“Tn the Linnean collection are several specimens of this 
fossil, which alone of those present—and its presence in his 
cabinet has been recorded by our author—answers to the de- 
scription inthe ‘Systema.’ ‘The species, which is well known, 
and is found very abundantly in all the beds from the Devonian 
to nearly the bottom of the Silurian System, has received the 
following appellations :— 
“ Anomites reticularis, Wahlenburg, Nov. Act. Soc. Upsal. 
vol. vill. p. 65. 
“ Terebratulites priscus, Schlotheim, Petrefact. pl. 17, f. 2. 
“ Atrypa reticularis, Dalman, Vet. Ac. Handl. 1827, pl. 4, 
f. 2.—Hisinger, Lethea Suecica, pl. 21, f. 11. 
“ Terebratula affinis, Sowerby, Min. Conch. pl. 324, f. 2. 
“ Atrypa affinis, Sowerby, Sil. Syst. pl. 6, f. 5. 
“ Terebratula prisca, Bronn, Lethea Geog. pl. 2, f. 10.—Phil-

“The name of reticularis, being traced back to Linneus,

it has since received.” (Sharpe MSS.)

The Spirifer delineated in our plate (4, f. 2) is preserved in 
the box thus marked in the Linnean cabinet, and perfectly 
agrees with the definition of the species. Mr. Salter recognised 
it as Spircfer plicatellus var. interlineata, and Mr. Davidson as 
the Delthyris cystena of Dalman, which he regards as identical 
with the interlineatus of Sowerby. 
Besides the shell figured there is also, in the same drawer of 
the Linnean collection, a specimen of Spirifer interlineatus 
(Sowerby, Sil. Syst. pl. 6, f. 6) which has fine longitudinal strize 
covering rounded ribs, though in other respects a very different
