(Goldfuss, Petref. Germ., 1862, pp. 115-116, tab. cxv., fig.) 

 under which name it appears to have been frequently recorded. 

 It differs from that species, however in being more insequi- 

 valve — a fact noted by Whidborne. 

 Whidborne remarks that it 



" may possibly agree with G. fornicata, Lycett, . . . but seems to 

 differ in wanting the sinuations in the infero-anterior border, and being less 

 oblique." 



It may be noted that G. fornicata is also a more convex 

 form, and appears to be almost equivalve.

Fig. I. — Gervillia whidbornei nom. nov. 



Of the two specimens figured by Whidborne, fig. 8 represent 

 one from the Cotteswold Sands at Frocester Hill, and fig. 9 one 

 from an ironshot bed (probably of concavi or discitce hemera) 

 in the Inferior Oolite of Bradford Abbas. They are in the 

 Sedgwick Museum, Cambridge. 



In Text-fig. I Whidborne's fossil from Bradford Abbas is 

 refigured under its new name.
