 found in this district.) 



Under Rhynch. subrinqens I have given the relations and 

 varieties of this species, and have also described it. It occurs 

 in the same zone as that species, viz., that of Murchisonae, and 

 though rather more frequent near Gorton, it is very rare at 

 Bradford Abbas.

A small but peculiar flat species, which occurs in the zone of 

 Parkinsoni. It is chiefly distinct on account of its small number 

 of ribs ; on the mesial fold it has generally three ribs, but some- 

 times four. There are also specimens, probably varieties of 

 this species, which occur with it, that have only two ribs rather 

 more raised than in Rhynch. pamila. 



Dimensions. — Length, 6 ; breadth, 6 ; depth, 3 lines. 



Localities. — Bradford Abbas, and near Halfway House 

 (Dorset).
