Extract

Among the many beautiful fossils from the Silurian strata of Bohemia, obtained by M. J. Barrande, there have been discovered numerous detached spines, measuring from six seven inches in length, which, from their resembalance to the genus Leptocheles of M'Coy, have received the MS. name of Leptocheles Bohemicus (Barr).
