OF SOUTHERN INDIA. 487 



I am not certain wlietlicr the same objections which I have recorded against 

 adopting Granocard'mm should not be repeated in the present case. The fact is, 

 that numerous recent and fossU TmchrjcarcUa have the spines placed so low laterally 

 on the ribs that they almost appear to originate between the ribs, and have quite 

 the appearance of doing so when the furrows are not perfectly well exposed from 

 the rock in which the shells are found imbedded. I cannot easily imagine what 

 kind of a mantle-edge the animal must have possessed in order to produce sharp 

 radiating ribs and again in the interstices long spines. 



Conrad says that Gabb's C. muUlradlatnm and C. Bcmlinianum also belong 

 to the same sub-genus. I do not think any necessity exists for separating them 

 from the sub-genus Pectunculus or Tmchycardium. The latter species has been by 

 an oversight suggested to belong to Lcemcardkwi (on p. 213, sub-No. 51).

Under No. 65. Cardlnm Ottonis (baud OttolJ. Giimbel, (Ostbayerisch. 

 Grenzgeb., 1868, p. 765,) gives a figure of, and some additional information about, 

 this species. 



65fls. Cardium fCerastodermaJ Bggeri, Giimbel, (ibidem, p. 765, fig. 4,) from 

 Marterberg (Bavaria). 



65&. Cardium Priesenense, Giimbel, (Abhandl. Mlinchner Akad., x, p. 569,) 

 from Priesen in Bohoemia. The species is said to be allied to C. semipapillatmn, 

 Eeuss, which is either a Cerastoderma, or perhaps a Papyridea. 



66. C. intermedium, Reuss, is stated by Giimbel (loc. cit.) to be a young 

 form of C. productum, Sow., with, which, also C. alternans, Rss., is identical. In 

 place of the above species add Lcevicardium Brohei, Briart et Cornet, (Foss. de 

 Bracquegnies, 1868, p. 67, pi. vii, figs. 1—3, in Mem, Cour. Acad., Belg., xxxiv).

5. Syndonites, Pirona, differs from Sphcerulites, and allied genera, by the 

 absence of a cardinal fold, and by having the cardinal teeth grown together almost 

 in their entu-e length. The typical species is S. Stoppania/na, Pir., from cretaceous 

 beds of the Medea Hill in Friaul. 



I am acquainted with this genus merely from a notice in the ' Sitzungsberichte' 

 of the Geol. Institute, Vienna, for 1870, p. 222. It is published by Pirona, with 

 many other new species of Sipfuritid^, in the Mem. dell Inst. Veneto di scienze, 

 V, xiv, for 1869.

 sis, Catulli aviA. ponderosa ; Padiolites Zignoana, Gastaldiana, Taramelli,fascicularis 

 and Masalongiana, and Syndonites Stoppaniana, are described as new species by Prof. 

 Pirona in a paper entitled " Le Hippuritidi del colic di Medea nel Friauli," pub- 

 lished in Mem. dell lust. Veneto di sc, V, xiv, for 1809.
