The Oceanic beds of Naparima, in Trinidad, contain numerous forms of Foraminifera of great interest, and I propose to make some observations on a few of them These rocks and their contents were described by me in the Journal of the Geological Society of London, 1892 (vol. Xlvii, p. 519). Messrs. Jukes-Browne and Harrison treated of the same subject in the same journal in 1899 (vol. lv, p. 177), and I have given further particulars in the Proceedings of the Zoological Society, 1894 (p. 647), in the Proceedings of the Trinidad Field-Naturalists Club, 1893, and in the GEOLOGICAL MAGAZINE, 1900, p. 322. A few further observations are published in the Proceedings of the Victoria Institue.

On the 24th of June, 1885, a paper by me, entitled “Observations on some imperfectly known Madreporaria from the Cretaceous Formation of England,” was read at a meeting of the Geological Society which, encountering an adverse report from the referee, was with the consent of the Council, withdrawn by me, and published verbatim in the Geological Magazine of the same year (Dec. III, Vol. II, pp. 541–563, PI. XIV), 1885. The present communication is a continuation as well as a correction of the former one, which has become necessary from the acquisition of additional material.

The present communication is the result of the examination of a considerable number of small Silurian Corals, from Wenlock and Colwall, made as long ago as 1883, and it was written with the intention of its being communicated to the Geological Society. I very much regret, however, that circumstances have arisen which render it extremely difficult, perhaps impossible, for me to place myself aga in incommunication with that body. The paper appears therefore in the pages of the Geological Magazine, a medium for publication which I hope from time to time to have recourse to.

Mr. Alexander Somervail has been so good as to send me lately a paper read by him before Section C of the British Association at Southport, September, 1903, and printed in the Geological Magazine, Dec. IV, Vol. X, No. 472, October, 1903. The paper contains certain criticisms on the published work of Professor Hull, F.R.S., and myself among the Bed Rocks of the South Devon coast, with especial reference to “ the Base of the Keuper iu South Devon.” I desire to reply here to Mr. Somervail, and in so doing shall have to refer frequently to the three papers of my own published in the Quarterly Journal of the Geological Society in the years 1888, 1892, 1893, and to the paper by Professor Hull in the same Journal in the year 1892. For the sake of convenience and brevity I will refer to these papers by certain letters, as below.

In the Geological Magazine for December, 1871 (Vol. VIII., p. 570), we reported the return of the Swedish scientific expedition from the coast of Greenland, bringing home a number of masses of meteoric iron, found there upon the surface of the ground, the largest of which was said to weigh 25 tons. In the Report of the meeting of the Geological Society, Dec. 20th, 1871, contained in our present number (see page 88), we give some further particulars relative to this interesting discovery, which has elicited a letter from the Rev. O. Fisher (see GeologicalMagazine for Jan., 1872, p. 47), and a lively discussion at the Geological Society. We are indebted to R. H. Scott, Esq., F.R.S., for obligingly calling our attention to the account of the original discovery, more than fifty years ago, by Captain (now General Sir Edward) Sabine, of meteoric-iron in Greenland, recorded in the Quart. Journ. of Science, 1819, vol. vii., p. 79, with the analysis of the same, previously published, which we venture to think will prove acceptable information to many of our readers.—[Ed. Geol. Mag.]

In the Geological Magazine (Vol IV. p. 496) I have given some notes on West Indian Geology, with descriptions of a few new species of fossils. The notes were intended, in part, as supplementary to the papers published in the Journal of the Geological Society, and in the Geological Magazine, on the Geology and Palaeontology of the West Indies, and in part to exhibit an improved classification of the Caribean upper and middle Tertiaries.

In the last number of the Geological Magazine Dr. J. W. Gregory has undertaken to give an opinion on the whole of the fossils described by me from the Morte Slates in the Quarterly Journal of the Geological Society of May, 1896. He says he has been tempted to do this because someone had “recently read to the Geological Society of Cornwall” a paper in which he “assumes the Silurian age of the Morte Slates to be so well established that it may be accepted as the basis for future work.” Clearly this was too much for Dr. Gregory, and his righteous indignation compelled him at once to endeavour to put a stop to any such assumption. I do not, however, think that I shall have much difficulty in showing that Dr. Gregory's facts and conclusions are unreliable, and show a want of care and discrimination.

Various theories have been advanced to explain the origin of the Loëss of Europe, Asia, and North America, the latest having been that of Mr. Howorth, in the pages of this Magazine.Although possessing no knowledge of this formation, outside of England, beyond that derived from the descriptions of those personally acquainted with it, I have for some time thought that the Loëss has originated from an agency of which I detect evidences unong those phenomena of the Newer Pliocene period in England which I have endeavoured to trace in detail in a memoir on that subject laid before the Geological Society of London; but as the loëss in general is not discussed by me in that memoir, I venture to offer a few observations on the subject of it for the consideration of the readers of the Geological Magazine.

Sir,—The Geological Magazine for August, p. 394, contains a report of a paper communicated by the Rev. J. M. Mello to the Geological Society, on the 22nd June, 1870, on the above subject. On the 7th September, 1869, I had the honour to read a paper on the same subject to the Natural Science Section of the Nottingham Literary and Philosophical Society. Hence I beg to claim priority in publication on behalf of the above Society. Apart from this, I, of course, do not complain that Mr. Mello should happen to select a very interesting section like that in Tideswell Dale, no doubt being quite unaware that I had already published an account of the same. The sole, though rather dubious, deduction that the author is reported to have made, is “that the columnar clay-bed may perhaps be a local development of that which forms partings in the limestone near Litton Tunnel.”
