page 142 note * This is scarcely correct. I noticed the peculiar fibrons structure which appears in the interstices between the cast and the matrix, and suggested, or meant to do no more than suggest, that this was possibly fibrous shell-structure, like that of the Lingula, or Pinna. I should scarcely like to say I believed in the former existence of a Lingula six or eight inches long. I exhibited the specimens kindly sent tome by Mr. Taylor at the meeting of the Geological Society, February, 1863. Unfortunately, I was not able to be present; but I could not learn from other Fellows who were there that any decided opinion was expressed about them.—Ed. Geol.
