A brief notice of some of the more important Rhætic Fossils in the district described in this Magazine (vol. i. p. 257) may perhaps be some guide to the identification of the beds in other British localities.
Since the paper published in the Geological Magazine (Vol. I., p. 257) was written, Sir Roderick Murehison, F.R.S., Mr. Bristow, F.R.S., and Mr. Etheridge, F.G.S., on an examination of the beds therein described, and also of the corresponding strata in South Wales, hare determined upon naming them the Penarth series, from their great development at that place, and from the desirability of having a British name for a series of rocks well represented in the British Isles, and shown by a distinct colour on the Map of the Geological Survey.—[See British Association Reports in Geological Magazine (Vol. I., p. 236).]
