siler Brachiopoden. [ Volhorthia, a new genus of fossil Brachio- 



poda.] N. Jahrb. Heft. 5, pp. 449-452, with plate. 



This genus is founded on specimens discovered by Dr. A. Yolborth 



in the neighbourhood of Zzarskoje-Sselo. Some similar fossils were 



described by Prof. Kutorga under the name of Acrotreta recurva ; but 



Yon MoUer gives his reasons for separating them from Acrotreta, and 



forming a new genus. F. W. H.

geol. Eeichs. Bd. xxiii. Heft. 4, pp. 425-438 [publ. 1874], with 2 



plates of fossils. 



The following new fossils are described: — T r achy ceras (Ammonites) 



Balatonicum, from, the Lower Alpine Muschelkalk ; T. Taramellii, 



and T Cuccense, with the first at Monte Cucco (Priuli) ; Natica Cue- 



censis, from the Upper Muschelkalk of Monte Cucco ; N. terzadica and 



W. gemmata, from Monte Terzadia (Friuli), below the Haibl horizon ; 



Posiclonomya Idriana, probably from the Carnic horizon ; P. pannonica, 



and P. alta, from the Noric horizon, near Yaszoly ; Monotis megalota 



(= Halohia Lommeli, Hauer, pars). E. B. T.

 plates 

 The genera Posidonomya and Halohia, include certain thin bivalve 

 shells, with a considerable resemblance to the Crustacean group of the 

 Estherice, but usually referred to the Lamellihranchiata (family Avicu- 

 lidce). This reference the author confirms; and he founds the new 

 genus Daonella to include certain allied forms, which may be regarded 

 as strictly intermediate between Posidonomya and Halohia. The 

 generic characters of Daonella are the possession of a bivalve shell.
