Dr. T. Wright on some new species of Hemipedina. 197 



therein, our friend S. P. Woodward, Esq., has kindly sent us 

 three new English forms of this group, one found in the cal- 

 careous grit of Berkshire, and two in the Kimmeridge clay of 

 Bucks ; our friend Thomas Davidson, Esq., has likewise com- 

 municated a figure of one found by M. Bouchard Chantereaux 

 some years ago in the Kimmeridge clay of Boulogne-sur-Mer ; 

 we lose no time therefore in recording these additions to the 

 Oolitic fauna, at the same time returning our hearty thanks 

 to the kind friends who have so liberally communicated the 

 specimens. 



A. Species from the Calcareous Grit. 



Hemipedina Marchamensis, Wright, nov. sp. 



Test large, and depressed ; ambulacral areas narrow, with two 

 rows of marginal tubercles, nearly as large as those of the 

 interambulacra, extending regularly and without interruption 

 from the peristome to the apical disc, and separated by a zig- 

 zag line of small granules down the centre, the areas retain- 

 ing a nearly uniform width throughout ; poriferous zones form 

 a slightly waved line, from every three pairs of pores being set 

 slightly oblique to the line of the zones ; interambulacral areas 

 four times the width of the ambulacral, with eight rows of 

 tubercles at the equator, each tubercular plate supporting 

 four nearly equal-sized tubercles abreast ; bosses prominent ; 

 areolas surrounded with incomplete circlets of smaQ granules ; 

 mouth-opening less than one-third the diameter oT the test ; 

 peristome unequally decagonal; fi^ve jaws, in situ, each jaw 

 having two broad flat central ridges, and two oblique mar- 

 ginal ridges with two intervening depressions ; teeth long, and 

 obliquely truncated at the points. 



Dimensions. — Transverse diameter 2y^^ inches; height ly'^ 

 inch ? 



Locality. — The calcareous grit of Marcham, Berks.

B. Species from the Kimmeridge Clay. 

 Hemipedina Morrisii, Wright, nov. sp. 



Form and size unknown ; test small ; ambulacral areas with two 

 rows of regular promineut marginal tubercles gradually dimi- 

 nishing in size from the base to the apex of the areas, and 

 separated by a zigzag line of small granules down the centre ; 

 poriferous zones slightly waved ; pores large, the pairs sepa- 

 rated by thin septa ; interambulacral areas more than three
