AT BRADFORD ABBAS. 



By A. U. KENT, Esq. 



\R. DAVIDSON, in his paper on the Brachiopoda of the 

 Inferior Oolite of Dorset, described about 40 species, 

 of which most of them occur at Bradford Abbas. 



It was, however, subsequently reserved for Mr. Walker to 

 add a new -species in Terelratula Mortirei, upon which he founded 

 a very valuable paper to the Geological Magazine of December, 

 1878, and from which we copy the following notes : 



"I picked up this specimen from the horizon of the RJiyn- 

 conella parvula" 



" It belongs to a small group of which it is the earliest 

 representative, followed in the fullers earth by the Ter. reticulata, 

 and the closely-allied or identical Terelratula hylrida, and in the 

 Great Oolite by Terelratula coarctata*" 



This specimen has been figured from France, but not from 

 England. Mr. Stephens, however, was so fortunate as to find a 

 single specimen at Bradford, and Mr. "Walker another afterwards, 

 and it fell to my lot the other day to meet with two specimens, 

 and these four are at present the only ones known to English 



* Walker, in the Geological Mayazine, December, 1878.
