Abstract

PERMIT me to state that the presumed “important bearing”on the so-called “Eozöon Canadense,” of the principal fact noticed in the communication entitled Palæozoic Crinoids, which appears in NATURE of May 25th, is discussed in a paper by Dr. Rowney and myself, contained in the forthcoming number of the Proceedings of the Royal Irish Academy, now on the eve of publication. The paper referred to is a reply to the articles by Drs. Dawson and Sterry Hunt, which appeared in the last (second) number of the Proceedings.
