Some New Species of Brachiopoda, from the Inferior Oolite of the 
Cotteswolds. By S. 8. Buckman, F.G.S. 
That portion of the Banbury and Cheltenham Railway 
which has recently been constructed between Cheltenham and 
Bourton-on-the-Water has cut somewhat deeply into and 
through the Cotteswold Hills, giving us some extremely fine 
sections. Chief among these, from a Palzontological point of 
view, is the prolific section at Notgrove Station, where the 
line attains its highest point, some 750 to 800 feet above sea 
level. This cutting is not of great depth nor length. It 
exposes the Oolite Marl, and by a fault at the east end the 
upper beds of the Inferior Oolite are brought down at a steep 
angle, and then by another the Fuller’s Earth is brought down 
to the same level. It is from the Oolite Marl section that I 
have obtained certain species of Brachiopoda which I propose 
to bring to the notice of the Club, and which, as I have been 
unable to find them figured in either English or Continental 
authors, I believe to be new. 
T also take this opportunity to describe and figure two other 
species, (ZT. pisolithica and Rh Hampenensis) about which a good 
deal of confusion has existed for some time. I think I shall be 
able to show that they differ in certain definite respects from 
any species at present known. 
DESCRIPTION OF THE SPECIES FIGURED. 
TEREBRATULA NoTGRoviENsSIS, S. Buck. Plate ITI, fig. 5a, b, c. 
A strongly biplicated species, longer than wide, somewhat 
tumid, the smaller valve more particularly so at the umbo; 
beak extremely short, obliquely truncated, and pierced by a 
large, almost circular, foramen; marginal line much recurved 
at the side biplications close together, small and somewhat
