ANOMIA. 
Anontta crantolaris. 
Since Linneus has recorded his possession of this fossil, 
and since one species (Hening. Monog. Crania, f. 5) alone in 
his entire collection will agree with the published description, 
there can be no doubt of its typical authority. It proves, as 
was surmised by Haninghaus and Deshayes, to be the fossil 
Crania nummulus, and not, as was imagined by Lamarck and 
the majority of writers, a recent brachiopode. Nevertheless, 
had our author lived, he would certainly have confused that 
species with it in his intended new edition, for he has written 
“In mari Mediterraneo supra corallia vivit (?) cranioli figura, 
inferius adherens.” The “nondum viva reperta,’ however, 
sufficiently distinguishes the published species. 
Anowta pecttnata, 
Only one fossil species in the Linnean collection, and that is 
the one still preserved in the box thus marked in the cabinet, 
answers to the description of this shell. Since the species is 
recorded as having been in the possession of our author, no 
reasonable doubt of the typical value of the examples can be 
entertained. Mr. Sharpe, who has carefully examined them, 
has communicated the following synonymy and remarks :—
