Synopsis

In Part I brief descriptions are given of the goniatite faunas found at horizons in the Scottish Carboniferous succession; and mainly on the evidence of these faunas, the stages of B, P1; P2, E1; and E2 and A are approximately demarcated. No goniatites suggesting the presence of H, R and G have been seen.

In Part II descriptions are given of certain species of the following genera: Beyrichoceratoides, Anthracoceras, Cravenoceras, Cravenoceratoides, Girtyoceras, Eumorphoceras, Goniatites, Sudeticeras, Dimorphoceras, Neodimorphoceras and a new genus, Cluthoceras.
