Extract

Having in the autumn of 1878 arranged to make a geological excursion to the Eifel, with my friend Mr. John Edward Lee, F.S.A., F.G.S., of Torquay, we were so fortunate, when near Gerolstein, to meet Professor Dr. Ferdinand Roemer, of the University of Breslau, Silesia, who has made the Eifel region his special study, and who cordially joined our party, giving us the benefit of his great knowledge of this most interesting geological region.

page 387 note 1 The carapace, which forms the subject of Fig. 10, on our Plate, has the impression of a Spirorbis having been attached to its surface after death. Others also appear to bear scars of organisms having fixed upon them; probably “spat” of Ostreæ or other small mollusks.

page 388 note 1 “Whilst these notes were passing through the press my attention was obligingly directed by my colleague, MrEtheridge, E.. jun., to a singular form of Phyllopod shield recently described by him, in Part II. of a “Monograph of the Silurian Fossils of the Girvan District,” 1880, pp. 207–210. pl. xiv. figs. 17–20,Google Scholar which is singularly like our Eifel fossil. It is named by him Pinnocaris. It differs chiefly in its much greater breadth in front, and in being shorter in proportion, and the dorsal line is straighter than in Pholadocaris. Another form named Solenocaris strigata by Meek, (see Geology of Ohio, Columbus, 1875, Palæontology, Part II., p. 321, pl. 18, figs. 4 a b c)Google Scholar is equally narrow, but the striæ are differently arranged, and render this form quite distinct. Solenocaris was already preoccupied by MrYoung, J. for a Scottish form from Girvan in 1868 (see op. cit. p. 207).Google Scholar
