VII. NOTES ON Certain Species 



The opportunity may be taken to notice the two follow- 

 ing species, one of which requires a name : — 



16. TEREBRATULA WURTTEMBERGICA, Oppel. 



1832. TEREBRATULA BULLATA, Zietcii, Verst. Wiirt., 



pi. xl., fig. 6 (non Sow.) 



1856. TEREBRATULA WURTTEMBERGICA, Oppel, Juraf., 



p. 426. 



Oppel named this species, taking Zieten's figure as the 

 type. He says it is common in the highest beds of the 

 Inferior Oolite in Wiirttemberg, and that Terebr. sphcE- 

 roidalis is distinct from it because it has a much rounder 

 shape. 



The species is really a kind of elongate T. sphcsroidalis, 

 with rather marked ridges of growth. It is probably 

 passed over as Terebratula decipiens, E. Deslongschamps, 

 a specific name made to cover a number of forms, few of 

 which are really referable thereto. 



17. TEREBRATULA PERMAXILLATA, S. Buckman, sp. n. 



1884. TEREBRATULA MAXILLATA, DtwiJson (non 

 Sowerby), Monogr. Brach. ; App. to Supple- 

 ments, pi. XX., figs. 12, 12a, 12b. 



Descriptio7i : — A maxillatoid species, with very strong folds, which 

 would almost justify its destination as a quadriplicate shell. The side 

 margin is in consequence very strongly curved. 



Distinction : — From T. maxi/lata, the greater strength 

 of its plications in proportion to its size, the beak more 

 separated from the umbo. 



Localities and Strattim : — Cotteswolds . Rodborough 

 Hill, near Stroud ; Salperton (in the railway cuttings) ; 

 Brimpsfield, near Birdlip ; Clypeus grit ; rare.
