122 PROC. COTTESWOLD CLUB VOL. Xlll. (2) 



Inferior Oolite and Liassic Brachiopods, we have some 86 

 or 87 species. 



Since the pubHcation of these works I have collected in 

 the Cotteswold district a number of forms which neither 

 Dr Smithe nor Mr Buckman mention. Some of them 

 belong to species already described from other localities : 

 others appear to be undescribed ; and I thought it might 

 be of interest to the Club to have their discovery recorded 

 in its Proceedings, together with a more complete reference 

 to some two or three species which Mr Buckman mentions 

 in his second paper, above referred to, more or less on 

 my authority. I wish at the same time to notice a very 

 interesting and peculiar example of a somewhat scarce 

 Brachiopod (Terebratula galeiformis, M'Coy) which has 

 been found very sparingly up to the present time, and 

 only in the Cotteswolds. The specimen, which is in my 

 collection, I owe to the generosity of one of our members, 

 Mr W. Thompson.
