  This 
  is 
  a 
  valuable 
  addition 
  to 
  our 
  knowledge 
  of 
  the 
  Crag 
  Molluscan 
  

   fauna 
  of 
  this 
  country, 
  and 
  is 
  intended 
  to 
  form 
  a 
  supplementary 
  

   account 
  to 
  Searles 
  Wood's 
  monograph 
  on 
  the 
  same 
  subject, 
  published 
  

   many 
  years 
  ago 
  by 
  the 
  Palieontographical 
  Society. 
  The 
  memoir 
  

   commences 
  by 
  noticing 
  the 
  various 
  non-marine 
  shells 
  found 
  in 
  the 
  

   Crag, 
  which 
  are 
  divided 
  into 
  the 
  groups 
  of 
  "Terrestrial" 
  and 
  

   " 
  Aquatic." 
  Some 
  48 
  species 
  are 
  referred 
  to, 
  of 
  which 
  13 
  are 
  

   considered 
  to 
  be 
  extinct 
  ; 
  they 
  are 
  of 
  most 
  frequent 
  occurrence 
  in 
  

   the 
  Norwich 
  Crag, 
  less 
  so 
  in 
  the 
  Red 
  Crag, 
  while 
  only 
  3 
  are 
  known 
  

   in 
  the 
  Coralline 
  Crag 
  — 
  information 
  which 
  is 
  usefully 
  summarised 
  in 
  a 
  

   " 
  Distribution 
  Table." 
  We 
  note 
  that 
  Studer's 
  genus 
  Pomatias 
  (type 
  

   =Nerita 
  elegans, 
  Miiller) 
  is 
  adopted 
  for 
  Lamarck's 
  Ct/clostoma 
  of 
  a 
  

   later 
  date, 
  the 
  subject 
  being 
  mentioned 
  as 
  if 
  it 
  were 
  quite 
  recently 
  

   inspired, 
  whereas 
  Mr. 
  li. 
  Bullen 
  Newton 
  pointed 
  out 
  more 
  than 
  20 
  

   years 
  ago 
  (Ann. 
  & 
  Mag. 
  Nat. 
  Hist. 
  1891, 
  ser. 
  6, 
  vol. 
  vii. 
  p. 
  346) 
  

   that 
  it 
  was 
  essential 
  to 
  recognize 
  that 
  name 
  in 
  conchological 
  

   nomenclature. 
  The 
  marine 
  mollusca 
  are 
  next 
  considered, 
  much 
  

   new 
  material 
  having 
  been 
  obtained 
  from 
  the 
  Red 
  Crag 
  deposits 
  of 
  

   LittleOakley 
  near 
  Harwich, 
  between 
  Walton-on-Naze 
  and 
  Felixstowe, 
  

   representing 
  a 
  littoral 
  and 
  southern 
  fauna 
  with 
  some 
  northern 
  

   species, 
  the 
  beds 
  being 
  regarded 
  as 
  of 
  " 
  Waltonian 
  " 
  age, 
  which 
  is 
  

   stated 
  to 
  be 
  partly 
  equivalent 
  to 
  the 
  Poderlian 
  stage 
  of 
  the 
  Belgian 
  

   Pliocene 
  deposits. 
  Varietal 
  names, 
  which 
  already 
  burden 
  our 
  concho- 
  

   logical 
  literature, 
  are 
  largely 
  resorted 
  to, 
  no 
  less 
  than 
  a 
  dozen 
  being 
  

   used 
  in 
  connection 
  with 
  Buccinum 
  undatam 
  — 
  far 
  better 
  would 
  it 
  

   have 
  been 
  to 
  raise 
  the 
  chief 
  of 
  these 
  to 
  siiecific 
  rank 
  and 
  to 
  have 
  

   ignored 
  those 
  of 
  lesser 
  importance. 
  

  

  We 
  notice 
  that 
  the 
  terms 
  Miocene 
  and 
  Pliocene 
  are 
  frequently 
  

   quoted 
  in 
  connection 
  with 
  the 
  geological 
  distribution 
  of 
  the 
  species, 
  

   although 
  it 
  is 
  advisable 
  to 
  define 
  more 
  particularly, 
  when 
  able, 
  the 
  

   actual 
  stage 
  of 
  those 
  periods, 
  such 
  as 
  Vindobouian, 
  Plaisancian, 
  &c. 
  

   In 
  glancing 
  at 
  the 
  generic 
  names 
  employed, 
  we 
  observe 
  those 
  

   attributed 
  to 
  Klein 
  and 
  Adanson, 
  both 
  pre-Linnaean 
  authors, 
  as 
  also 
  

   others 
  which 
  have 
  been 
  pre-occupied 
  in 
  different 
  sections 
  of 
  zoology, 
  

   among 
  which 
  we 
  would 
  call 
  attention 
  to 
  the 
  following:

  Tbrebra.

  Adanson,
