Abstract
I AM much obliged by your insertion of my letter on “Fossils in Trap.” You are right in supposing that the trap I referred to was crystalline augitic trap. If it had been tufa I should not have written to you as I did, as I was well aware that fossils in tufa were of common occurrence. Shortly after I wrote I found that the Favosites gothlandica which shows the section is still imbedded in a portion of the slate, which is olive-coloured, and closely resembling the trap. This is so intimately connected with the trap that it is impossible to trace a line of connection.
