Abstract

The holotype of Brancoceras enniskillense Foord, 1903, is shown to be a specimen of Beyrichoceras excavatum (Phillips), 1836, the suture line of which has been misinterpreted. It is associated with Beyrichoceras castletonense (Bisat), indicating the presence of the Upper B2 subzone in the Carboniferous Limestone, of Blacklion.
