304 MR.T. DAVIDSON ON JAPANESE BRACHIOPODA. [Apr. 18, 



Hab. Japanese coast near Yeddo, dredged there by Prof. R. 

 Plumpelly. The original specimen forms part of the Smithsonian 

 cabinet. 



Waldheimia picta, Chemnitz, sp. (Plate XXXI. fig. 10.) 



Waldheimia picta, Adams, Annals & Mag. of Nat. Hist. vol. xi. 

 3rd ser. p. 99, 1863. 



Hab. This well-known and beautiful species was obtained by Mr. 

 A. Adams in 55 fathoms off Stormy Cape, Tschitikoff, or Satano- 

 mosaki. Along with it was found T. minor or davidsoni of Adams.

Terebratula grayi, Davids. P. Z. S. 1852, p. 76. 



This fine species was fully described and illustrated by myself in 

 the 'Proceedings' of this Society, and again by Mr. L. Reeve in his 

 monograph of the genus Terebratula. It is a very variable shell ; 

 and Mr. Adams believes that it was to a very transverse variation 

 in shape of this species (fig. 8) that Mr. Gould had applied the 

 designation of T. transversa ; but some uncertainty would appear to 

 prevail in this matter, as Gould's original specimen is no longer to be 

 found. Most of his types belong to the Smithsonian collection. 



Hab. It occurs abundantly with T. coreanica in the Bay of Hako- 

 dadi and Mososeki, where it was dredged up by Mr. A. Adams in 

 7 fathoms, some large stones having eight or ten examples adhering 

 to it. Admiral Sir E. Belcher dredged it also in the Strait of Korea, 

 and it could be seen washed up on a beach by thousands. 



Genus Terebratella, D'Orb. 



This genus is largely represented in the recent state ; but some 

 further study of the named, described, and illustrated so-termed 

 species will still be required before the exact number of true species 

 can have been correctly determined. T. dorsata, Lam. (=?nagel- 

 lanica, Chem.); T. cruenta, Dilwyn (=T. zelandica, Desh.) ; T. 

 rubicunda, Sol., Mus. Bauks ; T. caurina, Gould ; T. coreanica, 

 Adams and Reeves ( = miniata, Gould); T. marice, A. Adams; T. 

 pulvinata, Gould ; T. frontalis, Mid. ; T. bouchardii, Dav. ; and 

 T. labradorensis, Sow., have been generally adopted ; but the last 

 four will demand further examination before their specific claims can 

 be fully ascertained and confirmed,
