Locality. 
In the Lyas—at Pyrton Passage. 
This species appears to be characteristic also of a bed of rubbly lias, near 
the top of the series constituted by that formation; this bed may be traced 
from the vale of Belvoir, on the borders of Rutland, along the borders of Lei- 
cestershire, to the tunnels of the Grand Union Canal at Husband Bosworth, 
and at Crick; thence along the confines of Warwickshire and Northampton- 
shire, by Branston tunnel (on the Oxford Canal) and Shuckborough Park, well 
known for the abundance of these remains. The line of the Oxford Canal con- 
tinues in the same stratum, past Wormleighton Tunnel as far as Claydon; (in 
all the places mentioned it is rich in these fossils), the same bed continues to 
‘Tange round the base of the Cotteswould Hills through Glocestershire, but its 
course has not here been so accurately traced.
