 
found in the new red sandstone. The middle figure is a 
Turbo ivom the slate at Boveysand, discovered by and lent to 
this work by Miss Hook ; specimens from the same genus 
have I believe been procured from roofing slate in Corn¬ 
wall. The lowest figure seems also to be a shell , (bivalve) 
found likewise by Miss Hook at Boveysand, but there is a 
degree of obscurity attached to its character.* Mr. Peach 
has discovered a Spirifer in slate near Goran, and similar 
to such as I have found in the slaty lime close to Plymouth. 
He is also the discoverer of a cluster of Terebratulites in 
a quartzose rock associated with slate and limestone in his 
neighbourhood. This gentleman in bringing to light these 
and other novelties in the Cornish series of organic reliques, 
has with great industry traced their presence in the rocks 
of the coast—sandstone, slate, quartzose rock, and lime 
* This and the Turbo were painted in preparation for the 
lithographer by Miss C. Jones, her name as the artist having been 
accidentally omitted in the Table.
