Extract

A paper by M. Barrande, which has been recently published, seems to call for some reply. M. Barrande, whilst working out the succession in Bohemia, adopted Sir R. I. Murchison's name “Silurian,” and even applied it to lower rocks than did ever Murchison himself, and in the paper under consideration he supports this classification.
