[NIE ODUCTORY EXPAN ATION.

Tux introduction to the first part of the ‘Monograph of the Great Oolite Mollusca’
contained an intimation that, with increasing knowledge of the testacea of the Cornbrash
and Forest Marble, it might eventually be desirable to give an additional monograph, or
an Appendix to that work. The materials which have latterly been placed at the disposal
of the writer are so considerable that he has been induced to endeavour to fulfil the
anticipatory announcement made in 1850, and also to correct some errors, both textual
and typographical, which occur in the former Monograph. In the execution of his task
the writer begs thankfully to acknowledge the assistance he has received in the loan of
specimens from gentlemen whose names will be found mentioned in connexion with each
of the species illustrated, nor can he omit gratefully to mention the great advantages he
has derived from the constant opportunities that have been afforded to him of comparing
the Oolitic fossils of the southern counties with those of Yorkshire, contained in the very

extensive and choice collection of Mr. Leckenby, of this place.

Testa bullatd, irregulari ; anfractibus subinvolutis, latis, ultimo angustato, transversim
late costato ; costis inequalibus; apertura constrictd, semilunari. (D’Orbigny.)

Shell inflated, globose, variable in form throughout all the stages of its growth, orna-
mented with large, transverse, slightly elevated ribs, which pass from the umbilicus over
the back to the other side, not straight, but curved forwards; these are separated by other
shorter ribs, which alternate with the larger series of ribs in the adult state, but in the
young state there are two and sometimes three short ribs between each of the longer
ones. ‘The volutions of the spire are irregular and embracing, forming a contracted um-
bilicus in the young state; subsequently the volutions are less contracted, which renders
the shell unsymmetrical or deformed. ‘The back is rounded, the mouth much contracted
and prolonged in the middle part. The septa are very much complicated.

In England this Ammonite is very rare. ‘The aged example figured is seven inches in

diameter, the aperture having a height and breadth of two inches; its more advanced
growth will account for the difference of figure when compared with those of D’Orbigny,
Quenstedt, and of Kudernatsch; but in truth, the variability of figure extends not less
to individuals than to the stages of growth, for in no instance does there appear to be a
very near agreement of figure.

Geological Position and Localities. The sole specimen in my collection is from the
Great Oolite, near Tiltups Inn, two miles south of Nailsworth; another specimen,
apparently from the same locality, is in the collection of my friend, Dr. Wright, ef Chelten-
ham. ‘The foreign localities are St. Maixent, Deux-Sévres; Masigny, Vendee; Nantua,
Ain; Vezelay, Yonne; Wohnkammer, Swinitza.

Testa discoidea, angusto umbilicato, dorse angusto acute carinatis, lateribus externe,
valde compressis, levigatis; apertura sagitteformi. Aitaté juniori lateribus costis dis-
tantibus flexuosis.

Shell discoidal, with a narrow and deep umbilical cavity, the back acutely keeled; the
sides of the volutions near to the back are much flattened and smooth; the aperture is
sagittate, the margin of the umbilicus is rounded. In the young state, when the diameter
does not exceed three inches, the sides are ornamented with regular distant, depressed,
flexuose costz.

The lobes are comparatively simple, with few ramifications, and have but little depth;
the saddles are in a corresponding manner but little produced; they therefore differ
altogether from the septa of 4. discus, D’Orbigny, and from the A. svb-discus, of the same
author; they are, however, more complicated than is seen in 4. discus, Quenst.
(‘CEPHALOPODEN,’ tab. vii, fig. 13); 4. Stavffensis, Oppell, from the inferior Oolite of
Boll, Balinger, &c. They also differ from the description given by Roemer (‘ Nord.
Ool.,’ p. 190) of an Ammonite attributed by him to 4. discus, Sow., from the lower Coral
Rag of Heersum.

The general figure is less discoidal than 4A. Waterhouse, Mov. and Lyc. (A. discus,
D’Orb.); it differs also from that species by the absence of the flattening upon the inner
portion of the sides of the volutions. From 4. swb-discus, D’Orb., the general figure
differs in the more acute back and in the smaller umbilicus.

The specimen figured in the ‘ Mineral Conchology,’ is an adult shell, and smooth ; the fine
specimen selected for our illustration exhibits the septa, and also some traces of the
falciform costee proper to the young shell. Iam obliged to Mr. Woodward, of the British

Museum, for information respecting it, and also for a careful drawing which exhibits its
paleontological features ; the specimen was obtained in the Bradford Clay of the Tetbury
Road Railway Station, near Cirencester, by Professor Coleman, of the Royal Agricultural
College.

Geological Positions and Localities. It has occurred at several localities in the Corn-
brash, as at Wollaston, Chippenham, Trowbridge, and in Bedfordshire, but it is every-
where rare; to these positions must be added the single specimen above alluded to from
the Bradford Clay, and another, in the British Museum, from the slate of Stonesfield.

GASTEROPODA.
BracnytREMA varicosa, Lyc. Tab. XLIV, fig. 27.

Testa parva ovata, gibbosa, spira anfractibus 5 subplanis, costis transversalibus et longi-
tudinalibus inequalibus cruciatis ; granulatis, granulis magnis, depressis, ultimo anfractu
varicibus irregularibus duobus ; apertura sinuosa, columella arcuata, canali breviusculo.

Shell small, ovate, gibbose ; spire elevated, obtuse, consisting of five, flattened volutions,
with well-marked sutural depressions; encircling coste five, of which the first and last
are large, forming elevated bands, the three intermediate coste being smaller, irregular,
and unequal; they are decussated by very irregular, granulated, straight costa, which
occasionally form large varices, of which the last volution has two; these impart a distorted
aspect to the lower part of the shell; the aperture is rather narrow and sinuated, the
columella much curved, the canal short, the notch narrow and deep; the outer lip is
thickened, but imperfect.

A short, ovate shell, with strongly marked and very irregular ornamentation; the
varices are prominent only upon the two latter volutions; the straight coste are very
irregular, sometimes crowded, but occasionally very distantly arranged; the basal canal is
unusually short, and curved forwards ; the lips are without denticulations.

Geological Position and Locality. The Great Oolite of Minchinhampton Common ; very
rare, two specimens.

Bracuytrema BuccinoieEa, Lye. Tab. XLIV, fig. 17.

Testa turriculata, ovali ventricosa, anfractibus 5—4 convevis, suturis valde impressis,
longitudinaliter costatis, costis 14—16 rectis, transversim finissime lineatis, anfractu ultimo
magno, rotundo, bast attenuato, canali brevi, obliquo ; apertura superne et inferne constricto.

Shell turreted, ovately ventricose, volutions 5—4, convex, the sutures deeply impressed,
longitudinally costated ; the costee, from 14 to 16 in a volution, are perpendicular, and not
very strongly defined; they are decussated by fine, encircling lines; the last volution is

large, rounded, attenuated at the base; the canal is short and oblique; the aperture is
much contracted at the two extremities.

Pourpuromea insienis, Lyc. Tab. XXXI, fig. 2, 2a.

PURPUROIDEA INSIGNIS, Lye. Cotteswold Hills Handbook, &c., pl. 7, fig. 8, a, 6.

Testa turbinata, ovata, inflata, spira exserta, anfractibus 5 subangulatis, tuberculis
depressis (9 in ambitu), anfractu ultimo magno inflato, plerumque sine tuberculis ; apertura
magna ovata, canali leviter excavato

Shell turbinated, ovate, inflated; spire half the length of the aperture; volutions (5)
slightly angulated and flattened upon their upper surfaces, with nine small, depressed
tubercles upon each volution ; the last volution large, ventricose, rounded, the latter half
of the circumference being destitute of tubercles, and having only oblique folds of growth;
aperture ovate, columella with an umbilical groove; the basal notch is only slightly
defined, the junction of the columellar and outer lips forming a gentle curvature. The
shorter, angular spire, depressed tubercles, and ventricose figure of the last volution, serve
to distinguish it from P. xodulata, the species to which it is most nearly allied. The
expanded base, wide, shallow, or obsolete notch, and rounded columella, so constant in all
the species of Purpuroidea, appear to me to justify a generic separation from the recent
Purpura, to which they have been reunited by some French paleontologists of eminence.
The genus Purpurina of D’Orbigny, exemplified by his type P. Bellona, is separated
from Purpuroidea both by the figure of the aperture and by his description, in which the
contracted basal canal is insisted upon; other so-called examples of Purpurina, in the
‘Paléontologie Frangaise,’ as Ornata, Bianor, Biva, and Bathis, have, together with a
thin shell, a lengthened, subulate figure and an entire aperture ; these should be placed with
the Littorinidze, and should range by the side of Améerleya, figured and described in the
first part of this monograph. I am inclined to claim for Amderleya a more important
position than that of a sub-genus.

The Great Oolite species of Purpuroidea have, however, been merged by Professor
Morris (‘ Catalogue’) and by Dr. Oppel (‘ Juraformation’) with Purpurina.

Geological Position and Locality. The Great Oolite of Minchinhampton Common,
associated with other species of the same genus.

Crritu1um Batnonicum, Zyc. ‘Tab. XLIV, fig. 19.

Testa parva subconica, apice obtuso, anfractibis latis, paucis, pldanis ; costis (7) rectis
magnis, oblusis, striisque cingendis ; apertura parva, cauda brevt.
Shell small, somewhat conical; apex obtuse ; volutions wide, few, flattened ; costae (7)

straight, large, obtuse, encircled with regular striations ; sutures of the volutions distinctly
marked.

The costze form straight, rounded elevations, which pass the whole length of the spire,
and are only slightly interrupted by the sutures, the height of each volution being equal
to about two thirds of its opposite measurement. It appears to be rare.

Length three lines, breadth half the length. .

Testa minima, elongato-turrita, acuta, anfractibus rotundatis, transversim striatis, longi-
tudinaliter costatis, costis rectis, basi obliqua, transverse striata, apertura subrotunda,
columella marginata, canali nullo. (Deslongchamps.)

Shell minute, elongated, turreted, acute; volutions (8) slightly convex, wide, trans-
versely striated and longitudinally costated ; cost about 8 in a volution, perpendicular
and obtuse; the sutures are deeply impressed, the aperture is oblique and rounded ;
there is no basal canal. .

The costa, which are large and elevated, are slightly knotted where they are crossed
by three encircling lines in each volution ; our specimen is imperfect at the base.

CrRITHIUM MULTIFORME, Piette. Bull. Soc. Géol. Fr., 2 ser., t. 14, pl. 5, p. 553.

Testa parva elongato conica, anfractibus (9—10) angustis, eonvexis, suturis valde in-
pressis, costis subobliquis (10 ad 12 in ambitu), magnis, lineis cingendis (5) equalibus ;
anfractu ultimo ad basin lineato, cauda brevi.

Shell small, elongated, conical; volutions (9—10) narrow, convex, the sutures deeply
impressed ; cost large, from 10 to 12 in a volution, longitudinal, but slightly oblique,
and knotted by five rows of regular encircling lines, the last volution has encircling lines
at the base; the canal is short.

The tumid, narrow volutions, large cost, and deep sutures, afford strong distinctive cha-
racters, the height of each volution being only slightly greater than a third of its opposite
measurement. The specimens figured by M. Piette vary much in the elevation of the spire,
and consequently in the breadth of the volutions; the number of costze likewise differ,

CERITHIUM? STRANGULATUM, Archiac. Tab. XLIV, fig. 2.

A shorter and less cylindrical variety of this species was figured in the first part of the
‘Great Oolite? Monograph, plate ix, fig. 18. ‘The present specimen, which agrees more
nearly with the example figured by D’Archiac, has seven longitudinal coste, which are
conspicuous ever to the base ; the contracted, pupzform aperture, with its prominent lips, is
alike in both varieties.

Cerithium strangulatum, C. Bulimoides, C. spiculum, and C. exigua, belong to a small
group of minute, subcylindrical shells, with prominent, longitudinal cost, and small,
thickened, orbicular apertures, which have been referred to Cerithium and to Rissoa ;
perhaps eventually it may be deemed proper to separate them under a new generic
appellation.

Geological Position and Locality. The Great Oolite of Minchinhampton Common ;
rare.

elliptica, obliqua, columella marginata ; labro sinistro fissuram umbilicatem obtigente.

Var. a, testa breviori, costis et striis crassioribus, rariorisque. (Deslongchamps.)

Shell minute, turreted; volutions flattened, transversely striated, crenulated near to
the sutures, and longitudinally costated; aperture elliptical, oblique.

Our example constitutes a small and short variety, with narrow volutions (about 8) ; the
coste are large, straight, and from 7 to 8 in a volution; they are most conspicuous near
to their upper extremities, which project, forming a kind of coronary border immediately
beneath the suture. Another minute specimen, apparently belonging to the same variety,
has the first three volutions almost plain, and the costa upon the succeeding volutions are
but little prominent.

The typical form of the species figured by M. Deslongchamps has the coste much
more numerous and less prominent.

Shell small, ovately conical; spire consisting of six flattened or slightly convex, narrow
volutions, the sutures being strongly marked ; longitudinal coste elevated, narrow, per-
pendicular, 8 to 9 in a volution; aperture small, suborbicular, outer lip simple.

A minute lenticular shell, with about eight and a half costal spaces to a volution, the
height of each volution being equal to the half of its transverse diameter; the apex is
slightly obtuse, and the last volution is somewhat contracted.

ovata, canali nullo.

Shell minute, ovately elongated subcylindrical; volutions (6) wide, rather flattened,
transversely striated, and longitudinally costated ; costae straight, six im a volution ; the last
volution is nearly cylindrical; the aperture is small, ovate; there is no canal.

The costz, which have little prominence, appear to stretch continuously ; the length of
the shell only slightly interrupted by the sutures, which are not strongly marked ; the aper-
ture is pupzeform ; the general figure approximates to C. strangul/atum, but more lengthened,
and with higher volutions.

Geological Position and Locality. The Great Oolite of Minchinhampton.

Shell minute, conical, elongated ; volutions (6) narrow, flattened, transversely striated,
and longitudinally costated ; but the cost are limited to the two or three latter volutions,
they are closely arranged, little elevated, and about eighteen in a volution; the aperture is
depressed, oblique, and ovate.

Shell minute, subcylindrical, lengthened; volutions (5—6) high, rather convex, the
sutures depressed and strongly defined ; costee (about 15 to a volution) depressed, distinct
at the upper and vanishing towards the lower part of each volution; the aperture is of
moderate size, ovate, the lips rather thickened.

The breadth of each volution is about one third more than its height; the coste are
only faintly marked; there are no traces of encircling striations or tubercles.

Shell small, thick, elongately turreted; volutions 8, convex, the sutures deeply im-
pressed ; transverse coste about 12 to each volution, oblique, large, decussated, and
rendered nodulous by six narrow encircling lines; aperture ovate, rather contracted; no
canal.

Allied to Cerithium costellatum, Desh., from which it differs in having fewer volutions,

GASTEROPODA. 11

hineis subnodulosis irregularibus, inequalibus (9-10) cingendis ; apertura obliqua, columella
uno plicato,

Shell elongated, turreted ; volutions numerous (about twenty), narrow, flattened, but
slightly contracted towards the base of each volution, and encircled with numerous (nine
or ten) irregular, unequal, slightly nodulous lines; the aperture is small, subquadrate, and
oblique, the columellar lip has a single strong plication.

The volutions are narrow, so that their height is little more than the half of their
opposite diameters ; the upper border of each is rendered prominent by the slight contrac-
tion towards the base of each volution; the single strong fold upon the pillar lip, and a
trace of another mesial fold upon the outer lip, is all that can be ascertained from the
single specimen at our disposal, which is also the type figured by Professor Phillips.
Sixteen volutions are preserved, but probably four more would be required to render the
spire perfect. Nerina fasciata, Voltz, approaches this species nearly, both in the general
figure and in the ornamentation; judging, however, from specimens obtained in the Coral Rag
of Yorkshire, the latter has the encircling lines more regularly disposed, and more constantly
and regularly nodulous ; the spiral angle also appears to be somewhat greater: it is there-
fore preferable to regard them as distinct species. The length of the imperfect specimen
above referred to is an inch and a half, to which should be added two lines to perfect the
spire ; the transverse diameter of the last volution is three lines.

Geological Position and Locality. The sole example in the Scarborough Museum was
obtained in the Cornbrash of that locality.

CERITELLA MINUTISSIMA, Zyc. Tab. XLV, fig. 5.

Testa minuta, elongata, spira anfractibus (4) elevatis, subplanis ; aperura ovato-elongata ;
columella contorta.

Shell minute, elongated ; spire with the volutions elevated, smooth, and flattened ; the
last volution is large, moderately convex, attenuated towards the base; the aperture is of
moderate dimensions, ovately elongated ; the columella is contorted at the base, as is usual
in the genus.

The length of the aperture slightly exceeds one third that of the entire shell. It is
allied to some of the varieties of Ceritella parvula (Acteonina), but is more subulate ; it
also approaches to Zudifer Gerandoseus, Piette, but is less attenuated than the latter
shell.

Geological Position and Locality. Obtained, both by Mr. Witchell and myself, in the
Great Oolite of Minchinhampton.

IT avail myself of the opportunity of giving another figure of this pretty species of
Ceritella, as the magnified figure in Plate IX does not sufficiently exhibit the neatness and
angularity of the volutions of the spire. M. EH. Piette, in a memoir entitled “ Deserip-
tion des Ceritheum enfouis dans les dépdts bathoniens de |’Aisne et des Ardennes,” pub-
lished in the work above quoted, rejects the claim of Ceritella to be regarded as a new genus ;
but figures the present and also another Minchinhampton species of Ceritella as examples of
his proposed new genus Tubifer, under the names of Tubifer plicatus and Tubifer Acteontfor-
mis. It isa satisfaction to discover this singular and unwitting testimony to the correctness of
our appreciation of this generic form.

In the Atlas to the ‘ Palaeontology of the Mense,’ page 32, M. Buvignier shows that we
were mistaken in supposing that our little Ceritella is the Plewrotoma rissoides of that author's
memoir above quoted, and which he subsequently assigned to his proposed new genus
Orthostoma; i this instance, also, our genus Cervtel/a has the priority.

In this, as in the last species, the indifferent figures in the earlier memoir of M.

the specific name proposed by that gentleman in his ‘ Palseontology of the Meuse’ is here

Shell ovate, subglobose, smooth ; volutions (6) very convex, the sutures deeply impressed;
the spire is elevated, acute, the last volution being very large; the aperture is ovate,
oblique, the anterior side rounded, the posterior side acute, the length exceeding a moiety of
that of the entire shell; the columella is rounded, thickened, and there is no umbilicus.

Allied to WV. cntermedia, Tab. VI, fig. 1, but with a more elevated acute spire, more
deeply depressed sutures, and a more globose ultimate volution ; specimens vary somewhat
in the figure of the last volution, but the acute, elevated, deeply sutured spire will always
serve to distinguish it.

Geological Positions and Localities. J have obtained it in the Great Oolite of
Minechinhampton, and in the Inferior Oolite of the same locality ; Mr. Whiteaves has also
kindly forwarded to me a specimen from the Great Oolite of Kirklmgton, Oxon; the latter,
which is a young form, has the last volution slightly more globose than in the other
examples.

Shell small, smooth, elongated, apex acute; volutions (about ten) narrow, their sides
flattened, the sutures distinct but not constricted ; the aperture is obliquely orbicular ; there
is no umbilicus.

The height of each volution slightly exceeds the half of the opposite diameter; length,
nine lines; diameter of the last volution, three lines.

Compared with Lima ? communis, the spire is more acute, the volutions more flattened,
and the sutures are less deeply impressed.

Testa crassa, turrita, elongata, apice acuto, anfractibus (circa 10) latis, in medio sub-
depressis, ad suturas elatis, carinis duobus instructis, suturis valde depressis ; apertura,
ovata bast angustata.

Shell thick, smooth, turreted, elongated, apex acute; volutions (about 10) wide, rather
depressed in their middle parts, elevated both above and beneath near to the sutures,
forming two narrow, equal, cord-like carinze ; the sutures are deeply impressed ; the aper-
ture is ovate, rather small and contracted towards the base, where the extremity of the
columella is conspicuous ; the last volution is rendered somewhat angulated by the promi-
nence of both the encircling carine ; the surface is shining, with large plications of growth ;
a magnifier also discloses delicate, nearly regular, distantly arranged, encircling, granu
lated lines (about 20 to a volution), or when the surface has been slightly abraded, they
appear as punctated striations.

Length, 43 inches; transverse diameter of the last volution, 1 inch; the height of each
volution is equal to 3-5ths of its transverse diameter.

The general figure is that of a lengthened cone, and the outline does not exhibit that
step-like figure seen in some other allied species, as in Chemnitzia turris (Desl.), C. coare-
tata (Desl.), and C. condensata (Desl.). The two narrow and equally elevated cord-like
cinctures which bound each yolution, together with the somewhat angular figure of the last
volution, separates it from the foregoing and all other known examples of the genus;
perhaps the encircling granulated lines may also constitute a good distinctive character
but it can only be discovered in very well preserved specimens. A Chemunitzia, in the
Inferior Oolite of the Cotteswolds and of the south-western counties, which does not
appear to have been figured or described, approaches near to C. vittata, and has sometimes
been regarded as identical with it; there can, however, be no difficulty im separating
specimens of the two forms, when they are well preserved. The Inferior Oolite shell is
somewhat less conical, or more subulate ; the sides of the volutions are more flattened ; the
upper cincture is rounded and distinct, but comparatively small; the lower cincture is
angulated, and not cord-like ; the last volution is destitute of the prominent lower cincture,
which imparts an angularity to that part in the Cornbrash shell; the general figure of that
volution is more lengthened and pyriform, so that the base of the aperture is wider and
more produced. The Inferior Oolite shell also does not exhibit any trace of the encircling
granulated lines; but possibly the test has not been preserved with sufficient delicacy to

GASTEROPODA. 15

exhibit this feature, even if it originally existed; the plications of growth are also very
large, so that in the latter volutions they render the carine distinctly nodulous ; in
C. vittata the carine are but slightly modified by this cause.

D’Orbigny, ‘Prodrome,’ has suggested that Merinea suprajurensis, D’Archiac, may
be C. vittata ; but, judging from the figure of D’Archiac, WV. swprajurensis is more slender,
with the volutions much more numerous and more narrow, the sutures are also desti-
tute of that deeply indented figure which is so conspicuous in our Cornbrash shell.
The general resemblance which C. vittata bears to some examples of the genus Nerinza
has led me to make a longitudinal section of it, and thus to ascertain with certainty that
it cannot be assigned to that genus,

Geological Position and Locality. ‘The Cornbrash of Scarborough and Gristhorp ; it is

Kinvertia, Gen. Nov.

The views expressed on Cerithium strangulatum, p. 8, suggesting the propriety of
erecting a new genus for the reception of that and other allied forms, have subsequently
been strengthened by the examination of well-preserved specimens from the Forest
Marble of Somerset and Wilts, in the collection of W. Walton, Esq., of Bath. I have
now, therefore, no hesitation m proposing for these the new generic appellation Kilvertia,
which will be found described in the Addenda.

The height of each volution is about equal to half its opposite measurement, the first
encircling line beneath the suture is rather more prominent than the others; altogether
there are six; their size and distances correspond nearly with the lines by which they are
decussated ; the aperture is imperfect at the outer lip, there is no umbilical chink.

Genus—Fipuua, Piette, 1857.

Description des Cerithium enfonis dans les dépéts bathoniens de |’Aine et des Ardennes, par M. Ed.
Piette, ‘ Bull. de la Soc. Géol. de France,’ 20 Avril, 1857.

M. Piette has founded his proposed genus upon a small group of lengthened spiral
univalves which possess characters intermediate and approximating them to Turritella and
to Cerithium. A rounded, straight columella, with a rudimentary umbilical groove near
the base, is combined with an arcuated outer lip slightly notched posteriorly at the suture ;
the base of the aperture forms a slight canal at its junction with the anterior extremity of
the columella, or in other instances there is no canal, the base being rounded and entire,
depending upon the exact period of growth at which the animal perished; the surface of
the volutions is plain, or slightly ornamented with oblique coste. The author has figured
and described several species, and has characterised his genus in the following terms :—* Le
principal charactére du ce genre est d’avoir une columella droite. Le bord libre est arqué,
légérement échancré a sa partie posterieure, pres de la suture. L’ombilic n’est souvent
que rudimentaire, a peine indiqué, et affectant seulement la columelle externe. D/autres-
fois, il pénctre tout le spire. Un caractére trés curieux que j’ai remarqué sur plusieurs
especes de ce genre, mais que je n’ai pu encore constater sur toutes, c’est que la columelle
se termine parfois interieurement par un canal rudimentaire; que le mollusque forme ce
canal et le rebouche tour a tour, pour le former ensuite de nouveau en grandissant.

Ainsi il arrive souvent que parmi plusieurs /i4u/a dune méme espece, les
unes semblent se rapprocher des Cerithium, les autres des Turritelles. Cela dépend du
moment ou elles ont péri.”

In admitting the generic value of Fibula, it becomes necessary to arrange with it the
following Jurassic Testacea :—Chemnitzia phasianoides (Mor. and Lyc.), Cerithium Rotssit
(Mor. and Lyc.), Zurritella Roissii (D’Arch.), and Cerithium suturale (Buvignier). The
Great Oolite of Oxfordshire and of Minchinhampton has supplied the two following
additional species. :

Fisuna variata, Lyc. Tab. XXXL, figs. 4, 4a.

Testa turriculata, subventricosa ; spira elongata, acuta, leve, anfractibus (11—12) con-
veaviusculis, angustis, suturis valde impressis ; ultimo anfractu symmetrico-curvato ; columella
interdum ad basin subcanaliculato, aut integro, labro sinistro arcuato.

Shell turriculated, somewhat inflated; spire lengthened, acute, smooth, consisting of
11 or 12 narrow, somewhat convex volutions, with deeply impressed sutures; the last
yolution is conformable with the others, and. is symmetrically curved towards its anterior

GASTEROPODA. 17

extremity ; the aperture is oblique, contracted at the base, sometimes slightly channelled,
in other instances entire and rounded; the outer lip is much curved and thin. Young
specimens are less subulate, but the apex is delicately pointed, the volutions are more flat-
tened and narrow, the sutures being less strongly marked; the latter two or three volu-
tions in adult specimens are more inflated, and they acquire at the base a rudimentary
umbilical groove.

It is nearly allied to Mula nudiformis, Piette (« Bull. de la Soc. Géol. Fr.,’ 1857,
pl. 6, figs. 4, 5), from the Great Oolite of Rumigny, Eparcy, Poix, But, &.; but, judging
from the figures of M. Piette, his species has a shorter spire, with less strongly impressed
sutures, and the last two volutions are more lengthened and cylindrical. Fibula
Chemnitzia phasianoides, which has the spine similarly subulate, has the volutions more
flattened, and the sutures much less impressed; other recognised species are more
lengthened, with flattened volutions.

Geological Position and Localities. Fibula variata has occurred rarely in the Great
Oolite of Minchinhampton, and more commonly in the same formation at Kirklington,
Oxon., from which place Mr. Whiteaves has kindly forwarded specimens. Examples are
deposited in the British Museum, the Woodwardian Museum, Cambridge, in the collection
of Mr. Whiteaves, of Oxford, and in that of the author at Scarborough.

superne vitta cingenda, suturis valde constrictis, ultimo anfractu rotundo ; apertura obliqua,
bast angusté subsinuato, columella umbilico rudimento ; labro externo arcuato ; anfractibus
costis obliquis obscuris irregularibus.

Shell turreted, elongated, acute ; spire with about 12 volutions, narrow, convex towards
their lower parts, and encircled with a narrow band at their upper borders; the sutures
are deeply impressed; the last volution moderately large and rounded; the aperture is
lengthened, oblique, narrow, and sinuated at the base; there is also a rudimentary um-
bilical groove; the outer lip is much arched; the surface has irregular, oblique, obscure
coste, which resemble lines of growth in the latter volutions.

Compared with /éula variata, this species is more subulate, with a shorter last volu-
tion; the encircling band upon the upper border of each volution, the oblique coste, and
the convexity of the lower part of each volution, are also distinguishing features. //du/a
undulosa, Piette, is more nearly allied to it, but the volutions are less narrow and more
flattened or destitute of the swelling of the lower portions of the volutions which is a
conspicuous feature in /. ewlimoides. The height of each volution is equal to half of its

opposite diameter.

extus tncrassato.

Shell elongately turreted ; volutions 6, wide, convex, angulated at their middle part,
and encircled with a slender band at the mesial angle; the longitudinal little ribs are very
closely arranged; they are smooth, narrow, perpendicular, and are united to the mesial
band; from 26 to 28 in a volution ; the last volution is conformable with the others, both
in figure and ornamentation; the aperture is of moderate size, it is oblique, ovate, but
rather pointed at the two extremities ; the columella is curved in its middle; the outer lip
is thickened.

The angulated figure approximates to Rissoina duplicata, Sow., sp., ‘Gr. Ool. Mon.,’
i, p. 52); but the last volution is somewhat less expanded, the cost upon the spire are
less conspicuous, and nearly three times as numerous. Mr. Witchell, who discovered the
species, has kindly communicated several specimens which agree with each other in all
essential particulars.

AMBERLEYA NoposA, Tab. XLI, fig. 3; et Part 1, Pl. V, fig. 19, 1850.

This elegant shell was represented in so defective a manner at Plate V, fig. 19, as to
render it desirable to give the present illustration, in which the aperture faces the spectator
more directly. The examination of additional-specimens has tended to confirm the views
expressed in my manuscript of 1850, viz., that Amderleya should rank as a distinct genus
of the Littorinide, separated from Littorina by the thin test, lengthened, almost turricu-
lated, spire, and scarcely less so by the ornamentation of the volutions. Other examples
of Amberleya will be found in 4. Jurassi, Lyc. (the next species here described), Zurbo
capitaneus, Munst., Turbo ornatus, Sow., and some other allied Inferior Oolite species
which have been figured by D’Orbigny as examples of Purpurina, but which are well
distinguished from the type form of that genus (see the observations on Purpuroidea
insignis). The generic appellation Amber/eya was derived from Amberley Heath, which
is a second name for Minchinhampton Common.’

Deslongchamps with a copy of his memoir, extracted from the fifth volume of the ‘ Bulletin of the Linnean

Terrains Jurassiques places par U auteur de la ‘ Paléontologie Fracaise’ duns les genres Purpurina. Trochus
et Turbo. Note sur le genre Eucyclus.” The latter proposed new genus is identical with our Améerleya,
quoted in the memoir as Adberleya. The author has in this little work given an excellent critical analysis of
the group of which he has proposed to constitute Hucyclus; these are Purpurina Patroclus, D’Orb.,
P. Philiasus, D’Orb., P. ornata, D’Orb., P. bathis, D’Orb., Turbo Itys, D’Orb., T. niceus, D’Orb., T.

scribed the following new species—Eucyclus obeliscus and E. papyraceus, from the Upper Lias; £. pinguis
and E. goniatus, from the Inferior Oolite; the latter shell, in its general figure and plan of ornamentation
has a considerable resemblance to Amberleya nodosa. Eucyclus is therefore a synonym of Améerleya.

Shell conical ; spire elevated, pointed ; volutions (5) convex, somewhat angulated, with
four encircling coste or carinee, which are densely and delicately tuberculated, and
decussated by fine striations, the two lower cost being much larger than the upper, so
that the lowest costa overhangs the upper part of the next volution; the base has five
encircling, serrated coste ; there is no umbilicus.

Height 10 lines, length of the last volution 8 lines.

The encircling carinz occupy nearly the entire height of each volution, leaving only
narrow, deep, interstitial spaces ; the lowest of the carinz is the largest. ‘The general
figure approaches to Zwrbo capitaneus, Goldf., but the latter has the encircling carinze much
more elevated, narrow, more widely separated, and less numerous. Zurbo Phillipsi, Mor.
and Lyc., has a much shorter spire, with the volutions less ventricose or angulated ; other
species are more remotely allied.

Shell oblique, ovate, smooth ; spire (apparently consisting of two volutions) small,
depressed, nearly concealed by the envelopment of the last volution, which is much inflated
at the aperture ; inner lip convex, smooth.

A plain species, distinguished by the great length and volume of the last volution; the
apex of the spire is imperfect, but though quite depressed, probably it is not altogether
concealed ; the general figure is allied to Meritina Staffensis, Forbes, but the latter is
more lengthened and more minute.

fig. 8.

Testa elongata, subylindricd ; spird magna, acuta; anfractibus (8) convewis ; suturis
profunde impressis ; anfratu ultimo ovato ; apertura angustata.

Shell elongated, ovately cylindrical ; spire lengthened, its apex acute; volutions (8 in
the adult state) convex, their sutures deeply impressed, the last volution ovately cylindrical ;
aperture narrow.

The general figure somewhat resembles C. a/tus, but the volutions are more numerous,
and are not flattened, as in that shell; the subovate figure and elevated spire readily distin-
guishes it from other contemporaneous species. The length of the aperture is equal to
three fifths of the entire shell.

Shell small, ovate, spire elevated, volutions (4) rather flattened upon the sides and ele-
vated, their superior borders forming a sharply defined angle ; above the angle is a flattened
sutural area, the last volution has regular, delicate, encircling striations; the aperture is
moderately large, ovate ; the posterior extremity narrow; its length is more than half the
height of the shell.

A minute but well-marked species, with a spire larger, more lengthened, more angulated
and more pyramidal than Auricu/a Sedgvici, Phil.; it is more nearly allied to Zornatella
Aviothensis, Buv., ‘ Pal., Mense,’ pl. xxiii, figs. 32, 33; and to Zornatella pulla, Kock and

elliptia, columella recta, uniplicatéa.

Shell small, ovately elongated, nearly smooth; spire elevated, turreted ; volutions 5,
convex above, the sides flattened, and the sutures strongly defined; the last volution
slightly exceeds half the entire length of the shell; itis ovate, its base having some delicate,
regular spiral striations ; the aperture is elliptical, the columella straight, having a single
plication.

Possibly the entire surface may have had striations still more delicate than those at the
base, but no traces of them remain ; the spire is larger, and the volutions are more inflated,
than is usually seen in this genus.

AcTEONINA BREVIS. ‘Tab. XLI, fig. 6.

Under the title of Cy/indrites brevis, an immature and imperfect example was figured
in the first part of the ‘Great Oolite,’ Monograph. ‘Tab. VIII, figs. 13, 13, a; the fine
example now figured was collected by Mr. Whiteaves in the Great Oolite of Kirklington,
Oxon., and exhibits in the more advanced stage of growth a change in the last volution,
whose upper margin rises higher than those of the preceding volutions, thus rendering the
vertex slightly concave, a change with which recent conchology presents many analogous
instances. ‘The figure of the columella leaves no doubt that it is an Acteonina.

somewhat shorter. It is nearly allied to Bulla? primeva, Deslongchamps, ‘ Mém. Soc.
Linn. de Normand.’ t. 7., pl. x, figs, 23, 24; the latter is a larger shell, with the spire less
exposed, and the aperture at the base much less lengthened and less pointed ; it is there-
fore probably distinct. The elongation of the anterior part of the aperture appears also to
separate it from Acteonina convoluta, Lyc., ‘ Cotteswold Hills,’ p. 125, the left-hand figure,
pl. iv. As three specimens of each form of different states of growth have been examined,
we may rely upon the persistence of this distinctive feature.

Shell subcylindrical, smooth, or ovate ; spire elevated, obtuse, consisting of 7 narrow yolu-
tions, which have their sides flattened, their upper borders being rounded and deeply
channeled ; the last volution is nearly cylindrical, the aperture is not exposed, and the base

The characters of the spire, with its numerous narrow-channeled volutions, without
angularity, appears to be sufficient to distinguish the species.

Shell ovately ventricose, smooth ; spire short, obtuse, consisting of four narrow, convex
volutions ; the last volution has the sides slightly convex, its upper margin rounded and
slightly channeled at the suture ; the aperture is narrow, somewhat expanded at the base,
which is marginated at its junction with the columella.

Shell small, subcylindrical; spire short, but elevated and acute, consisting of four
narrow volutions, which are flattened upon their sides, their upper borders are acute, their
upper areas are flattened ; the aperture is moderately large and lengthened, its base is
elliptically curved.

The length is 3 lines, the opposite diameter but little exceeds 1 line.

The upper angle of each volution is acute, and even slightly projects outwards, a
character which is not seen in any other known species with an elevated spire. Possibly
this is the young condition of a much larger species.

Testa crassa, tereti, subarcuata, sepius nitida, striis tenuissimis densissimis paululim
obliquis ornata. (Deslongchamps.)

Shell thick, tubular, round, smooth, shining, slightly curved ; encircled with striations,
which are somewhat oblique and strongly impressed towards the posterior or smaller
extremity, anteriorly they are more faintly and densely arranged and ultimately disappear,
the surface having some irregular annular folds of growth. Length of an imperfect Corn-
brash specimen 24 lines, the larger diameter 2: lines. 'The Calcareous Grit examples have
larger dimensions, they are of more advanced growth, and have the greater portion of their
cylinder devoid of striations.

The Cornbrash imperfect specimens are less slender and more straight than the figures
of D. Parkinsoni given by Professor Quenstedt, and more nearly accord with those of

__ D. entaloides, Deslongchamps; but the specimens figured by Quenstedt differ also from

each other in their attenuation and curvature. Dentalium cinctum, Goldfuss, has encircling
striations, without obliquity; D. wxdulatum of the same author has the figure some-
what compressed ; D. tenue, Goldf., is more slender and more nearly cylindrical.

Geological Position and Locality. Dentalium entaloides appears to have a considerable
geological range; the Cornbrash of Scarborough has produced a few specimens; Mr.
Leckenby has also obtained it in the Keliloway Rock and the Calcareous grit of the same
locality. D. entaloides was obtained by M. Deslongchamps in the Inferior Oolite of
Moutiers and Bayeaux; by Dr. Oppel in the beds with Ammonites Parkinsoni at Mont
d’Or, near Lyons; in Swabia it occurs at the upper boundary of the Lower Oolite (Braun
Jura e. Quenst.) at Ehningen and Balingen.

Testa, valva majora convexa, subobliqua, ovato rotundata, apice submarginali, acuta,
lamellis concentricis, irregularibis, superne levigata, inferne lineis radiantibus subequalibus
nodulosis ornata. Valva afixa wgnota.

Shell with the larger valve ovate, slightly oblique, convex; the apex pointed, and
placed near to the margin; the surface has numerous irregular, concentric lamelle ; the
lower portion has numerous radiating lines, which are nearly equal, granulated, and
undulated. The attached valve has not been obtained.

The test appears to be less delicate than is found in some other examples of the genus,
and is usually affixed to another shell, more especially to Zerebratula lagenalis, so that it
is scarcely possible to obtain a specimen whose figure has not been affected by some
extraneous body. The general aspect has much resemblance to P/acunopsis Jurensis
((Gr. Ool. Monog. Biv.,’ tab. i, fig. 13), but the latter has the ornamentation of the
surface much more strongly defined, with larger and more densely arranged radiating lines.
In P. semistriatus these can only be discerned with a magnifier.

Geological Position and Locality. The Cornbrash of the Yorkshire Coast, at Gris-
thorpe and Scarborough, where it is moderately rare. The upper portion of the
Inferior Oolite in the Cotteswold Hills has a species probably identical with this Pla-
cunopsis, and possessing a similar kind of ornamentation.

A convex, subsequivalve, acute-pointed Pecten, with large, nearly equal auricles; the
surfaces of both the valves having irregular, concentric striations and several large folds of
growth. The right valve has broad, slightly elevated coste (8), which are unequal and
slightly defined towards the posterior side, separated by narrow and but little depressed
sulcations, which are distinct upon the inner surface of the valve; the left valve has eight
narrow, elevated, but rounded cost, of which those upon the sides are small and
unsymmetrical ; the intervening spaces are broad upon the middle of the valve, and very
narrow laterally ; the auricles are obliquely lineated.

Geological Positions and Localities. Rarely in the Cornbrash and Kelloway Rock of
Scarborough, more commonly in the Coralline Oolite of Malton, but it is seldom well
preserved at either of these geological positions; Roemer makes a similar statement

unequal, with acute transverse lamelle; interstitial sulcations wider than the coste,
concave, with delicate transverse striations ; auricles unequal, with radiating ribs crossed by

Shell equivalve, suborbicular, acute, moderately convex ; auricles unequal (the anterior
one being the larger) ; the valves have a few plications of growth, and very densely arranged,
elevated, concentric rugee, which are slightly wrmkled towards the apices, but towards the
middle of the valves become short, regular, scabrous elevations, disposed checker-wise with
those above and beneath, so that when viewed obliquely the ornamentation resembles
that of an engine-turned watch; this is more especially the case with the surface of the
right valve, which has the concentric rugze more delicate and closely arranged, and also
the scabrous elevations ; in other respects the valves are alike in the design of their
ornamentation.

A beautiful suborbicular species ; the minute scabrous elevations arrest the finger when
it is passed upwards over the surface. It is very rare.

concentricis decussata; umbonibus acutis; auriculis inequalibus, transverse costellatis.
(Buvignier. )

Shell orbicular, depressed, large, rugose in the adult state, with slightly defined, irregular,
radiating lines and large, irregular, concentric lamelle ; the umbones are acute, the auricles
are unequal, the posterior auricle with large, rugose, transverse striations ; the surface near
to the umbo has regular, radiating coste, slightly knotted where they are decussated by the
concentric costa, which are nearly regular, and somewhat less closely arranged than those
which radiate.

The foregoing description applies to the right valve; the change which the surface
undergoes in acquiring its adult condition is very striking, and is slightly indicated by the
few last lamelle upon the specimen figured; a very fine example in the Scarborough
Museum, from the Coralline Oolite of Malton, shows that it ultimately acquired the aspect
of Hinnites, thus losing all regularity in its ornamentation, and having very large, irregular,
squamose lamellz ; the left valve has not been obtained.

Pecten retiferus («Gr. Ool. Monogr. Biv.,’ p. 9, tab. i, fig. 15) approaches to it in the
kind of ornamentation, but has the radiating coste larger and more distant, as are also the
concentric lamelle ; the umbones are less acute, and the auricles, which have a different
figure, are more nearly equal. Under the name of Pecten cancellatus, it was inserted by
Mr. Bean in his list of Cornbrash fossils, but without either figure or description. The
splendid work of M. Buvignier on the ‘ Palzontology of the Meuse’ exemplifies an aged
specimen, together with the progressive changes which the ornamentation of the surface
underwent.

Geological Positions and Localities. The specimen figured is from the Cornbrash of
Scarborough ; it occurs also in the Coralline Oolite of Malton ; M. Buvignier has recorded
it in the same formation at St. Mihiel and at Donaument.

ribs, separated by very wide intervals ; the costae have large, squamous plications, rather
irregular, and nearly disappearing as they approach the apex, the coste near to the margins
being the smaller ; the intervals between the costa have five regular, concentric, squamous
plications ; the auricles are nearly equal, they are transversely lamellated. The right
valve is convex, with five radiating sulcations, corresponding to the five costs of the other
valve ; the whole surface of the valve is covered with delicate, regular, concentric, closely
arranged lamella. The interior of the valves present an appearance corresponding with
the ornamentation of the exterior.

Height rather greater than the breadth, and thrice the diameter through both the valves.

surface being occupied by unequal, crowded, nodose costz ; the two large, radiating, nodose,
elevated varices are alike in both species.

‘The specimen figured is the original example, which belonged to Mr. Bean ; it has lost
a portion of the surface near to the lower border, and also a portion of the apex, nor will
it appear remarkable that only a single specimen of a shell so thin and fragile should have
been disengaged from a rock so intractable as the Cornbrash of Yorkshire.

Shell elongated, convex, and contorted anteriorly, straight and attenuated posteriorly ;
umbo very oblique, with a small anterior auricle; hinge-border very oblique, anterior
border undulated; the surface of the valve has five irregular, concentric plications upon
its anterior side. The right valve is twisted conformably with the left valve; it is some-
what concave, ‘The cardinal ligamentary pits have not been exposed in the present variety.
Compared with the Inferior Oolite forms of Gervillia tortuosa, this variety is more
narrow and less contorted, having the posterior extremity nearly straight; the umbo is
also more acute, and the surface is destitute of the large, rugose, concentric plications
which are conspicuous upon well-preserved examples of the typical form. So much
variability, however, is seen in the contorted species of Gervillia that I prefer to regard
the present as pertaining to G. fortwosa, but constituting a well-marked variety.

Testa tenue subquadrata, transversa, inequivalvi, valde inequilatera, valva sinistra

linea cardinali subhorizontali elongato ; latere anteriore truncato, infra umbonem concavo,

Shell thin, subquadrate, transverse, inequivalve. The left valve inflated anteriorly,
with a large, subinvolute, projecting beak, and a steep, truncated and excavated slope
beneath it; the posterior side is very thin, compressed, and expanded ; the hinge-line is
lengthened and nearly horizontal; the base is lengthened and nearly straight. The right
valve is flattened; the umbo is small, pointed, and anterior, The internal hinge-pits are
placed upon a narrow, lengthened plate ; they are small and numerous. ‘The surfaces of
the valves are smooth, with a few irregular, concentric plications.

The diagnosis in the ‘ Mineral Conchology’ is as follows :—“ Quadrilateral, one side
shorter than the other three; valves gibbose, unequal, the shorter side very concave,
bounded by two obtuse carine.”

The figure in the ‘Mineral Conchology’ has the right or smaller valve facing the
spectator ; the contour of the larger or convex valve is not seen ; even the outline is not
perfect, as there seems to be a portion of the lower (right) border wanting, and thus
forming an angle at its anterior extremity, which would be rounded in the perfect shell ;
but the whole is stated by the author to be little better than a cast. With such an

BIVALVIA. 39

illustration it is not surprising to find that in the plates to the ‘Geology of Yorkshire,’
and in the ‘Petrefacta’ of Goldfuss, two very different species of Perna (flattened,
equivalve, and rugose) were figured for the Perna guadrata of Sowerby.

The convexity of the left valve, little remarkable in young specimens, becomes very
considerable with advance of growth; the test upon the anterior side is moderately thick,
but the posterior side is delicate and is rarely preserved entire. Upon the smaller of the
specimens figured the portion denuded of the test exhibits obscure, concentric, and
radiating striations in the convex valve; the same feature is also visible upon the surface
of the cast of the smaller valve figured by Mr. Sowerby; it must therefore have existed
upon the inner surface of the very thin, nacreous layer of the test, which has not been
preserved ; the exterior surface of the test is quite destitute of ornamentation.

Dimensions. Length of our largest specimen, in the direction of the hinge-line,
53 inches; height, 32 inches ; convexity of the larger valve, 24 inches.

Geological Positions and Localities. My. Sowerby’s specimen was obtained in the
Cornbrash at Bulwick, Northamptonshire, and, as far as can be ascertained, no second
example has been obtained from that locality. In the Inferior Oolite of the vicinity of
Nailsworth the present author has procured specimens at several quarries, in a single
bed; its position being the highest bed of the white building-freestone, and imruediately
underlying the bed of hard, cream-coloured limestone with Nerinzas, which appears to be
special to the Nailsworth valley. Perna quadrata does not appear to be very uncommon ;
but owing to the thinness of the fibrous test, it can only be disengaged from the Oolite by
a tedious and difficult process; more frequently, however, the shell is found to have been
crushed or imperfectly preserved at its posterior side.

Lima pectintrormis, Sch/oth. Tab. XXXVI, fig. 1. Part IT, Tab. VI, fig. 9. '

In figuring a larger and more characteristic example of this shell some additional
remarks may be allowed. It is widely diffused, abundant and of large dimensions in the
upper portion of the Inferior Oolite, rare and delicate in the Great Oolite, rare in the
Cornbrash, in the Kelloway Rock and Oxford Clay ; it reappears in considerable numbers
in the Coralline Oolite, assuming all its pristine varieties of form; these are sufficiently
remarkable. In its young condition it was gregarious, and probably was attached by one
of the valves to the ground; such, at least, seems an easy explanation of the fact that the
upper surface of a slab of stone covered with the species usually discloses only the inner
surfaces of single valves, the other valves having probably been removed by marine action
in their dead state; but although young and thin, the specimens in this condition often
attained to the full dimensions of the species, the radiating flutings of the external surface
being almost equally strongly marked upon the inner surfaces, in which state, also, the
muscular scar is not distinguishable, and when the valves are closed the umbones touch
each other. In old specimens, owing to a continual deposition of shell upon the inner

40 SUPPLEMENT TO GREAT OOLITE MOLLUSCA.

surface, more especially towards the umbones, the triangular sub-umbonal area is large
and oblique, so that the umbones then are widely divergent; the internal radiating flutings
have gradually disappeared, or are only visible at the lower border of the valves ; the mus-
cular scar is conspicuous; ultimately, each valve acquired at its umbonal extremity a
thickness of two inches and a half, the cavity of the imterior became much smaller, the
outer surface ceased to be extended at its borders during this internal accretion of shell;
we may also infer, from its solid, ponderous mass, and from the frequency with which it
became perforated by the Lithophagide, that, unlike the common Lime and Pectens, its
habits were sedentary; doubtless these perforations may have been made in dead shells,
but they are not to be discovered in any other of the Jurassic Lime.

The test consists of two very distinct layers; the outer layer is always thin and semi-
transparent, the inner layer is white, opaque, laminated, and received continual additions
to its thickness ; in brief, the structure and mode of growth agrees with that of the genus
Spondylus as fully as does the external aspect of the imbricated rugz and the tubular,
spine-like processes ; it is, in truth, aa equivalve Spondylus, destitute of hinge-teeth. The
variations of figure are also considerable ; sometimes sub-orbicular, with no more obliquity
than a Pecten or Spondylns, with the sides nearly equal, the radiating coste undulating
and irregular, as in Hinnites; in other instances it is oblique, with a steep anterior slope;
add to this latter figure a greater lengthening of the valves, a compression of the posterior
side, and the aspect becomes strictly that of Lima, as in Z. sguammicosta, Buv., which
appears to be only the young condition of this variety.

Few shells differ more in the convexity of the valves ; occasionally an example will be
found so much inflated that its figure can only have resulted from having been moulded
upon and remained closely adherent to a convex surface, to which the missing valve
probably remained attached.

The shell is not inaequivalve, although such an appearance is often imparted to it
from a depression, or an irregularity in the convexity of one of the valves; as, however,
the borders of the valves are found to fit perfectly, this distortion cannot be owing to the
effects of fossilization.

Even from the earlier days of paleontology this shell has been a source of
doubt and perplexity. Schlotheim referred it to Ostracites, as also did Ziethen.
Mr. Sowerby, in the ‘ Mineral Conchology,’ placed it with Lima, but expressed doubts as
to the genus; more recently, Professor Quenstedt, in his ‘Jura,’ after alluding to the
features which distinguish it from the ordinary Lime, divides it into two varieties, one
having a thick and the other a thin shell; he concludes by assigning it to the genus
Ostrea, but without offering any proofs that it would be correctly placed with the latter
genus. The change from the thin to the thick shell has already been explained, and the
structure of the test is distinct from that of Ostrea.

Lima pectiniformis may be placed at the head of a group of Jurassic Lime which are
nearly allied, both in their external characters, shell structure, and mode of growth ; these

Shell small, inflated, ovately oblong; auricles small and nearly equal, the sides of the
valves steep and slightly excavated ; radiating (costa about 24), elevated, granulated ; large
upon the centre of the valves, and degenerating upon the sides into lines, decussated by
closely arranged concentric striations.

The general figure resembles Zima gibbosa, but more convex, and with radiating lines
or delicate costee upon the sides, which increase in size symmetrically towards the middle
of the valve, each rib being ornamented with a minute line of granules. The specimen
figured is of less dimensions than others, but it has only occurred very rarely.

Shell ovately ob¥ng, convex, slightly oblique; anterior slope lengthened, steep; pos-
terior slope more gradual and flattened; umbones acute, straight; anterior and posterior
auricles equal and but little produced, forming a short horizontal hinge-line ; radiating
costee upon the middle portion of the valves narrow, sub-acute, 25—27 in number at the
lower border, 14—15 near to the umbo, the additional costz near to the lower border
consisting of smaller intervening coste or lines, unequal in size, and rather irregularly
arranged; the larger costa towards the sides of the valves appear as if compressed upon
the shell. The anterior sides of the valves are nearly smooth, but each side has a few
very delicate radiating lines; the entire surface of the valves has very delicate, closely
arranged, concentric, irregular striations, which impress the coste, and are very con-

spicuous upon the wide, flattened intercostal spaces; the valves are close fitting and thin.

Shell elongated, convex, very oblique; umbones small, pointed anterior; auricles
small, nearly equal; anterior side very convex, with a steep, excavated border ; posterior
side curved elliptically; the entire surface has delicate but rounded, elevated, and finely

border.

One of the most elongated and oblique of the Jurassic Lime. The general figure and
ornamentation would much resemble Lima ovalis, Sow., if the convexity of the anterior
side were not much greater, and the coste more elevated, in the Cornbrash shell; the

degree, and less oblique than any of the shorter examples of C. oblonga, Sow.; the latter
shell has also several large, widely separated, radiating lines upon the anterior side, of which
our species is destitute. It appears to be identical with Cucullea oblonga, Phil., from the Coral
Rag, at least with the more short examples of that species, for the Coral Rag shell presents
great variability in its general figure, more especially in that of the posterior side, and it is
easy to obtain specimens which insensibly connect the shorter with the more lengthened
and oblique forms; it rarely happens that the surface ornamentation can be discovered,
but the portions of the surface obtained agree with that of the Cornbrash shell.

Shell thin, ovately oblong, somewhat inflated; umbones large, prominent, placed
anterior to the middle of the valves, directed obliquely forwards ; anterior side short and
curved elliptically, posterior side lengthened, the margin sloping obliquely downwards with
two slightly impressed oblique furrows, which are distinct towards the umbo ; the lower

transversa, Munst., less oblong, and with the anterior side more produced than in
Tsoarca Lochensis, Quenst., and Isoarca eminens, Quenst. Other Jurassic species more
remotely allied and approaching the orbicular figure are Jsoarca subspirata, Munst.,
Tsoarca texata, Munst., Isoarca decussata, Munst., and Isoarca cordiformis, Quenst. The
general figure resembles Cypricardia, but when the hinge cannot be exposed, the genus
may be distinguished by the granulations upon the surface, and by the tenuity of the test.

Shell subtrigonal, very convex and lengthened ; anterior side short, its border abruptly
truncated with numerous large, nearly horizontal and slightly undulated cost; the
umbones are elevated and much incurved ; the posterior area (which nearly equals in size
the other portion of the surface) is very wide, and is separated into three distinct parts by
as many prominent denticulated carine; the marginal carina is very large and nearly

valves ; the space between the mesial and inner carima is much depressed and its orna-
mentation is very delicate ; the superior or post ligamental space is short and wide, it has a
few elevated perpendicular plications. The convexity of the united valves is somewhat
greater than the breadth of the shell, and equal to two thirds of the length of the marginal

BIVALVIA. 47

marginal carina, for the prominence of the sculpture upon the tripartite area, and more
especially for the shortness and great breadth of the superior or post-ligamental space,
which, when the valves are united, becomes cordate rather than lanceolate. D’Orbigny
(Prodrome) believes it to be identical with 7° cardissa, Agassiz, it is, however, only necessary
to compare the marginal carina in the two forms to perceive their distinctness.

Geological Positions and Localities. It is abundant in the Oxford Clay of the southern
counties, more especially at Radipole near Weymouth, and in the Cornbrash of the coast
of Yorkshire, at Gristhorp, and at Scarborough. ‘The foreign localities cited are France,
Dives, Villers (Calvados), Clucy, Mont Orient, near to Salins (Jura), Montsec, near to St.
Mihiel (Meuse), Marault, near to Chaumont (H. Marne), Beaumont, Pizieux, Chauffour

Testa ovato-trigona, subdepressa, umbonibus parvis, recurvatis, marginé anterioré et

ornata ; area lanceolata varicibus paucis obliquis ; valvis lateribus costis numerosis concen-
tricis et dense tuberculosis, tuberculis crebris elevatis, compressis.

Shell ovately trigonal, depressed; umbones small, mesial and recurved, anterior and
lower borders rounded, superior border rather excavated; area narrow, with two oblique
carinz, and with transverse acute plications, every second plication forming a varix upon
the inner carina; the marginal carina is delicately tuberculated; the post ligamental
lanceolate space is small, with several oblique varices ; the sides of the valves have very
numerous, closely arranged, concentric tuberculated, costa; the tubercles are much elevated,
and compressed laterally, imparting to them a club-shaped figure, the lower extremity of
each extending to the succeeding costa.

A pretty little species, remarkable for the delicacy and salient features of its orna-
mentation. ‘The characters of the tubercles upon the sides of the valves closely resemble
those in Trigonia elathrata Ag., but in other particulars the two species are widely
separated ; the close contiguity of the extremities of the tubercles between row and row
gives to them, when viewed from the posterior side, the appearance of forming a series of
vertical costz ; the tubercles are, however, very well separated in the rows, and towards
the lower border they project considerably from the sides of the valves ; eighteen rows of
costee may be counted in a specimen whose length is only nine lines.

Geological Positions and Localities. The specimen figured is from the cabinet of
the Rev. A. W. Griesbach, and was obtained by him from the Cornbrash of Rushden ; it

is silicified, and is a beautiful object for the delicacy of its ornamentation ; the original
specimen figured by me in the ‘ Annals and Magazine of Natural History,’ was obtained
by the Rev. P. B. Brodie in the shelly freestone of the Inferior Oolite at Leckhampton
Hill; at each locality it ranks as one of the more rare productions.

postice alternatim angulatis, carina marginal levigato, elevato, ared planatd transversim
costatd, costis magnis, depressis.

Shell subtrigonal, convex, transversely costated; costae numerous, small, closely
arranged, curved, convex upon their lower and coneave upon their upper sides; the first
few costee are united to the marginal carina, the succeeding costa are bent suddenly
upwards at their posterior extremities, forming a series of angles, one of which proceeds
from every second costa; the marginal and inner carinz are smooth and elevated; the
area is moderately wide, flattened, traversed transversely by a few large depressed and
waved costa, which are interupted by an oblique mesial furrow.

The general figure is nearly triangular; the umbones are mesial, much elevated and
pointed ; the anterior border is nearly straight, sloping obliquely downwards, but slightly
sinuated immediately beneath the umbones; the posterior border is short and oblique.

Dimensions —The height and the lateral diameter are nearly equal; the diameter
through both the valves is one fifth less.

The coste upon the sides of the valves are so closely arranged that about twenty
occur in a specimen seven lines in height.

Shell ovately trigonal, rather depressed, elongated ; umbones recurved ; anterior side
rounded and produced ; posterior slope somewhat concave, lengthened ; the area is narrow,
flattened, with irregular transverse striations, and ornamented with three very delicate

BIVALVIA. 49

knotted carinz, the lanceolate, post-ligamental space is much lengthened, smooth, and
excavated. ‘The costated portion of the shell has the rows at first regular and concentric,
with regular, distinct tubercles ; subsequently the costee become more ridge-like and the
tubercles less separated ; anteriorly they are small, and the rows are broken and confused ;
posteriorly they are large and more regular, curving upwards slightly, but their extremities
are well separated from the marginal carina.

This is the shell attributed by Messrs. Young and Bird to 7. c/avellata, and subsequently
also by Professor Phillips, Professor Williamson, and Mr. Bean, in their lists of Cornbrash
fossils.

Trigonia signata, Ag., figured in the second part of the Great Oolite Monograph
under the name of Ziigonia decorata, is also an elongated shell, but is destitute of the
recurvature of the umbones and of the produced anterior side ; the rows of costz likewise
differ ; the posterior portions are not larger than the anterior, and there is wanting that
arrest in the continuity of the rows always conspicuous in the Cornbrash shell, and which
imparts to the anterior portion of the latter form a broken, irregular character.
Trigonia clavellata, Lhwyd, Parkinson, and Sowerby, so abundant in the Lower Cal-
careous Grit of England, France, and Switzerland, has a much shorter and more convex
figure, the umbones are not recurved, features which will suffice to distinguish them
irrespective of the ornamentation of the surface. 7. perlata, Ag., and 7. Bronnii, Ag.,
from the same beds, appear to be only varieties of 7. clavellata. Trigonta Scarburgensis
is also allied to that beautiful and well-known Oxford Clay representative of the Clavellate
so long procured at Weymouth, and of which a good figure is given in Mr. Damon’s
‘Geology of Weymouth, Suppl., pl. ii, fig. 3; the latter, im addition to the unusual
elongation of its posterior side, has a wide diagonal space, destitute of ornament, separating
the posterior extremities of the costze from the marginal carina.

Geological Position and Locality. Trigonia Scarburgensis is moderately common in
the Cornbrash of the Yorkshire coast; it may also occur in the same rock of the southern
counties, but the condition of the specimens is such that it has not been ascertained with

any confidence.

numerous, smooth, slender, nearly horizontal, and gracefully curved; the anterior border
is rounded ; the area is lengthened, narrow, and slightly excavated, having three carine,
of which the marginal and inner carime are conspicuous, curved, and crenulated ; the
median carina is small; the spaces between the carinze have longitudinal, delicate, closely
arranged, granulated little costee; the post-ligamental lanceolate space has a very
delicately reticulated surface.

A transversely lengthened, large, and gracefully curved form, much less convex than
T. costata, with more depressed umbones, and having the anterior side greatly more
rounded and produced. ‘The costated portion of the shell is very large; the coste are
numerous, not much elevated; their direction is nearly horizontal, excepting near to the
apex, where they have an elegant sigmoidal curvature. The length upon the marginal
caring is one fourth greater than the opposite measurement; the diameter through both
the valves is somewhat less than half the height. The area is very narrow and length-
ened, the ornamentation of its surface is minute and delicately sculptured, the general
figure is depressed, which, together with the small prominence of the umbones, the
excavated posterior side, and the large, rounded anterior side, will, in the aggregate, serve
to distinguish it from other allied forms.

Geological Position and Localities. It is moderately abundant in the Cornbrash of
the coast of Yorkshire. The foreign localities quoted by D’Orbigny are Luc (Calvados),
Vezelay (Yonne), Grange-Henry, near Nantua.

TRigon1a compra, Lyc. Tab. XL, fig. 1.

Testa ovato-trigona, subdepressa, umbonibus obtusis, depressis, /atere antico brevi,
rotunda, postico producto ; area planata, carinis tribus delicatissimis et striis transversis
tenuissimis instructis, costis (circa 12) posticé nodulosis, interruptis, antice rugis obliquis
instructis.

Shell ovately trigonal, rather depressed ; umbones obtuse, depressed, not recurved ;
anterior side short, rounded, posterior side more produced, its border straight, sloping
obliquely downwards; area flattened, with three very delicate, tuberculated carine, and
fine transverse striations, lanceolate ; post-ligamental space narrow, lengthened, and smooth.
The other portion of the surface has about twelve rows of coste, which become large, hori-
zontal, nodulose, interrupted varices posteriorly, and form small, oblique, rather imperfectly
tuberculated, but continuous coste anteriorly, so that all the costa reach the anterior
border in an oblique rather than in a concentric direction.

The diagnostic characters are not very strongly marked, but im the aggregate are
sufficiently distinctive. ‘The delicately ornamented area separates it from 7. Moretonis,
Mor. and Lyc., and the posterior, interrupted varices from 7. impressa, Sow. From 7:
Goldfussii, Ag., it is distinguished by the smaller oblique coste, more especially of their

BIVALVIA. ol

posterior extremities, where they do not form large, continuous varices, bent upwards at
a considerable angle, as in the latter species. 7" costatula, Lyc., is more convex, the
cost are more regular, smooth and concentric, the area also is much larger, which imparts
a subquadrate figure to the outline; other species are more remotely allied.

Geological Position and Locality. The slate of Collyweston, Northamptonshire, in
which the specimens are usually compressed.

Triconia ciyTHia, D’Orb. Suppl., p. 48, Tab. XXXVI, fig. 2; Tab. XL, fig. 5.

Some fine specimens received subsequently to the printing of page 48 have enabled
the artist to illustrate the more adult aspect of this species. Tab. XL, fig. 5 @ exhibits
the nodulous character of the posterior extremities of the cost, their anterior portions
remaining regular and concentric; fig. 5 is an aged specimen, exhibiting further changes.
In common with many other of the Jurassic Trigoniz in the ultimate stage of growth, the
smooth costz are no longer regular or concentric; they become less distinctly marked,
broken, undulating or wrinkled, constituting the approach to the period when all orna-
mentation ceases.

Shell ovately trigonal, rather depressed ; umbones obtuse, but recurved ; anterior margin
rounded ; posterior margin somewhat concave, sloping obliquely downwards ; the anterior
side has numerous (about thirty) delicate, oblique, smooth cost, which are interrupted
posteally by others which cross them nearly at right angles ; the latter costee (about seven
or eight) are large, nodulous and depressed, the two latter only reach the lower border ;
the marginal carina is but little conspicuous ; the area is somewhat concave, it is transversed
by a mesial furrow, and has a few transverse coste near to the apex. Our specimen is
slightly imperfect at the apex and at the inferior border.

Shell ovately trigonal, somewhat depressed; umbones anterior to the middle of the
valves, obtuse and depressed ; anterior side short, rounded ; posterior side sloping obliquely
down ; area flattened, with transverse, irregular striations ; marginal carinz not conspicuous,
and obsolete posteriorly ; the sides of the valves with numerous closely arranged, oblique,
plain coste, which are bent upwards posteriorly at an obtuse angle, and meet the area at
a right angle.

The costee are rounded and rather depressed; they become more distantly arranged
posteriorly, but only slightly increase in size. The young shell has the coste regular
and concentric; the marginal carina is small, but forms a distinct elevation ; a specimen
more aged than the one selected for our figure has the posterior portions of the coste
slightly nodulous ; anteriorly they become waved and irregular.

Geological Positions and Localities. A yare species; Mr. Walton’s specimens are
from the Forest Marble of Farleigh, near Bath ; it has also occurred in the same position
near to Cirencester.

oblique declivi, lateribus costis elevatis, angustis, crebris, subundulatis, et spinulosis,
oblique instructis ; area parva planata oblique striata, carina marginal minimo, subnullo.

Shell subtrigonal, short, depressed ; umbones elevated, mesial, and not recurved ; anterior
and posterior borders nearly straight, sloping obliquely downwards, the surface with
numerous (about twenty-four) narrow, elevated, spinose, and somewhat undulated oblique
costee, which are directed from the marginal carina anteally downwards, and all reach the
lower margin ; the area is narrow and obliquely striated ; the marginal carina is very small,
and rather indistinct.

The narrow, ridge-like costa have numerous minute, obtuse spines, which impart
roughness to the surface; they are distinct, rather irregular, and therefore very different
from the serrated, elevated, regular coste of 7. striata, Miller, and its allied species; the

BIVALVIA. 53

general aspect resembles 7: duplicata, Sow., but it has no bifureating coste near to the
lower border, and is also destitute of concentric costa near to the apex. The sole specimen
at our disposal is imperfect at the posterior extremity; it has twenty cost, and would
require about four others to complete its surface. Possibly Zrigonia Cybele, D’Orb.,
from the Great Oolite of Luc, may not differ from this species, but the seven words allotted
to it in the ‘ Prodrome’ of that author are insufficient to characterise it.

The figure is nearly that of an equilateral triangle, each of the sides having a length
of about an inch.

postice striis radiantibus obliquis decussatis.

Shell ovately orbicular, convex ; umbones large, prominent, mesial, straight, or directed
slightly forwards ; the anterior and posterior margins of the valves are curved elliptically ;
there is no lunule; the whole surface has very densely arranged, delicate, concentric
striations ; the posterior side is not compressed, but has some oblique, faintly marked
striations, which produce a roughened surface where they decussate the concentric
striations.

The specific characters are not strongly defined, and reside more in the general figure
than in the ornamentation of the surface; the Cornbrash specimens have a thin, shining
test, and the striations can scarcely be distinguished without the aid of a magnifier ; the
posterior side is scarcely so much produced as the other, and the greatest convexity of
the valves is placed a little posterior to the mesial line; the Kelloway Rock examples
are smaller.

Cardium cognatum is nearly allied to an inferior Oolite species, casts of which are
very common in the Cotteswold Hills; the latter fossils are more ovate, the muscular
scars more strongly impressed; the test is much more thick; the striations, both
concentric and oblique, are more strongly defined, especially the oblique striations

BIVALVIA. 59

upon the posterior side, which deeply indent the shell, and are therefore always
conspicuous. The Cardium cognatum of Goldfuss is a very different shell, having a
posterior angle and oblique umbones. D’Orbigny (‘ Prodrome’) has arranged our species
with his genus Unicardium, in which he has been followed by Dr. Oppel (‘ Juraformation’) ;
but, having examined the muscular impressions and also those of the hinge, I can affirm
that Professor Phillips correctly discriminated the genus.

Geological Positions and Localities. The specimens figured are from the Cornbrash
of Scarborough ; it occurs also in the Kelloway Rock of the same neighbourhood and in
Wiltshire.

Shell small, ovately trigonal, convex; umbones mesial, prominent, and somewhat
pointed ; the anterior and lower margins are rounded; the posterior margin is somewhat
angulated at its lower extremity; the posterior side has a conspicuous, oblique angle,
separating a flattened, smooth, posterior area, which is traversed by a mesial, oblique furrow ;
the other portion of the surface has very fine, regular, concentric striations. The height
and length are equal ; the diameter through both the valves is somewhat less.

The abruptness of the posterior angle, the flattened, smooth area, with its mesial
groove, appear to separate it from other allied Jurassic species. Possibly it may be a
dwarfed representative of a much larger form.

56 SUPPLEMENT TO GREAT OOLITE MOLLUSCA.

the lower portion of the anterior border is elliptically curved ; the base is nearly straight ;
the inner borders of the valves are crenulated ; the surface has closely arranged, delicate,
unequal, longitudinal striations, which are decussated upon the anterior side by others
which radiate from the umbones, and when the outer layer of the test has been removed
a series of strongly marked, radiating striations are exposed over the whole of the
valve; both kinds of striations are also impressed more or less distinctly upon the
nucleus.

This delicately ornamented Cypricardia might at the first glance be mistaken for a
depressed variety of Cypricardia cordiformis, Desh., a shell which in the young condition
possesses great differences of figure ; it will be found, however, that Cypricardia caudata is
more depressed, more trigonal, the anterior side more lengthened, and the posterior angle
much less defined, so that the portion of the surface posterior to it is even somewhat
convex ; but in Cypricardia cordiformis it is flattened or often slightly concave in some
instances ; the entire absence of ornamentation, both upon the test and the nucleus, is
another distinctive feature. The fine specimen figured has the area delicately preserved,
and exhibits the ligament; the test is of moderate thickness, and the mner borders of
the valves are crenulated ; an exposed portion of the nucleus has striations corresponding
to those upon the inner layer of the test.

The single figure given by Quenstedt is much more inflated, with larger umbones,

and is probably also distinct; it is from a lower geological position, associated with
Trigonia signata, Ag., and other Inferior Oolite fossils of that stage.

Another shell erroneously attributed to our species is Z minima, Damon (‘ Geol.
Weymouth,’ Suppl., pl. iv, fig. 7), from the Coral Rag of Weymouth; it is much more
oblique, with produced umbones.

The figures given in the ‘ Mineral Conchology’ and in the ‘ Geology of Yorkshire’ may
each be objected to for the great prominence of the umbones and the large excavation of
the lunule. he Yorkshire examples, which are very well preserved, differ somewhat from
each other in the degree of their obliquity ; some have a slightly defined, oblique, posterior
angle. The height and length are usually equal, the diameter through the valves being
one fourth less.

deprived of the test, a fine example in a perfect condition is now given, together with a
magnified figure of the ornamentation of the surface. The Cornbrash and the Lower
Calcareous Grit of Yorkshire yield specimens with the test very beautifully preserved,
brown and shining. One from the former rock has been selected ; the valves have delicate,
regular, concentric striations ; and when a portion of the external Jamina of the test has
decomposed, the striations are decussated by others radiating from the umbones, as is also
seen in /socardia nitida ; these radiating striations belong only to the inner layer of the

The anterior side is more produced and less inflated than Jsocardia tenera, Sow.,
from which, also, it differs in having an acute posterior angle. When the external shining
surface has been abraded, it becomes the Jsocardia triangularis of Bean, with radiating
striations, which indent the longitudinal ridges, a feature of which there are analogous
examples in some species of Ceromya, Pecten, &c. The inner border of the valyes

Shell suborbicular, depressed, inequilateral; anterior margin horizontal and nearly
straight ; outline of the borders of the valves rather irregular; the surface with very deli-
cate, densely arranged, and a few distant, large, concentric striations, decussated by nume-
rous faintly marked, longitudinal lines; anterior muscular impression lengthened, narrow,
the posterior one obovate ; the pallial impression rugose, with an obliquely curved sulcus,
Height and transverse diameter equal.

The original of our figure is less transverse than that of M. Buvignier, but in other
particulars strictly agrees with it ; it is much less convex then Z. rofundata, Roem., and
the surface ornamentation is quite distinct, but the outline of the two species is very
similar.

is short, and slightly curved.

As the hinge has not been exposed, some doubt may exist whether it is really a

The foregoing description will serve to distinguish it from a small, thick, but less in-

of the ‘Great Oolite Monograph,’ and described in Part II, p.97; it had previously
been figured and described by Professor Buckman, in Sir R. Murchison’s ‘Geology of
Cheltenham,’ 2nd ed., p. 97, pl. 3, fig. 4, under the title of Cordula striata ; but as that
name had already been appropriated by Lamarck for an Hocene Corbula, it becomes
necessary to change it to C. Buckmani, under which name it is refigured, Tab. XX XVII,

longitudinal striations, separated by elevated, narrow lines, which disappear at the posterior
angle.

The height, length, and diameter through the united valves are nearly equal; the test
is thick.

The shortness of the posterior side, its angle, and the greater prominence of the
umbones, will distinguish it from C. striata, Buck. (C. Buckmanii, nobis, Pl. XX XVII,
fig. 8). Corbula involuta, Munster, has the posterior side more lengthened and
rostrated, and is almost destitute of the posterior angle; the striations upon the surface
are much more delicate and faintly traced, they are oblique rather than concentric or
longitudinal. Corbula cuculeformis, Kock and Dunker, is also allied to it, but with the
figure less inflated and with more pointed umbones ; it is therefore, probably, distinct.
Possibly C. amata, D’Orb., may be identical with our species, but unfortunately the few
words of description in the ‘ Prodrome’ of that author are insufficient to characterise it ; the
same remark will also apply to his C. Aglaya and C. Alimena.

66 SUPPLEMENT TO GREAT OOLITE MOLLUSCA.

It appears from the above quotation that M. D’Orbigny was acquainted only with
the hinge of the right valve of his Sowerbya crassa, upon which species the genus was
founded, and that he mistook the mesial dental pit for a fosse destined to receive an
internal ligament. In 1851, M. Buvignier having worked out the details of the generic
characters from specimens obtained in the upper ferruginous Oolite of the Oxfordian
strata of Ornes (Mense), and Launoy (Ardennes), gave them to the public in the ‘ Bulletin
of the Geological Society of France,’ sér. 2, t. 8, p. 353, under the new generic
designation of Zsodonta. It is to the researches of M. Buvignier, therefore, that we are
indebted for a full and accurate description of Sowerbya. The same author states that
M. Terquem has discovered one nearly allied to the typical form in the Bradfordian beds
of the Mozelle.

The Jurassic rocks of England contain upwards of five species of Sowerbya :-—1,
S. triangularis, from the Oxfordian and Lower Oolites of Yorkshire; 2, S. Woodwardi,
from the Great Oolite of the Minchinhampton district; 3, a small abruptly truncated
species from the Coral Rag of Yorkshire and Oxfordshire; 4, a small subzequivalve shell,
with a posterior strongly marked oblique angle from the Coral Rag of Bullingdon; 5, an
internal cast of a large species determined by Mr. Woodward, and figured by Mr. Damon
in his ‘ Geology of Weymouth,’ from the Portland Oolite, under the name of S. Dukei.

Shell transverse, oblong, inflated, slightly inaequilateral ; the posterior side the shorter,
with a posterior oblique angle, separating a posterior slightly excavated surface which
terminates downwards in a conspicuous angle; the anterior side is produced and curved
elliptically ; the umbones are placed a little posterior to the middle of the valves ; they are
small and contiguous. The surface has one or two large folds of growth, and is orna-
mented with longitudinal, regular, closely arranged striations, which disappear upon the
posterior excavated slope.

The height is about equal to the diameter through both the valves, and to three fifths
of the length.

The species exhibits much variability in the general figure, in the degree of convexity,
in the prominence of the posterior angle, and in the length; differences which are not
limited to a single formation or locality, as it occurs in the Yorkshire Oolites in the

BIVALVIA. 67

Dogger, the Gray Limestone, the Cornbrash, the Kelloway Rock, and the Coral Rag ;
numerous specimens are also in the Tessonian collection from Normandy, now in the
British Museum. Some of these examples are almost destitute of the posterior angle, and
approach so nearly in the general figure to Sowerbya crassa, D’Orb. = Isodonta Des-
haysea, Buv., that they might fairly have been assigned to that species, if we had not the
assurance of M. Buvignier that his specimens from two localities are in a good state of
preservation, and that they are destitute of ornamentation—a feature which is always dis-
coverable in good examples of 8. friangularis, whether British or Foreign.

Mr. Whiteaves has figured a small species of Sowerbya, ‘ Aun. and Mag., Nat. Hist.,’
August, 186], under the name of S. ¢riangularis, Phil. Having had the advantage of
comparing the original specimen, through the kindness of Mr. Whiteaves, with various
Yorkshire specimens of S. ¢riangularis, I feel unable to coincide in the opinion that it is
identical with the species of Professor Phillips; the new Oxfordshire form is much
smaller, less inflated, destitute of ornamentation ; and the posterior side is so short that
‘ truncata’ would be an appropriate name: it is from the Coral Rag of Oxfordshire. I
have also found it in the Calcareous Grit at Scarborough Castle.

The second small species figured by Mr. Whiteaves upon the same plate under the
name of S. Deshaysca, Buv.? also appears to be distinct from each of the foregoing
examples; the general figure is more compressed, the anterior slope is excavated,
which renders its lower extremity pointed; the whole aspect somewhat resembles a
Nucula.

Our specimen figured is from the Cornbrash of Scarborough,

elevated than in S. friangularis, Our right hand figure is imperfect at the posterior
extremity, and the posterior oblique angle is not clearly shown; the left hand figure
has the anterior extremity too obtusely rounded, the specimen wanting a little of its

Testa ovato-obliqua levigata, umbonibus parvis, antero-medianis, lunula angusta, sulco
ligamenti angusto, margine superiore oblique curvato,

Shell oblique, ovate, smooth ; umbones not prominent, placed a little anterior to the
middle of the valves; anterior border slightly depressed, lunule narrow; superior border
curved obliquely ; ligamental sulcus narrow and lengthened ; surface of the valves smooth,
the lines of growth being only faintly impressed. The height is equal to two thirds of
the length ; the diameter through both the valves is equal to about half the height.

This shell presents an example of a remarkable series of Jurassic bivalves, whose cha-
racteristic features are intermediate between Corbis and Tancredia, and which may usually
be discriminated without reference to the hinge ; compared with Corbis, the more depressed
form, the smallness of the anterior side, and the surface destitute of ornament, will always
distinguish it; from Tancredia by the more ovate form, and by the absence of the posterior
oblique angle. The hinge is figured upon PI. XII, fig. 15, of the ‘Great Oolite Monograph ;’
but the artist has scarcely extended the hinge-lamina sufficiently to exhibit the depressed
posterior lateral lamellar process ; the absence of the anterior lateral tooth, and the figure
of the cardinal dentition, is also distinct from Corbis, and is more nearly allied to Tancredia,
from which it differs chiefly in possessing a lengthened hinge-lamina and depressed
remote posterior lateral tooth; these distinctive features are remarkably persistent in
every example of Corbicella, and tends greatly to strengthen its claims to a generic

Cornbrash of Scarborough, in which rock it is rare. The lower grit of the upper portion
of the Inferior Oolite at Rodborough Hill, near Stroud, has produced a considerable
number of specimens, for the most part smaller, and sometimes more nearly equilateral ; it
also occurs in the same position at Leckhampton Hill; at each of these Inferior Oolite
localities it is associated with a larger, more lengthened, aud more depressed species,

wards ; the posterior side has an oblique angle; the anterior border is slightly concave ;
the surface has numerous plications of growth, which become large and irregular towards

Shell ovately transverse, convex, smooth, oblique; umbones large, incurved, placed
anterior to the middle of the valves; area small, lanceolate ; posterior side compressed and
slightly concave, forming an oblique and well-defined angle with the other portion of the
surface ; lower border curved elliptically, forming an angle at its junction with the posterior
border. Nearly allied to Cyprina Loweana, Mor. and Lyc., from which it is distinguished
by the larger umbones; larger lunule, by the posterior flattened or concave area, and by
the well-defined oblique and acute angle, which renders the posterior extremity some-
what rostrated.

Shell transverse, ovately orbicular, smooth, rather depressed; umbones of moderate
size, but little elevated, placed a little anterior to the middle of the valves and curved
forwards ; hinge margin straight, nearly horizontal, and slightly angulated posteriorly ; the
lunule is narrow, and but slightly impressed; the exterior surface has an oblique angle,
posterior to which the surface is flattened ; the striations of growth, and delicate, numerous,
and irregular.

The depressed form, posterior subhorizontal straight hinge border, and oblique
posterior angle, are the features that will serve to distinguish it from allied contemporaneous
forms. The numerous specimens placed at my disposal include examples from two to
nine lines in length, which measurements usually exceed the height by one fifth.

Shell suborbicular or somewhat subquadrangular, depressed, inequilateral ; umbones
small and only slightly produced; posterior and inferior margins rounded, lunule,
ebsolete ; the surface near to the umbo with elevated acute concentric rugs, which are
impressed with very delicate concentric striations ; the rug disappear towards the middle
of the valve, the lower portion having only some plications of growth.

The character of the surface has a considerable resemblance to Astarte Wiltoni, ‘ Gr.
Ool. Monogr.,’ Tab. IX, f. 16 ; but the latter has the umbo much more produced, it has a
distinctly excavated lunule and is more convex ; other depressed species are sufficiently
separated by their ornamentation.

Astarte lurida, Sow., which occurs in Gloucestershire at Nailsworth in gray shale
near to the upper boundary of the Upper Lias, and in the lower portion of the overlying
Supraliassic Sands associated with Ammonites variabilis, is a very different shell, whose
figure is ovately trigonal and moderately convex, with prominent apex, well-marked lunule
and depressed concentric rugz ; it does not therefore present a near approximation to our
species.

Astarte ungulata has the height and lateral diameter equal ; the valves are moderately
thick ; the size varies from 4 to 10 lines across. It is rare.

Geological Positions and Localities. Professor Phillips figured the interior of a valve
from the Oxford Clay of Scarborough. Mr. Leckenby has recorded it in the Kelloway
Rock of the same locality; our figure is taken from a Cornbrash specimen of the same
coast now in the collection of Mr. Leckenby, and formerly in that of Mr. Bean, who
identified the species with that originally figured in the ‘ Geology of Yorkshire.’

Testa parva suborbiculari, convexa, umbonibus medianis elevatis, lunula magna, valvis

Shell small, nearly orbicular, convex ; umbones mesial and produced ; lunule distinctly
marked, rounded, the surface with numerous (about twenty) depressed, narrow, con-
centric little ribs, separated by somewhat wider and nearly equal spaces, upon the posterior
side the ribs are slightly undulated.

The little ribs are strongly marked upon the sides, but much less so upon the middle
of the valve, and are scarcely to be distinguished upon the umbones; they are so delicate
that the surface appears plain without the aid of a magnifier; this latter feature will
serve to distinguish it from other small species, as 4. minima, Phil., 4. pisiformis, Sow.,
A. Parkinsoni, Quenst. Of other small examples of the genus, 4. pisum, Kock and
Dunker, and 4. Pontonis, Lyc., are much less orbicular, and have more prominent coste ;
A. mediolevis, Buv., has the ornamentation of a similar character, but the figure is ovatelv
trigonal, and therefore sufficiently distinct.

margine superiort subrecto, elongato, oblique declivi; basi arcuato curvato ; superficie
rugis crebris concentricis et striis subtilibus ornatis.

Shell thick, transverse, ovate, rather depressed ; umbones small, prominent, placed at
the commencement of the anterior third of the shell ; anterior side short, its margin
rounded with scarcely any lunule; posterior side produced and compressed, its superior
margin nearly straight, lengthened, sloping obliquely ; the base is elliptically curved; the
surface has prominent, concentric, closely arranged, rounded rugz near to the umbones,
which afterwards degenerate into depressed, irregular plications; there are also fine, con-
centric striations.

A large species, remarkable for the depression of the valves and for the great
length and straightness of the superior border, whose measurement is equal to the
height or to two thirds of the entire length of the shell; the rugze are so closely
arranged near to the apex that upwards of thirty may be counted upon one fourth the
height of the shell.

From Astarte elegans, Sow., it is distinguished by the more lengthened, depressed
figure, and by the absence of a smooth, excavated lunule; it is much less orbicular and
convex than 4. defrita, Goldf.; the depressed figure, lengthened, straight, upper margin,
and large rugze, will serve to distinguish it from other large ovate species of the lower
Oolites. Specimens in Mr. Leckenby’s collection exceed three inches in length, It is
not rare, but, in common with other large shells of the Cornbrash, it has usually undergone
compression.

Shell small, suborbicular, much inflated ; umbones large, mesial, incurved ; posterior and
lower margins rounded ; lunule very large, concave, its margins rounded ; the surfaces of
the valves have narrow, concentric, regular, elevated costee, 16—18 in number, which are

or four times the breadth of the costa.

Height, lateral diameter, and diameter through both the valves, each about 4 lines.

About thrice the size of a minute Cotteswold Inferior Oolite species which possesses
a similar figure, but whose costa are irregular. Astarte Bulla, Goldf., is also globose, but
has only half the number of costa. 4. integra, Goldf., has less convexity and is more
oblique ; other small species, figured by Roemer, Buvignier, and by Quenstedt, have less
convexity and more obliquity.

Shell small, convex, ovately orbicular; umbones elevated, pointed, nearly mesial, and
curved forwards ; hinge-border lengthened, nearly straight, slopmg obliquely downwards,
forming a narrow, smooth area, separated from the costated part of the shell by an acute
angle; the lunule is large, costated, and somewhat excavated ; the surfaces of the valves
have large, numerous (about 20) concentric, elevated, and rounded costa, separated
by more narrow interstitial spaces; adult shells have a large fold of growth near to the
lower border.

A small, convex, neatly ornamented species, allied to 4. minima, Phil., and A. pisum,
Kock and Dunker ; from the former it is distinguished by the more numerous and more
closely arranged costs, by the more pointed and more curved umbones, by the larger
lunule, and by the posterior, straight, smooth, acutely bordered area; the latter feature will
also separate it from A. piswm and from A. supracorallina, D’Orb.

The height and lateral diameter are about 4 lines.

GRESSLYA PEREGRINA, Phil., sp. Tab. XXXVI, figs. 2, 2 a, 4.

In addition to the specimen figured in Pl. XV, Part IT of the ‘ Great Oolite Monograph,’
it has been deemed advisable to exemplify three other variations of form, by the aid of
which the intermediate connecting links may readily be imagined. ‘This Gresslya is very
abundant in the Cornbrash, both in Wiltshire and Yorkshire, so that ample opportunities
are afforded of studying every variation of form which it presents; these, as will be seen
from our figures, are so considerable and so common that it seems impossible fairly to
disconnect from them some other examples of Gresslya from the Inferior Oolite, as Unio
abductus, Phil., Gresslya latior, Ag., G. conformis, Ag., G. lunulata, Ag., G. erycina, Ag.,
G. concentrica, Ag., and perhaps also G. zonata, Ag. In all these the same kind of
surface obtains, and the outer, granulated tegument is precisely identical, belonging to
that section of the genus in which the radiating lines and the granules are of the most
minute size, and very densely arranged. It has been usual to select for G. abducta
Inferior Oolite examples with short forms, elevated umbones, tumid anterior sides, and
compressed posterior sides; but the shortness of figure is surpassed by some from the
Cornbrash, and the inflation of the anterior side varies in amount with every specimen.
From these, probably, must be separated G. Jatirostris, Ag., which attains to large

the posterior angle is only distinguishable near to the umbones ; the posterior extremity is
slightly truncated. The height only very slight exceeds half the length.

As this shell possesses considerable variability of figure, another example is given from
the Cornbrash of the Yorkshire Coast. In the former description (p. 114, line 8), these
words should be erased —‘ iz the upper beds of the Inferior Oolite.”’ An examination of
numerous Yorkshire specimens has proved that they were all obtained in the Cornbrash,
including the original specimen figured in the ‘ Geology of Yorkshire,’ which was erroneously
placed with the Inferior Oolite fossils, and figured with them in pl. xi of that work.
The Cornbrash specimens have the test with its granulated tegument well preserved, but
usually the fossil has undergone some compression or distortion. The former figure,
Plate XI, fig. 2, represented a Minchinhampton specimen from the base of the Great
Oolite. An Inferior Oolite shell frequently mistaken for J/yacites calceiformis occurs
only in the form of casts; it is more gibbose, with larger, more elevated umbones, the
posterior side being much shorter and more attenuated. As the casts are common, and
these distinctive characters are persistent, there can be no doubt that it must be dis-
tinguished from the species of Professor Phillips. Authorities generally have followed the
‘Geology of Yorkshire,’ and placed J/yacites calceiformis in the Inferior Oolite, and Dr.

Oppel (‘ Juraformation’) has made the Cornbrash shell into a new species, with the name of
Panopea Haueri ; 1 can, however, with confidence state that there is no evidence that the
fossil in question has ever been obtained in Yorkshire lower than the Cornbrash; in
Gloucestershire its lowest position is at the base of the Great Oolite.

distinguished. The test is delicate; the ornamentation of the surface has the radiating
lines of granules so dense and minute, that they can only be distinguished by the aid of a
considerable magnifying power. The height is two thirds of the length, the diameter
through the valves being equal to half the length. These dimensions apply to the shorter
Cornbrash examples, but many of the Kelloway Rock specimens are more elongated. To
the latter variety may be attributed the Zutraria sinuosa, Roemer ; it is necessary, however,
to separate altogether the Lutraria recurva, Goldf. (‘ Petref.,’ tab. cliii, fig. 15), which has
the general figure very different. The example of Agassiz is unusually short and gibbose ;
and as he has figured a cast, we are precluded from comparing the ornamentation of the
surface. D’Orbigny (‘ Prodrome,’ i, p. 359) has separated it under the title of Panopea
subrecurva ; but, considering the varieties of figure which this species assumes, probably it
is only a short variety of the species of Professor Phillips.

Myacites recurvum possesses so little of the aspect of a Gresslya (Lyonsia, D’Orb.)
that we are led to speculate upon the probability that Lyonsia recurva, D’Orbigny, is a
form erroneously ascribed by that author to the species in question.

Geological Positions and Localities. Myacites recurvum is almost peculiar to the

11

82 SUPPLEMENT TO GREAT OOLITE MOLLUSCA.

Oxfordian Oolites ; for although it occurs in the Cornbrash of Yorkshire and Wiltshire, it
is rarely found in a lower position than the Kelloway Rock. Roemer records his Lutraria
sinuosa in the Lower Coral Rag of Heersthum; Agassiz places his Plewromya recurva in
the Terrain 4 Chailles of Chamsol, in the department of Doubs.

Nucleus glaber.

Shell ovately elongated, with the sides of the valves rather flattened; anterior side
attenuated, its margin sloping obliquely downwards ; lunule concave ; posterior side more
convex and lengthened, its superior border nearly horizontal ; the posterior extremity is
somewhat rounded, with an aperture moderately large ; the umbones are depressed, and
somewhat compressed laterally ; they are placed a little posterior to the anterior third of
the shell, and there is a slight sulcation, which proceeds from them obliquely forwards and
downwards towards the lower border; the inferior margin is lengthened and nearly
straight; the surface of the test has numerous irregular and rather delicate longitudinal
plications ; the granules over the greater portion of the valves are so minute and crowded
that they cannot be traced to form connecting lines, but towards the sides they are larger,
more distantly arranged, and distinctly linear; the test upon the anterior side is of
moderate thickness, posteriorly it is much thinner; the nucleus is smooth, and exhibits
the adductor and pallial scars.

Length, 2 inches; height, 1 inch; diameter through both the valves, # inch; but our
specimen is imperfect, and appears to have lost about 2 lines in length at the posterior
extremity.

The more depressed umbones, the anterior attenuation, and the nearly horizontal
figure of the superior border, will serve to distinguish it from all the varieties of Pleuromya
elongata, Ag., to which it bears some resemblance.

The Arcomya sinistra of Quenstedt, ‘Der Jura,’ p. 451, tab. Ixii, fig. 2, from the higher
stage of the Inferior Oolite, occurs also in the same position in the vicinity of Cheltenham ;
it is, however, distinct from A/yacites sinistra. Some varieties of Myacites decurtatum
approach to it in the general figure, but are readily distinguishable when the granulated

surface can be examined and compared, the minute, crowded pattern upon fs sinistra,
with the widely separated lines of granules upon JZ. decurtatum.

Shell ovately elongated, rather depressed; umbones antero-mesial, rather depressed ;
anterior margin produced, rounded; posterior margin more lengthened, nearly straight,
sloping downwards obliquely, lower border curved elliptically ; the granulated test consists
of extremely delicate, very densely arranged, radiating lines, visible only under a magnifier;

Shell transversely elongated, very inaequilateral; umbones placed anterior to the
middle of the valves, small, depressed, and anterior ; posterior side rostrated or attenuated,
and much elongated; area large and wide, with two longitudinal ridges, in addition to a
distinct marginal ridge which separates the area from the other portion of the shell;
anterior side rather compressed, its border is curved elliptically ; the anterior portion of
the sides of the valves have regular, longitudinal ridges and furrows, which disappear
posterior to the umbones; the oblique sulcation which proceeds downwards from the
umbones in all examples of Cercomya is only faintly impressed.

The specimen figured has the general form of the shell unusually well preserved, but
the test has disappeared ; the very inequilateral figure, with the attenuation and elongation
of the posterior side, will readily distinguish it from Anatina undulata, Sow., as also from
most other examples of the genus.

Height, one third the length; diameter through both the valves, one fourth the
length.

Geological Positions and Localities. It occurs rarely in the Cornbrash of Scarborough.
Professor Phillips has recorded it in the Oxford Clay, and Mr. Leckenby in the
Kelloway Rock and Calcareous Grit of Yorkshire. M. Quenstedt quotes it from the
Cornbrash of Wurtemburg; M. Agassiz from the Oxfordian Strata of the Vadois Jura and

Shell ovately elongated; the anterior side short, rounded, cordiform ; the posterior side
produced and attenuated ; the inferior margin is curved elliptically ; the superior margin is
moderately lengthened and concave; the umbones are elevated and tumid ; the sides of
the valves are convex, with closely arranged but not prominent longitudinal plications ;
the radiating cost are very narrow or linear, disposed obliquely, about twelve in number;

BIVALVIA. 85

they are slightly impressed by the decussating plications, and disappear before reaching
the lower border; the apertures, both posterior and antero-inferior, are narrow, and not
much lengthened ; the post-ligamental area is wide, and bounded by a distinct elevation
upon each side.

The test is thin, and is sometimes preserved, the characters of the surface being very
well shown upon the casts ; in many specimens the radiating lines, or little coste, are so
faintly marked that they are only visible near to the umbones. The very delicate,
radiating little rbs and the nearly equally faintly marked longitudinal plications will
usually serve to distinguish it from allied forms of the genus when combined with the
elongated figure. In the Pholodomye the relative measurements of the parts are little to
be depended upon; but in the Cornbrash specimen figured, the diameter, the height,
and the length, are as 1—15—2. Occasionally the length has a greater proportion.

Geological Positions and Localities. It is somewhat rare in the Cornbrash of the
coast of Yorkshire, but it is common in the Inferior Oolite of the Cotteswold Hills, its
position being the stratum with Conchifera immediately underlying the bed with
Gryphea sublobata.

Testa ovato-cordata, inflatra, umbonibus magnis elevatis, antice brevissima truncata,
postice producta, valde hiante ; lateribus rugis irregularibus numerosis, leviter impressis,
costisque (7—8) perpendiculariter, angustis ; costa secunda majora.

Shell ovately cordate, much inflated; umbones large, anterior, elevated, but obtuse ;
anterior side short and truncated ; posterior side produced, its superior border concave,
with a lengthened, large aperture, which extends upwards even to the ligament ; the sides
of the valves have very numerous, irregular, longitudinal rugee, which are not very promi-
nent, and only slightly indent the narrow, perpendicular costa, of which there are seven or
eight ; the second costa is much larger than the others, and is more remotely placed,
imparting a degree of angularity to the anterior side of the shell; the other cost are
symmetrical, and descend almost perpendicularly to the lower border, leaving a con-
siderable space upon the posterior side of the valves destitute of costa. The young shell
is much less inflated, and more produced upon the posterior side, the aperture at that part
being, in proportion, more narrow; the second costa has very little more prominence than
the others, so that the anterior side has Jess angularity and its border is more rounded
than in the adult form. In old specimens the height and convexity of the valves are
nearly equal, the length being a little more considerable ; in young shells, not exceeding an
inch and a half in length, the convexity is one third less.

86 SUPPLEMENT TO GREAT OOLITE MOLLUSCA.

It has only been after long consideration, and an ample comparison of specimens of
various dimensions, that I have seen fit to adopt the view taken by Professor Morris in his
‘Catalogue,’ and separate this shell both from Pholadomya deltoidea and from Pholadomya
Heraulti, of the Inferior Oolite. Compared with the latter form, it will be found that
P. Phillipsii has the anterior side more truncated, and the posterior side gapes with a
larger aperture ; this latter feature is, in fact, distinguishable in shells of all dimensions ;
the longitudinal rugee are more irregular and much less conspicuous, so that they only
slightly indent the cost, these latter being less oblique than in P. Heraultt. The
superior largeness and regularity of the rug, together with the deep indentations of the
coste, is the feature which, at the first glance, impresses the spectator upon inspecting
P, Heraulti ; the costee are usually somewhat more numerous, there being two anterior
to the large coste and an additional one posterior to it, so that, together with their
greater obliquity, only a small portion of the posterior side of the shell is destitute
of coste.

Compared with P. de/toidea, Sow., the figure of the latter is more inflated, the costz
larger and less indented, it also is without the angularity which is imparted by the second
large costa of P. Phillipsii.

Geological Position and Locality. Pholadomya Phillipsii is abundant in the Cornbrash
of Scarborough, Gristhorpe, &c., and usually has the test preserved. ‘

This species, so abundant in the Great Oolite, Fuller’s Earth, and Cornbrash of the
south of England, varies greatly in its general figure, even in the same bed and locality ;
and as its synonyms may now be considered as clearly ascertained, I have deemed it
desirable to figure a specimen from the Cornbrash of Wiltshire, in which the costé are
irregularly arranged, and the general figure is more lengthened than in the two specimens
formerly figured in the second part of the ‘Monograph of the Great Oolite Mollusca,’
under the name of P. solifaria. Of these latter, the index facing Tab. XII, fig. 2, by a
typographical error, was printed P. od/ita, a shell which is given at fig. 5 upon the same
plate. Even the two Great Oolite specimens have the anterior side less truncated, the

BIVALVIA. 87

umbones more obtuse, and the general figure less inflated, than obtains in the greater
number of those from the Minchinhampton district ; and, upon the other hand, all of them
are less lengthened upon the posterior side than is seen in the figures given by Agassiz
and by Messrs. Chapuis and Dewalque.

Pholadomya deltoidea is remarkable for the large, prominent, and slightly indented
costa, usually seven in number, of which the two posterior ones are much less conspicuous,
and are usually evanescent towards the lower border.

The frequent truncation of the anterior side in Pholadomya, and the general distortion
of the shell which usually accompanies it, is a source of frequent difficulty in the dis-
crimination of species, and is seen commonly and even usually in P. de/foidea, when
specimens are collected without selection. The shell in its normal position rested upon
the compressed anterior side; the general distortion of figure consequent upon it com-
menced at a very early period in the growth of the mollusc, continued throughout its
existence, and did not prevent it from attaining to the usual dimensions of the species ; it
occurs equally in all the other forms assumed by the genus. Where the flattening of the
anterior side is considerable the umbones become more poimted and prominent, the
radiating elevations or ribs are directed more obliquely backwards ; in other instances they
become more closely arranged, or they are waved and irregular. The distortion is not
limited to specimens connected with any particular kind of lithological condition, as it
occurs in compact, thin-bedded limestones, in thick beds of soft, sandy marl, or in thick-
bedded Oolitic limestone; it is also common to find both compressed and uncompressed

examples in contiguity.

The figure is nearly that of a cone, compressed laterally ; the umbones are elevated,
pointed, and placed a little anterior to the middle of the valves; the steepness and
straightness of the posterior slope, together with the nearly straight lower border, imparts
a distinctive character to the shell, irrespective of the large, carimated third costa, which is
so much more conspicuous than the others that it forms a kind of keel or angle upon the
anterior side; it descends to the lower border without curvature, but is directed slightly

88 SUPPLEMENT TO GREAT OOLITE MOLLUSCA.

forwards; the six or seven coste posterior to it are much smaller, they diminish
regularly in prominence, are closely arranged, and are deeply indented by the regular,
large, concentric plications; the anterior side gapes slightly, and has two inconspicuous,
indented cost ; the posterior aperture is narrow and lengthened.

The sub-conical figure, pointed posterior side, and large, carinated rib, will serve to
distinguish it from P. Heraulti, Ag., to which it is nearly allied; the more angulated
figure, and more numerous cost, from P. carinata, Ag. Some examples of Pholadomya
from the Inferior Oolite are not distinguishable from P. /yrata; but between these and
P. Heraulti are others, which apparently serve to connect the two forms, so that it is
difficult to separate them altogether from P. /yrata, although undoubtedly they must be
merged with P. Heraulti ; these connecting links are also quite irrespective of any changes
that may be due to the stage of growth in either of the two species.

Geological Positions and Localities. P. lyrata is common in the Cornbrash of
Wiltshire and Dorsetshire. Dr. Oppel records it in the same rock at Marquise, near
Boulogne, and Egg, near Aran, D’Orbigny (‘ Prodrome,’ i, p. 252) quotes it from the
Upper Lias, near Bath, which is an error copied from the ‘Mineral Conchology of
Great Britain.’

Homomya ecrpposa, Sow., sp. Part II, Tab. XII. fig. 14; Tab. XLIII, figs. 2, 2 a.

Described at page 138, Part II, under the name of MJyacites gibbosus. As this shell
occurs abundantly both in the Cornbrash and the Inferior Oolite of the southern counties
of England, a full-sized average example is here figured ; occasionally, indeed, the species
acquired much larger dimensions, as in the Cornbrash of Wiltshire, but it is then
invariably more or less distorted and imperfect; it is also more gibbose than the smaller
examples. Since the publication of the former portions of this Monograph more
extended information respecting this and other allied species comprised in the proposed
genus Homomya of Agassiz has led to the conclusion that they cannot be assigned to the
genus J/yacites, of which they possess neither the external granulated tegument nor the
peculiar characters of the hinge.

When the surface of JZyacites has been denuded of the granulated tegument it is
smooth, with irregular, longitudinal laminee, whereas Pholadomya and Homomya have a
wrinkled or corrugated surface.

The genus Homomya was intended by Agassiz to include shells whose forms
resemble those of the more lengthened Pholadomyas, but which are destitute of radiating
costa, and have usually a thicker test, the hinge being identical with that of Pholadomya,
usually, indeed, more massive; but although the sides of the valves are destitute of
coste, it occasionally happens that a few delicate, radiating lines, more or less obscurely
marked, are visible upon the umbones, but vanish before they reach the middle of the

BIVALVIA. 89

valves. Examples of this are supplied by the large Liassic Homomya ventricosa, Ag.,
by Homomya Vezelayi, D’Arch., and by Homomya crassiuscula, Mor. and Lyc. The
hinge of the latter shell exhibits its perfect identity with that of Pholadomya. It is
therefore evident that Homomya cannot claim a generic separation ; but that, viewed as a
subgenus or section of Pholadomya, the name may conveniently be retained. Myacites
Vezelayi, page 111, and Myacites crassiusculus, page 112, should therefore also be removed
to Homomya.

ADDENDA.

A portion of the text of this Supplement passed through the hands of the printer long
prior to the execution of the plates; and during this lengthened interval many additional
testacea were placed at the disposal of the author, including a considerable series from the
Forest Marble of the counties of Wilts, Somerset, and Dorset, which had recently been
disengaged from the investing matrix by the exertions of W. Walton, Esq., of Bath,
obtained by that gentleman, and by the late John Kilvert, Esq., of the same place. This
fine collection has yielded many new forms, and also some superior examples of others
that had previously been figured from specimens less suitable for the purpose; advantage
has been taken of the opportunity thus afforded to give additional illustrations. The
descriptions of the more recently acquired fossils could not, therefore, for the most part, be
placed in their proper order, and necessarily form Addenda to the Supplement.

Allied to Cerithium, Potamides, Turritella, Omphalia, Rissoa, and Aclis ; from the
two former it is separated by the absence of an anterior and posterior canal, the thickened
and produced margins of the aperture distinguish it from Turritella, and from the

of the outer lip, from Rissoa by the many-whirled figure and produced lips, from Aclis
by the costated or spined volutions, cylindrical last volution, and produced aperture.

Scalaria (2) minuta and Cerithium pygmeum, Buvignier, from the Calcaire 4 Astartes of the
department of the Moselle. In selecting a name for this proposed genus, I have much
pleasure in adopting the suggestion of Mr. Walton, and dedicate it to the memory of the
late John Kilvert, Esq., of Bath, whose researches in the Paleontology of the Jurassic
rocks of the southern counties resulted in the acquisition of a fine and instructive

collection of the Mollusca.

Kinvertia putcura, Lyc. Tab. XLIV, fig, 4; Tab. XLI, figs. 12, 12 a.
Cerituium? PULCHRUM, p. 10, of this Supplement.

The fine collection of Forest Marble shells forwarded by the kindness of Mr. Walton,
contains many specimens of this Kilvertia which exhibit much variability in their orna-
mentation, and are upwards of three times the linear dimensions of the Minchinhampton
examples; the Laycock shells having been obtained by washing layers of clay and shale ;
there is an entire absence of that abrasion of the surface to which oolitic fossils have so
frequently been subjected ; additional figures of this fine species will be found Tab. XLI,
figs. 12, 12a. The figure of the aperture in shells of the same size also presents some
variability, the typical suborbicular figure becomes sub-quadrate, and in other instances 1s
somewhat pointed at the two extremities, but in the young condition apparently the

aperture is always orbicular.

Shell small, elongated, pupzeform or lessening at both the extremities, volutions (6?) wide,
flattened or very slightly convex, the sutures well impressed, aperture small, suborbicular ;
the lips continuous without undulation ; longitudinal coste (about 7) straight, rounded,
and but slightly elevated, indistinct upon the latter volutions, knotted where they are
crossed by encircling lines, of which each volution has about seven, regular and conspicuous ;
the costz are not continuous, neither do their extremities exactly correspond at the sutures
of the successive volutions, they are more prominent upon the upper half of each volution ;
the apex is imperfect, the first volution having disappeared.

Allied to Kilvertia strangulata=Cerithium strangulatum, D’Arch., from which it is
distinguished by the smaller dimensions, the greater elongation of the spire, and by the
costze, which are much smaller, more depressed, and do not form continuous elevations,

AMBERLEYA CAPITANEA, Goldf., sp. Tab. XLL fig. 1.

Part I, p. 65, contains a correct description of this species (Zwrbo capitaneus, Goldf.),
which is not uncommon in the Supra-liassic sands and the Inferior Oolite of the southern
counties ; Mr. Walton has also forwarded two small examples obtained in the Forest
Marble of Laycock, and of Pound Pill. The shell figured Tab. IX, Part I, fig. 33, was
referred doubtfully to this species, of which it was supposed to be a badly preserved
example ; subsequent examinations of other specimens from the same locality have proved
that this view was erroneous, and that it is a distinct species ; a description of this latter
shell will be found in this Supplement (p. 19) under the title of Amberleya Jurassi.

PLEUROTOMARIA PAGODUS, Var. DEPAUPERATA, Gr. Ool. Mon., Pal. Soc., 1850, part 1,
pl. 10, fig. 9, p. 77.

The shell figured in the first part of this Monograph as a doubtful variety of
Pleurotomaria pagodus, Desl., has, by the aid of other specimens, been clearly shown to be
a different shell, which does not belong to the genus Pleurotomaria. Very few examples
have hitherto been obtained, all of which are more or less imperfect, have suffered com-
pression, or have been indifferently preserved ; however, by comparing one with another,
the distinctive characters have been fully ascertained.

A Forest Marble specimen, slightly compressed, is now figured; compared with the
original of the former figure the spire is less elevated, the ornamentation of the surface
and of the base are better preserved.

The description formerly given applies to the species of Deslongchamps, the following

The last volution has the surface above the angle much flattened, and rendered rugose
by the nodulous elevations ; the encircling coste are closely arranged, somewhat irregular,
and become smaller towards the base of the last volution. In the specimen figured the
outer lip is imperfect.

Genus—Onvstus, Humphrey.

Shell conical, with several volutions, which are flattened or are rendered somewhat
concave by an expansion of their lower borders, which overhang and conceal the suture ;
the lower border of the last volution is produced horizontally to support a membranous
expansion ; the surface has striations, or radiately undulating lines, which are somewhat
irregular. ‘The base is concave towards the outer border, and convex towards the centre ;
the umbilical orifice is sometimes large, but in other instances small, and becomes nearly
concealed by advance of growth; the aperture is depressed and ovate. Some Tertiary and
Recent species have the spire encrusted with fragments of shells or stones, which obscure
the ornamentation.

Xenophora, Fischer, and Phorus, Montfort, are synonyms of this genus.

concavo, concentrice et radiatim striato, umbilico amplo.

Shell subconical, wider than high; spire moderately elevated obtuse; volutions four
or five, narrow, slightly concave, with about twenty-four to twenty-six longitudinal rounded
and elevated coste ; the base of every alternate costa forms, with the lower expanded mar-
gin of each volution, a projecting process, which renders the lower margins of the volu-
tions undulated; the base is expanded, slightly concave, concentrically and radiately
striated ; the umbilicus is large.

A pretty species, possessing the generic features strongly defined, more especially the
expansions at the lower border of each volution, which impart a pagoda-like aspect to the
spire. Only two other British Jurassic species are known, viz , Zrochus pyramidatus, Phil.,
= Trochus lamellosus D’Orb., a more depressed species, which occurs in the Supra-Liassic
sands, and in the Inferior Oolite of Gloucestershire and of Yorkshire; the other is the
Trochus ornatissimus, D’Orb., with a very elevated spire, and inordinately expanded at
the lower border; it occurs in the Inferior Oolite of the Cotteswolds, and in the White
Oolite of Ponton, Lincolnshire. Our species is most nearly allied to Zrochus ornatissimus,
but with a shorter spire, fewer volutions, and with prominent overwrapping expansions at
the lower border of each volution. Other foreign Jurassic species are Zrochus heliacus,
D’Orb., 7. Zytirus, D’Orb., Solarium callaudianum, D’Orb., Onustus exul, Eug. Desl.,
and Onustus liasinus, B. Desl. None of these species exhibit those agglutinations of
shells and stones which are so characteristic of the Tertiary and Recent examples of
Onustus.

three or four narrow encircling little costae, which are impressed by delicate oblique stria-
tions ; the base is wide, concave, with a distinct umbilicus, with fine concentrie striations ;
the outer lip and sinus have not been obtained perfect.

The height is equal to about three fifths of the basal diameter.

A small species, remarkable for the great breadth of the mesial band, and the pro-
minence of the infero-marginal smooth carina.

Acrronina Lutwu, p. 27. Tab. XXXI, fig. 16, and Tab. XLI, fig. 18.

A fine series of examples kindly communicated by Mr. Walton, and collected by him
in the Forest Marble of Laycock, has enabled the artist to illustrate the more striking
varieties of figure. The differences in the elevation of the spire are so considerable that
any measurement of the spiral angle is useless; the sides of the volutions are always
flattened, with a mesial angle ; in short spired examples the space anterior to the angle is
nearly concealed, and the space posterior to it is nearly horizontal.

Another remarkable instance of variability in the elevation of the spire in the same

convex ; the last volution ovate ; aperture elliptical, its base narrow ; the surface, with very
delicate, closely arranged, perpendicular lines, which render the surface slightly rough.

As the outer lip is much broken in both the specimens examined, the figure of the
anterior extremity of the aperture is rather doubtful, and the general figure of the shell is
more fusiform than is usual in this genus; the columella is rounded, and quite destitute
of any plication.

Shell with the free valve flattened, but solid and thick; its borders are raised inter-
nally, rendering the inner surface somewhat concave ; the figure is ovately triangular, but
short, with the apex erect and obtuse; the hinge sulcus is wide and superficial. The
affixed valve is unknown.

Several large specimens of this ponderous but flattened oyster have been obtained by
Mr, Walton, including the monstrosity, Tab. XXXIV, fig. 1 @. The height is greater than
the opposite measurement ; it has some resemblance to O. dedtoidea, but less flattened, not |
transverse, and with the umbones not oblique; and as the specimens are constant in their °
general characters, there can be no doubt of its distinctness from that species.

Genus— Harpar—Parkinson, 1811. Deslongchamps, 1858.

Shell irregular, inequivalve, attached by the umbo of the larger or right valve ; surface
radiately ribbed or smooth, usually with concentric, irregular, lamellose plications, imbricated
or tuberculated ; borders of the valves close fitting and irregular. .

Hinge in the attached valve consisting of a large, flattened, triangular plate, traversed
by a central perpendicular or oblique furrow to receive the ligament, with somewhat
elevated borders, exterior to which are slightly marked diverging sulcations to receive the
elevated borders of the ligamental groove in the other valve; the outer borders of the
plate form lengthened and elevated dental processes.

Hinge in the left or free valve with a triangular plate traversed mesially by the liga-
mental groove, the borders to which are elevated and but slightly diverging ; exterior to
these are strongly impressed grooves to receive the dental processes of the other valve ;
the dental processes forming the diverging borders of the plate are but little produced.

The hinge plate in each valve has transverse striations of growth.

The adductor scar is round, placed posterior to the middle of the valve, and strongly
marked ; the pallial sinus is simple.

The genus Harpax having originally been imperfectly described by Parkinson, and
founded upon a single small species, remained but little noticed and accepted by few
authors until the year 1858, when it was re-established and amply illustrated in a copious
work* on the ‘ Fossil Plicatulas and allied Genera,’ by that eminent and veteran paleeon-
tologist M. Eudes, E. Deslongchamps, who to the long list of memoirs in which he has so
ably developed and illustrated the Jurassic fossils of Normandy, has added the present,
which probably surpasses all the former in the critical acumen and lengthened researches
which it has necessitated. Of the fifteen species of Harpax known to M. Deslongchamps
all are Liassic, with one exception (//. scapha), from the ferrugmous (Inferior ?) Oolite of
Longwy ; the following fine species is therefore the first example of the genus in the

oolites of this country.

crassa, lamellis ut in valva altera, tabula cardinali dentibus prominentibus, longissimis,
obliquis, sulcis conformibus.

Shell of large dimensions, the right valve with a very large surface of attachment, sub-
auriculated, thick, ovate, convex, the surface radiately costated, with thickened, crowded,
imbricated and elevated lamella of growth; the triangular hinge plate is very large,
oblique, transversely striated; the diverging outer grooves which receive the dental pro-
cesses of the other valve are large, deeply impressed, and exhibit in their course three
deeper portions or pits adapted to the successive positions occupied by the anterior pro-
jecting or bossed extremities of the dental processes in the free valve ; the adductor scar is
very large and posterior.

The left or free valve is thick, but less convex than the other ; the hinge area occupies
upwards of two fifths of the length of the valve; the ligamental groove is narrow and
deeply marked, but the other furrows are superficial; the outer diverging dental pro-
cesses are lengthened and conspicuous, terminating anteriorly in projecting bosses ; the
adductor scar is prominent and sub-central. In the specimen figured with the valves in
contact, the right valve has adhered to a smaller specimen of the same species, whose
exposed inner surface exhibits the usual characters of the /e/¢ valve.

Our species is allied to Harpar calvus and H. senescens, Desl., from the Middle Lias
of Calvados, but has more prominent rugose lamellz, and a larger hinge area in both the
valves. In the left valve the anterior termination of the dental processes in bosses with
corresponding pits in the furrows of the other valve, has no counterpart in the figures or
descriptions of M. Deslongchamps, but as they do not appear to be equally persistent in
all specimens their importance can only be small.

pressed, and is not uncommonly traversed by two or three radiating furrows, and is in
some instances separated from the other portion of the surface by a distinct keel. The

folds of growth upon the sides of the valves are also remarkably, conspicuous, rendering
the surface rugose, and the basal sinuation is very strongly defined; in some of the more
aberrant forms the posterior side is so much shortened that the umbones are nearly
mesial ; they are then much elevated, and an oblique keel descends to the infero-posterior
extremity. Our illustration faithfully represents this variety, numerous specimens of
which have been placed at our disposal by the kindness of Mr. Walton.

NOTES AND CORRECTIONS.

Fossils figured in the former parts of this Monograph from the Coast of Yorkshire, and
attributed to the Great Oolite.

Ir may now be stated, as the general conviction of Palzeontologists who have critically studied the
subject, that the Testacea of all the marine beds intercalated with the important but local plant-bearing
shales and sandstones of the Yorkshire coast, intermediate the Cornbrash and the Dogger, constitute an
Inferior Oolite fauna, but that the mineral character of these deposits and their sequence are peculiar to the
locality ; it is found also, as might be expected in deposits so isolated in their general conditions, that the
fauna of these several marine beds, although undoubtedly pertaining to the Inferior Oolite, cannot be
arranged with precision upon any corresponding horizons of the same formation, either in Britain or upon
the Continent. But in discarding the correlative value of the minor subdivisions, it appears that they may
be assigned approximately to those groups of beds which constitute the upper portion of the Inferior
Oolite, and which haye been divided by Quenstedt, Oppel, and others, into two distinct stages, the lower of
which is characterised by the presence of Ammonites Humphriesianus, the upper by Ammonites Parkinsoni.
Upon the coast of Yorkshire these Ammonites, however, have occurred in the same bed, and the number of
marine floors is so few that they cannot be considered as representing the two superior stages in the
entity of their mass and of their fauna; their deficiencies are more especially remarkable in the rarity of
the Brachiopoda and of the Ammonites.

These conclusions have been arrived at by an investigation of a series of details so extensive and
decisive in their results as to admit of no uncertainty upon the subject. That the marine beds in question
should have been assigned to the Great Oolite upwards of thirty years since by the author of the ‘ Geology
of Yorkshire’ will not excite surprise in any one who is able to recall to memory the rudimentary condition
of Paleontology at that period, and the absolute ignorance which then prevailed of the Testacea of the
Great Oolite; that the Paleontology of the Jurassic portion of the work in question constituted a great
advance upon the previous work of Messrs. Young and Bird was at once recognised, and the author candidly
stated that he assigned these marine intercalated beds to the Great Oolite solely from their position—higher
than certain beds of undoubted Inferior Oolite, and lower than the Cornbrash. The progress of knowledge
tending to arrange them with the Inferior Oolite, was gradual. Following the work of Professor Phillips, in
1839 appeared the two well-known memoirs of Professor Williamson on the distribution of organic remains
in the Oolitic rocks of Yorkshire, in which the subordinate beds of the Lower Oolites and their organic

116 SUPPLEMENT TO GREAT OOLITE MOLLUSCA.

contents are detailed with all the care and precision that might be expected from a person who had been
long resident in the locality. Within the few years following appeared the elaborate works of Goldfuss,
Ziethen, Roemer, Dunker, Agassiz, Deshayes, Sir R. Murchison’s second edition of the ‘ Geology of Chel-
tenham,’ the ‘ Catalogue’ of Professor Morris, the memoir of D’Archiac on the Aisne, several memoirs by M.
Eudes Deslongchamps on the fossils of the Oolites of Normandy, a portion of the ‘ Paléontologie Francaise’
of D’Orbigny, Quenstedt’s ‘Wurtemburg,’ and the ‘Lethea’ of Bronn. These works, together with others
which bear less directly upon the subject of the Lower Oolites, tended very materially to extend and correct
the knowledge of their fossils. During the same period also the fossils of the Great Oolite in Gloucester-
shire had become extensively dispersed, and were compared with those from the Yorkshire coast, collected
and distributed with great perseverance by Mr. Bean during a lengthened period. The first published
results of influences so potential appeared in 1850, when M. d’Orbigny, in his ‘ Prodrome de Paléontologie,’
placed many of the so-called Great Oolite Yorkshire fossils in his Etage Bajocien, or Inferior Oolite. In
the same year appeared the first part of the monograph on the Great Oolite Mollusca, in the introductory
remarks to which the authors pointed out the affinity of the Yorkshire so-called Great Oolite fauna to that
of the Inferior Oolite, and, as a measure of precaution, were careful to keep the doubtful Yorkshire fossils
distinct, both in plates and descriptions, from the Great Oolite fossils of the south of England. The various
works and lesser memoirs upon the Lower Jurassic rocks published between 1850 and the present time
would of themselves constitute a considerable list. Without enumerating them, it will be sufficient to
mention that, in 1856-8, Dr. Albert Oppel, in his remarkable work, ‘Juraformation, placed the Yorkshire
Phytiferous beds with the Inferior Oolite, and considered that they did not even represent the highest stage
of that formation. In 1857 the present writer expressed, in a little work, ‘The Cotteswold Hills,’ convic-
tions of similar import. In 1859 Dr. Wright enforced similar views, accompanied by extensive details and
lists of Inferior Oolite fossils, in a contribution to the ‘Journal of the Geological Society.’ The previous
Great Oolite Monograph contains four plates of these Yorkshire intercalated marine Testacea ; some of
which, however, pass upwards into the Great Oolite of the Cotteswolds and into the Cornbrash, as will be
ascertained from the descriptions. In excluding them from the present Supplementary Monograph, the
writer begs to state that he consented to their admission into the former work with great reluctance, in
deference to the opinion then prevalent that they pertained to the Great Oolite, but with a strong impression
(formed in 1839, upon perusing the memoir of Professor Williamson) that they constituted an Inferior
Oolite fauna.

The Palzeontologists of France, in their expositions of the Great Oolite fossils of that country, have,
within the last few years, fully proved, by the general identity and association of species, that the fauna of
the Minchinhampton beds is not exceptional or local merely, as some have supposed, but represents a very
ample and characteristic series of Mollusca, a large number of which are also found in other and distant
localities at the same geological horizon. Other not less interesting and important facts, confirmatory of
this view, have recently been afforded by researches in English strata of the same epoch. The Oxfordshire
railway sections of the Great Oolite and Forest Marble have yielded to Mr. Whiteaves a varied series of
Testacea, a list of which he has kindly communicated to me, together with many of the fossils, including
those which are not known in the Minchinhampton beds; the result is, that of 122 Great Oolite and 48
Forest Marble shells, in all 140 species, obtained by that gentleman in the Oxfordshire beds, upwards of
114 are also common to the Minchinhampton beds. An extensive series of Forest Marble shells from
the clay beds of Wiltshire, Somersetshire, and Dorsetshire, liberally placed at my disposal by Mr. Walton,
has produced a larger number of novel forms, as might have been expected from the very different litho-
logical conditions of the deposit; nevertheless there is still a majority of Minchinhampton shells, and the
entire assemblage is even more remotely allied to the Yorkshire fauna than is that of Minchinhampton.
The general discordance, therefore, of the Yorkshire and southern faunas of the supposed Great Oolite
within so small an area as England would lead us to infer their separation chronologically, even if we were

unable to assign the northern series to that of an older and well-known era.

Cornbrash of the Coast of Yorkshire: its Mollusca.

The Mollusca of the Yorkshire Cornbrash offer, in their association, some marked contrasts with those of
the southern counties and of the Continent upon the same geological horizon. In the southern localities
the marine floors, crowded almost exclusively with Brachiopoda, is the predominating feature that arrests
the attention ; in the northern the Conchifera constitute the great majority ; the Brachiopoda, few indivi-
dually, are reduced almost to the two species Terebratula lagenalis and T. obovata, the latter being
represented by forms dwarfed to about a third of the linear dimensions which the species attains in
Wiltshire. The condition of the Testacea also offers some interesting contrasts. In Wiltshire the
Conchifera are usually in the condition of casts, of which a large proportion are compressed and distorted ;
in Yorkshire the hard, dark-coloured limestone has preserved the more delicate external characters in a very

118 SUPPLEMENT TO GREAT OOLITE MOLLUSCA.

perfect manner, including the thin tests of Pholadomya, Myacites, Gresslya, Goniomya, and Cercomya,
together with the outer, granulated tegument of the four latter genera; and when the matrix is less hard,
even their internal hinge characters may be disclosed. The Gasteropoda are few, both as to species and
individuals ; the Cephalopoda are, with the exception of a small Belemnite, limited to Ammonites macro-
cephalus, which affords great variety in the details of its figure and ornamentation, but which never attains
to the large dimensions of Wiltshire specimens.

Its Mollusca, viewed comprehensively, may be regarded as a transitive series, a chain of life serving to
connect the fauna of the Inferior Oolite with that of the Oxfordian rocks, comprising a considerable
proportion of the former, perhaps an equal number of special forms, a much smaller number of species
which pass upwards into the Oxfordian beds, and a still lessening proportion of forms which are recognised
in the Great Oolite or Forest Marble, but these latter consist almost entirely of shells which pass upwards
from the Inferior Oolite.

Minute Testacea of the Great Oolite and Forest Marble.

Only a portion of these have been selected for illustration, others, inconveniently minute, having been
rejected upon that account. That some of these minute forms attain to much larger dimensions under
different conditions may be inferred from the fact that many minute Gasteropoda and Conchifera associated
with them are only dwarfed forms of well-known Great Oolite species, which in other beds are of the
dimensions figured in the former parts of this Monograph.

Forest Marble Testacea.

The following note, kindly communicated by Mr. Walton, describes the localities of the Forest Marble
cited in this Monograph :

“The principal localities from which these fossils have been obtained are Farleigh, Hungerford, in
Somersetshire; Pound Pill, near Corsham, and Laycock, in Wiltshire; and Burton Bradstock, about five
miles from Bridport. The lithological character of the Forest Marble is very various, demonstrating the
littoral character of the deposit, which is shown also by the trails of animals and the numerous remains of
what can hardly be anything but Fucoids. The best locality at Farleigh is a superficial cutting opposite
Wick Farmhouse, made in forming the new Warminster Road, and the bed is a crumbly, shelly marl, and
the fossils, when first found, apparently mere lumps of clay. In the small quarries near Hinton Charter-
house, Cumberwell, and Philips Norton, the rock is a hard, calcareo-arenaceous stone, and at Pound Pill
it is as hard and more intractable than Carboniferous limestone. At the railroad-cutting near Laycock it
is a cream-coloured clay, containing shells better preserved than usual, and from this nearly all the small
shells have been procured. In many places the Forest Marble is a mere mass of broken shells, and
frequently formed almost exclusively of crushed Rhynchonelle. At Burton Bradstock the Forest
Marble clay rests on the lower beds of the Inferior Oolite, and most of the fossils from that locality were
picked up from a bank on the sea-shore. I have never found an Ammonite in the Forest Marble, and only
one very doubtful trace in the Cornbrash.”

Testacea from the Clays of the Forest Marble compared with those from the Limestones of the Great
Oolite.—As might be anticipated from the widely differing mineral conditions of the two deposits, they are
tenanted to a great extent by different races of Molluscs. ‘The fossils figured in this Supplement from the
Forest Marble by no means represent the whole of the additional species contained in the clay beds of that
stage, but such only as from their state of preservation are suitable for our plates ; a large proportion have

suffered from vertical compression and consequent distortion, so that in many instances it has only been
possible, even with the choice of numerous specimens, to select one or two as representatives of their
respective species, and some tablets covered with shells have with reluctance been rejected when specific
forms could only have been made up by the aid of doubtful restorations. Our note on the age of the
gray limestone of the Yorkshire coast alludes to the general identity of species which obtains between the
Testacea of the Great Oolite and Forest Marble /imestones of Gloucestershire and of Oxfordshire; they
form, in fact, but one fauna, the most prominent species of which are abundant only over very limited
areas. In the Forest Marble clays we find that the great mass of the organic forms belong to but few
genera; the deficiencies in this respect are very striking. The large collection of Mr. Walton contains not a
single Ammonite or Belemnite ; of Gasteropoda there is almost an entire absence of Nerinza, Cylindrites,
Ceritella, and Trocholoma, genera so abundant and varied in the limestones; these deficiencies are to a
great extent compensated for by an abundance of special forms of Phasianella and of Acteonina, which is
the more remarkable as the latter genus is everywhere one of the most rare forms of the limestones. The
genus Cerithium is abundant, consisting of forms less dwarfed than is usually seen in the limestones. The
genera Nerita, Trochus, and Monodonta, are well represented, but the two latter genera for the most part
by forms special to the clays. Of the Conchifera the clays produce Tancredia comparatively in small
numbers and apparently of few species, but their condition is usually such as will not admit of a rigid
scrutiny; a similar paucity applies to the Arcas, Trigonias, Limas, and Pectens. Perna, Gervillia,
Pteroperna, and Astarte, are for the most part represented by species special to the clays or rare in the
limestones ; Pholadomya, Homomya, Myacites, and Goniomya, appear to constitute the rarest generic forms
in the deposit ; Cercomya and Thracia, perhaps, are absent altogether. Wanting these, the clay banks
swarmed with a profusion of Nucule and Cyprine, usually of forms differing from those of the limestones.
Perhaps about 25 per cent. would be a fair estimate of the testaceous species special to the clays;
but taking only the more common forms of each deposit, the differences between them are much more
marked and important than would be inferred from such a proportion of species,
The following, probably, have not been obtained in any other deposit than the Forest Marble :

have respectively attained.

Adlaria trifida, Part I, p. 21, add the following to the description:—The first two or three
volutions are longitudinally costated, the transverse striations extend even upon the caudal and digital
processes.

Pholodomya oblita, Part 11, p. 142*; Tab. XII, fig.5. It is now ascertained that the specimen figured
was erroneously assigned to the Great Oolite; its true position is in seams of sandy marl near to the base of
the Inferior Oolite, in which position it occurs at various localities in the vicinity of Stroud and Nailsworth;
the officers of the Ordnance Geological Survey have also procured it from a similar position in Somer-
setshire. It sometimes attains very large dimensions, as is exemplified by a remarkable specimen in the
Bristol Museum, which has been mistaken, as in other instances, for the aged condition of Pholadomya
fidicula, Sow. The delicate, radiating lines are scarcely distinguishable upon the aged and inflated
examples of P. oblita, but are always acute and conspicuous upon P. fidicula.

Trigonia decorata, Lyc., Part II, p. 133, Tab. XV, fig. 1, alter the title to Trigonia signata, Ag., a
fine species, abundant in the Upper Trigonia Grit of the Inferior Oolite in the Cotteswolds, and more
rarely in the gray limestone of the coast of Yorkshire ; it occurs in a similar geological position at various
Continental localities. Professor Quenstedt has figured it from Wurtemberg under the name of Trigonia
clavellata. It has never been found to pass upwards into the Great Oolite.

Patella paradozxa, Part I, p. 90, Tab. XII, fig. 2. This rare species is the Patella lata, Sow., ‘Min.
Con.,’ t. 484, fig. 1, p. 133. |The compressed and imperfect specimen figured in the latter work will
account for our having failed at an earlier period to identify it with the very few examples which have been
obtained at Minchinhampton.

Tancredia curtansata, Part II, p. 93, Tab. XIII, figs. 7, 7 a, 76, alter the title to Tancredia sub-
eurtansata ; it is much less inflated, the umbones are more elevated and pointed, the posterior side is more
produced, and it is destitute of the large longitudinal plications which distinguish the species of the Coral
Rag ; the latter is also a much larger shell, only two specimens of which have come to my knowledge, the
type specimen in the York Museum, the other in the fine collection of Mr. Leckenby at Scarborough.
Tancredia Lycetti, Oppel, from the Inferior Oolite of Wurtemberg and of Gloucestershire, is also nearly
allied to the Coral Rag shell, and appears to be equally rare.

Tancredia axiniformis, p. 93, Tab. XII, fig. 6, and Tab. XII, fig. 7, alter the title to Tancredia
extensa, Lyc. In this instance the name proposed in my first notice of the Genus Tancredia, ‘ Ann. and
Mag. Nat. Hist.,’ Dec., 1850, must be retained, as an examination of many Yorkshire specimens of
T. aviniformis leaves no doubt that it is a distinet species, which occurs in the Inferior Oolite, both in that
county and in Gloucestershire; compared with the Great Oolite 7’. ewtensa, it is shorter, more flattened,
approaching more nearly to the outline of 7’. drevis, but with much less convexity.

Tab. XV, Part II, figs. 2, 2a, alter the title to Ceromya Bajociana, D’Orb.; the figure represents the
usual size attained by this Ceromya in the Inferior Oolite of the Yorkshire coast; in the Cotteswolds the
same formation produces it of far larger dimensions, and justifies the terms in which it is described by
D’Orbigny in his ‘Prodrome,’ p. 274, as follows :—‘ Magnifique espéce courte, renflée a crochets trés-

contournés, ornée de stries concentriques d’accroisement, comme rostrée ala région anale.” It is the
Isocardia concentrica of Phillips, ‘Geol. York.,’ i, pl. xi, fig. 40, but not of Sowerby. The Yorkshire
examples may, therefore, be considered as dwarfed forms of this really magnificent shell, the southern
examples of which have the distinguishing features of the species much more strongly marked ; the umbones,
more especially, are larger and more elevated, the posterior extremity being also more rostrated. It
is worthy of remark that this degenerated form is the only one of the genus that has been obtained from
the whole of the Jurassic rocks of Yorkshire.

Anatina undulata and Anatina plicatella, Tab. II, Part II, transpose figs. 6 and 4 upon the tab. ;
the references to them at p. 118, and also upon the page facing the tab., will then be correct.

Pholadomya ovulum, Part II, Tab. XIII, fig. 12, alter the title to Pholadomya ovalis, Sow.; also at
p. 122.
Turbo capitaneus, Goldf., Part I, p. 65, erase the words ‘‘ Tab. IX, fig. 33,” and alter to ‘‘ Supplement,

Tab. XLI, fig. 1.’’ The index to Tab. IX, fig. 33, should be altered to Amberleya Jurassi, Supplement,
Pag:

Stomatia? Buvignieri, Part I, p. 85, alter the generic title to Nerita. Another figure is given,

Part II, Tab. VI, fig. 15, p. 67. L agree with Dr. Oppel (‘Juraformation,’ p. 487) in the propriety
of separating this Lucina from Z. Bellona; its title should, therefore, be Lucina Lycetti, as suggested by
Dr. Oppel.

Cerithium Roissii, Part I, p. 32, alter the generic title to Fibula. See p. 10 of this Supplement.

Myacites crassiusculus, Part I, p. 112, alter the generic title to Homomya. See p. 89 of this Supple-
ment.

Myacites Vezelayi, Part I, p. 111, alter the generic title to Homomya. See p. 88 of this Supplement.
Myacites gibbosus, Part I, p. 138, alter the generic title to Homomya. See p. 88 of this Supplement.

Corbula involuta, Part I, p. 97, alter the title to Corhula Buckmani. See p. 63 of this Supplement.
Corbula Buckmani will be found refigured, Tab. XXXIV, figs. 6, 6 a.

Part II, p. 123, erase the first reference to Pholadomya Semanni, Tab. II, fig. 1, which is P.
solitaria.

Part II, p. 28, Tab. IV, fig. 12. This little shell, erroneously ascribed to the Modiola pulcherrima of
Roemer, has been rectified by Professor Morris, ‘Catal.,’ p. 210, under the appellation of M. Lycetti.

Compared with the allied species of the Hilsthone, it is smaller, more inflated, the radiating lines are more

narrow or more distantly arranged, the test is very thin, and the specimens are usually imperfect.

Mytilus (Modiola) tumidus, Part II, p. 37, Tab. IV, fig. 5. It is stated that the rude figure of a
Modiola, Young and Bird, ‘ Geol. York. Coast,’ pl. vii, fig. 10, is intended to represent this shell, and
that Professor Phillips inserted it in his list cf Yorkshire fossils, ‘Geol. York.,’ i, p. 171, in the following
terms :—‘‘ Modiola ungulata, Coralline Great and Inferior Oolite.’ It is not uncommon in the upper stage
of the Inferior Oolite in the Cotteswold Hills.

Purpuroidea Moreausea, Part I, p. 27, Tab. IV, figs. 1—4, alter the title to P. Morrisea. The
publication of the splendid work of M. Buvignier on the Paleontology of the Meuse has shown that we
were mistaken in assigning our Minchinhampton species to that figured in a very indifferent manner in
the little memoir by M. Buvignier in 1843. The new specific name selected for our shell by the latter
author should therefore be adopted.

Part I, Tab. II, figs. 3, 3 a, p. 12. The Ammonite obtained at the base of the Great Oolite, and
referred doubtfully to 4. macrocephalus, is now ascertained to be A. viator, D’Orb., ‘ Pal. Fr. Terr. Jurass.,’

122 SUPPLEMENT TO GREAT OOLITE MOLLUSCA.

tab. 172, of which numerous specimens are now in the British Museum, obtained from a similar geological
position in Somersetshire ; in some of these the last volution quite conceals all the others, leaving only a
small umbilical orifice; the absence of coste upon the inner portion of the last volution distinguishes it
from 4. macrocephalus. Dr. Oppel (‘Juraformation,’ p. 478) proposes for it the new title of 4. Morrisi,
which, in accordance with the above views, must remain as a synonym of JA. viator.

Acteonina? parvula, Part I, p. 104, alter the generic title to Ceritella.

Part II, Tab. 5, figs. 18 @,19 a. Both these figures represent the young condition of Trigonia
Goldfussii. :

Trochus pileolus, Part I, p. 66, Tab. 10, fig. 5. Additional specimens have proved that the smooth-
ness of the surface is accidental; traces of encircling striations are sometimes visible; the shell then
becomes identical with Zuréo obtusus, Sow., of which Trochus Bixa, D’Orb., is also a synonym.

Nerita hemispherica, Roem., Tab XI, figs. 14, 16; Nerita minuta, Sow., Tab. XI, fig. 19. A com-
parison of very ample materials, including all the connecting forms, leaves no choice but to regard N.
hemispherica as the adult shell of N. minuta. The preservation of the epidermal pattern of coloration has
materially tended to this result; the older shells, as in fig. 14, with their strong, rugose plications, thickened
columellar lip, and entire absence of the epidermal coat, appear at first sight sufficiently distinct, but from
these we pass to specimens of less advanced growth, as in fig. 16, without plications, but still possessing
the callosity upon the inner lip; some in this state, however, retain portions of the external tegument, in
which may be traced remains of the two broad bands of white between the three of dark-coloured pigment,
the latter consisting of transverse, wrinkled lines. From these to the smallest forms the transition is easy ;
the latter are most commonly more ovate, but this is by no means an invariable feature, nor are the adult
shells very constant in the degree in which the spire is produced. The minute forms, which usually retain
the epidermal coat, are smooth and shining; with advance of growth the shell exhibits continual and
considerable increase of thickness. The two extremes of aspect are fairly represented in figs. 14 and 19.
Nerita minuta is so inappropriate a name for the adult shell, that it seems desirable to adopt Nerita
hemispherica, although the former has priority.

Fusus ? subnodulosus, Part I, Tab. V, fig. 9, p. 23, alter the generic title to Brachytrema.

Phasianella conica, Part I, Tab. XI, fig. 30, p. 74; Phasianella acutiuscula, Tab. XI, fig. 28, and
Tab. IX, fig. 2. An examination of numerous additional specimens has led to the conclusion that these
forms should be regarded as only varieties of one species, for although some examples are even more
lengthened than the figures of P. acutiuscula, others connect the typical specimens of each variety in a
very perfect manner.

Genus Brachytrema, Part I, p. 24. Further information has shown that the generic description before
given should be slightly modified ; the outer lip was stated to be thin, which is correct as far as regards the
greater number of specimens ; but some species, as B. varicosa and B. pygmea, acquired at certain arrests
of growth thickened outer lips or varices, as in Triton; from the latter genus they are distinguished by the
shorter trochiform spire and absence of denticulations upon the borders of the aperture.

Turbo? pygmeus, Tab. IX, Part I, figs. 29, 29 a, alter the title to Brachytrema pygmea. The doubt
as to the genus expressed in Part I, p. 65, has been justified in an example with the aperture perfect, figured
by M. Piette, ‘Bull. de la Soc. Géol. de France,’ 2 ser., pl. xv, fig. 21, under the name of Brachytrema
brevis ; the base is strongly striated, and the aperture much contracted.

Alaria levigata, p. 17, Tab. Ill, figs. 3, 3a; Tab. XLI, fig. 13, alter the title to Alaria Myurus,
Desl., sp. It was stated at p. 17 ‘that in everything excepting its smooth surface this shell agrees with the
Rostellaria Myurus of Deslongchamps.”’ A specimen recently obtained exhibits some encircling striations
upon the upper portions of the two larger volutions; the sole distinction, therefore, that separated it from

NOTES AND CORRECTIONS. 123

the species of Deslongchamps is thus removed. The specimen figured Tab. XLI, fig. 13, exhibits the first
spine, which is monodactyle; a second and much larger spine, also monodactyle; the third and ultimate
spine being didactyle.

Acteonina ?, Part I, Tab. VIII, fig. 12*, is the young shell of 4. oliveformis, p. 103.

Lima Luciencis, D’Orb., ‘Gr. Ool. Mon.,’ Part II, p. 28, Tab. III, fig. 4. This shell is a synonym of
Lima rudis, Sow. The number of costz vary from eight to eleven; the specimen figured in the ‘ Mineral
Conchology,’ tab. 214, has only seven cost, and the figure is unusually gibbose. Its geological range is
considerable ; it occurs sparingly in the Great Oolite of the Minchinhampton district and in the Cornbrash
of the coast of Yorkshire, but in the Coral Rag of Malton it is moderately abundant.

Sub-genus Crossostoma, Part I, p. 72. Of the three Oolitic species assigned to this proposed sub-genus
of Delphinula, the only one which exhibits the distinctive characters is C. Pratii; the other two forms,
discoideum and heliciforme, were formerly supposed to represent in their apertures the immature condition
of that sub-genus. Subsequent observations of numerous specimens has compelled me to abandon that view,
and to regard discoideum and heliciforme as adult shells, or discoidal forms of smooth Monodonta. Other
examples of Monodonta allied to the Great Oolite forms, but less depressed, have been figured by Messrs.
Hebert and Deslongchamps, in their ‘Memoir on the Kelloway Rock Fossils of Montreuil-Bellay,’ under
the names of Monodonta ovulata and papillata.

Cerithium quadricinctum, Goldf., and C. lineforme, Roem. These two forms must be united into one
species ; individuals with large nodules and with only three distinct rows have been assigned to C. lime-
forme, but, even with these, indications of a fourth row are occasionally to be discovered, and the promi-
nence of the nodules, and their number in each yolution, are very variable. C. quadricinetum has a
considerable geological range, and it occurs also in the Coral Rag of Germany.

Patella suprajurensis, Part I, p. 92, Tab. XII, figs. 9, 9a. I can now only regard this form as a variety
of P. Aubentonensis, in which the lamelle of growth are strongly marked and the cancellated lines have
disappeared. It is also not uncommon to meet with smooth examples of the latter species.

Pholadomya solitaria, Part II, p. 124, Tab. XI, fig. 1, et Tab. XII, fig. 2; erroneously printed P. odlita
upon the reference facing the latter table. Pholadomya oblita is Tab. XII, fig. 5, p. 142*. The variations
of figure and of ornamentation, either separately or combined, are so considerable in the cordiform examples
of Pholadomya, that a large number are indispensable to enable us to legislate upon them with any
confidence; probably P. solitaria is only a variety of P. deltoidea, Sow.
