Extract

During a recent examination of a collection of fossils made by Mr. George Wild in the Burnley Coal-field, Mr. John Ward, F.G.S., recognized a novelty in the small Microsaurian which forms the subject of the following notes. The specimen was forwarded to the British Museum for determination, and a detailed study of its characters proves it to represent a Microsaurian family that has not previously occurred in the Carboniferous of Europe.
