As Dr. Anton Fritsch of Prague has brought the relics of Permian animals (Sauria and Fishes) from the Gas-coal of Nürschan and from the “Schwarte,” near Rakonitz, before the Meeting of the British Association at Glasgow in September last, it will certainly not be without interest, to give some geological and historical notes on this most important occurrence, and I may, I trust, be allowed to do so in the Geological Magazine.

page 105 note 4 The local name for a kind of Gas-coal.
page 105 note 5 In the Kladno-Rakonitz Coal-basin, N.W. of Prague, Bohemia.
page 106 note 1 Some of the same genera and species also occur again higher in the true Permian, in N.E. Bohemia, Silesia, Saxony, the Saarbrück basin, etc.
page 106 note 2 See Maps of the Vienna Geological Institution.
1 All these localities are well seen on the Geological Maps issued by the k. k. Geologischen Reichsanstalt.

page 110 note 4 I think it is the same locality, or very near, of which I just spoke.
page 111 note 1 This village Rothonjezd (Roth = red) has certainly obtained its name from the red colour of the soil, which is caused by the decomposed Red Sandstones.
page 111 note 2 Professor Krejci of Prague is also of the same opinion.

page 117 note 2 My paper, “Studien in Kohlengebirge,” etc., was later discussed in Nature, July 27, 1876, p. 270, where the reviewer concludes as follows: “But faults like these will not detract from the real value of the work; when the time comes for a rectification of boundaries on the Permo-Carboniferous frontier, the vast mass of carefully-observed facts which it furnishes will form no unimportant contribution to the body of evidence by which the question must be decided. The author may have been premature in his conclusions, but his industry and application have produced a work that will have a permanent value.”
