336 Geology. 



Museum of Practical Geology, with the exception of a series of 50 banded 

 flints described by S. P. Woodward (Geol. Mag. 1864), which were 

 presented to the British Museum in 1865. Wethereli made many other 

 donations to the Museum, beginning in 1833 with fossils from Highgate 

 Archway, and continuing till 1874, when he gave many hundred portions 

 of Bourgueticrinus from the Chalk of Gravesend. His main collection, 

 however, was bought through J. Tennant in 1871, making the total 

 number of specimens received from him nearly 5000, all which have been 

 marked "Wethereli Coll.," while many bear labels in his own hand- 

 writing. Among the more important specimens in this collection may 

 be mentioned: a "sternum of a small wader" from the London Clay, 

 figured by Owen (" Brit. Foss. Mammals and Birds ") ; teeth of Mosasaurus 

 from the Chalk, figured in MantelPs "Medals of Creation"; tooth of 

 Ptychodus, figured in the Geologist; the type of Loricula pulchella, 

 G. B. Sowerby, 1843, re-figured by Darwin (Palseontogr. Soc., 1851); 

 some thirty type and figured specimens of London Clay Crustacea, 

 described by T. Bell (Pateontogr. Soc., 1858), and one subsequently the 

 type of Squilla wetherelli, H. Woodw. (1879); many of the types of 

 Nautilidsc, as Aturia ziczac, Nautilus parkinsoni, N. sowerbyi, figured 

 by F. E. Edwards (Palaeontogr. Soc.), and two N. centralis figured in 

 Sowerby's " Mineral Conchology " ; numerous type and figured specimens 

 of other Eocene Mollusca described by F. E. Edwards and S. V. Wood 

 (Palajontogr. Soc.), including a Voluta figured in the "Mineral Con- 

 chology," also Cyprasidse figured in the Geological Magazine (1865); 

 pearl-bearing Inoceramus and Gryphcea (Ann. May. Nat. Hist.) ; Tere- 

 bratula semiglobosa, figured by Davidson ; six types of Polyzoa, figured 

 by Busk (Geol. Mag., 1866); the types of Coelopleurus wetherelli and 

 Ophiura wetherelli, described by Forbes (Palseontogr. Soc., 1852); 

 Clionites mantelli (Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist.); and flint implements from 

 Hornsey, figured in the Geologist. The collection also included the 

 41 fossils of various kinds found in a well on Hampstead Heath, and 

 figured by J. de C. Sowerby (Trans. Geol. Soc., 1840).
