Extract

In the present communication I propose to direct the attention of British Geologists to three most valuable memoirs recently published by Mr. G. Linnarsson, the eminent palæontologist of the Geological Survey of Sweden; and at the same time to point out, as briefly as may be, what appears to me to be their special bearing upon certain tentative or disputed points in British Geology. They treat of subjects of great interest to the student of the palæontogeology of the Lower Palæeozoic or Proterozoic Rocks; but are printed in the Swedish language, with which, unfortunately, few amongst us are familiar. The first two papers deal with the Graptolite-bearing rocks of Sweden; the third treats of the peculiar fauna of a recently-detected horizon in the prolific Paradoxidian or Primordial Zone.
