202 REVIEWS. 
The second paper is by J. Beete Jukes, and A. Wyley, Esqrs., On the 
Structure of the North-Eastern Part of the County of Wicldow; the 
third, by T. D. Triphook, Esq., On the Geology of the neighbourhood of 
Skull, in the County of Cork, accompanied by a geological section, from 
the eastern end of Long Island to western boundary of Mount Gabriel 
Wood ; the fourth, by the Rev. Professor Haughton, On Fossils from the 
Carboniferous Limestone. We have here an account of five fossils— 
figures of two of which are lithographed—viz., Tragos semicircular© 
(M‘Coy), Atrypa hastata (Sow.), Orthoceras unguis (Phil.), and 0. fusi- 
forme (Sow.). From numerous sections of this fossil, Mr. Haughton 
has ascertained that it is provided with a beaded siphuncle, differing 
in no respect from that of 0. unguis; it also possesses the curved outline 
of the latter; from these circumstances, he is strongly inclined to adopt 
the opinion that it should be considered the same fossil. Producta 
gigantea (Sow.); from an examination of a great number of specimens 
of these fossils, in situ , at Vaynol Wood and Bryn Adda, Caernarvon, Mr. 
Haughton is satisfied that this fossil should be considered the same as 
P. Scotica (Sow.); the striation near the beak is the same ; and it is only 
in large specimens, and at a considerable distance from the beak, that 
the longitudinal digitiform ribs, characteristic of the P. gigantea, make 
their appearance. We have then the report from the council, which 
contains a list of the donations, members, &c.; and, lastly, the president’s 
annual address.

We think we can best introduce this work to the notice of our readers by 
quoting, in part, the Prospectus which accompanies it:— 
“ The increased attention that has, of late years, been directed to this 
beautiful and interesting tribe of plants^ and the absence of any coloured 
figures on the subject, have induced the publication of the present work. 
When completed, it will contain figures and descriptions of forty-six species 
and varieties of Ferns found in the British Isles. The descriptions will be, 
in every instance, carefully revised and adapted to the present advanced 
state of Cryptogamic Botany. The figures will be all accurately drawn 
and engraved from the respective plants; and thus many errors in identity 
and general detail, which had unavoidably occurred in 4 The English
