et Dew., and probably the same as the species figured, but not 

 named, by Mr. Davidson in his paper on the Dorset Brachiopoda, 

 pi. iii., figs. 14-15. Waldheima subbucculenta is stated to occur in 

 France in the lower part of the Fuller's Earth, but probably 

 what in England would be called the upper part of the Inferior 

 Oolite. It is a species which is closely allied to W. Waltoni, 

 Dav., and somewhat resembles W. indentata and W. perforata of 

 the Lias ; W. "humeralis of the Kimmeridge ; and pseudojuremis of 

 the Neocomian. It is a long narrow, flat, shell tapering towards 

 the beak and front margin, foramen small, beak ridges well 

 defined, and a dark line on the smaller valve indicates the pre- 

 sence of a septum, showing that the loop was long. It will be 

 figured with, the other species in the appendix to Mr. Davidson's 

 supplement to his great work on Jurassic Brachiopoda. 



In a quarry near the church at Misterton, near Crewkerne, I 

 found a band of clay lying on the top of the Inferior Oolite 

 stone, containing numerous specimens of a variety of Waldheimia 

 Meriana, associated with T. decipiens. It is probable that some of 

 the specimens found in this district, referred to T. Eudesii, Oppel, 

 may belong to Terebratula conglolata, Desl. 



I have thought it necessary, in drawing up the preceding table, 

 to give the species found in the Fuller's Earth as well as those 

 found in the Inferior Oolite, as these beds are closely connected, 

 and the division may have been drawn differently in France and 

 in England. 



Remarks. The specimens which occur at Dundry are identical 

 with those in the Sherborne district; but the small shells 

 Thecidea, Zellania, etc., have not yet been found in the latter 

 locality, but will be sought for the next time Prof. Buckman's 

 quarry is worked for road-metal. Several Theddea, etc., and 

 more Khynchonell may occur in France, but as these have not 

 yet been described in the Paleontologie Fran9aise, the list may 

 be incomplete. Terebratula maxillata and Rhynchonella concinna 

 have been stated to occur in the Fuller's Earth of Sapperton 

 Tunnel, near Cirencester, but a blue band of the Great Oolite 

 was cut through in making the tunnel, and the fossils from it
