I.—Devonian Fossils from the Parish of St. Minver, North Cornwall

Extract

I Contributed a paper to the April number of the Geological Magazine for 1900 on the geology and fossils of the Devonian rocks on the north coast of Cornwall, south of the River Camel. In the present communication I propose to notice a series of fossils which I have lately obtained from the slaty rocks of Devonian age in the parish of St. Minver on the north of the Camel, which, from Trewornan, one mile north of Wadebridge, for the lower five miles of its course as river and estuary, forms the southern and south-western boundary of this parish. The open sea-coast forms its northern and north-western boundary, extending from the easterly limit at the Cove of Port Quin, the site of an old but now forsaken fishing village, about eight miles south-west of King Arthur's Castle, Tintagel, westwards round the basaltic cliffs of Pentire Head, and thence in a southerly direction to the estuary of the Camel.
