174, Since the table on the distribution of the fossil species was drawn up, I have examined some more specimens, sent me by Mr. Wood, which show that Balanus concavus and Hameri are found in the Red Crag; and that Verruca Strömia is found in the Coralline Crag; this will make the total in the Coralline Crag ten, and in the Red Crag eight. I should, however, add, that the identification of Verruca Strömia in the two Crags is a little doubtful, as the specimen was without the opercular valves.
