A Retrospect of Palceontology for Forty Years. 99 



specimens were obtained from the Free Park Cemetery, Macclesfield/ 

 where about 50 species were collected. 



Dr. S. P. Woodward wrote (in 1864) on Plicatula sigillina from 

 the Upper Chalk of Cambridge, and on the fossil shells from the 

 Bridlington Crag (1864:) ; 44 species were enumerated. In a later 

 list (1881) supplied by C. W. Lamplugh, some 67 species were 

 recorded. An admirable memoir by Mrs. McKenny Hughes was 

 contributed in 1888 on the Mollusca from the Pleistocene Gravels 

 of Barnwell, Cambridge, which dealt with both the geology and the 

 shells, 80 species being accurately listed, also many other forms 

 both of vertebrate, invertebrate, and plant- remains. G. Sharman 

 and E. T. Newton (in 1896) recorded the occurrence of Cretaceous 

 fossils in the Drift of Moreseat, Aberdeen, of which they gave a 

 carefully prepared list of 40 species of Mollusca, besides Brachiopoda, 

 Echinodermata, etc. A. J. Jukes-Browne (in the same year) noticed 

 the fossils from the Warminster Greensand. J. Starkie Gardner 

 (1873 and 1875) described the genus Aporrliais. and noticed other 

 Gault Gasteropoda in a series of six papers (1876, 77, 84, 85). 

 H. Woodward figured Bostellaria Pricei from the Grey Chalk, and 

 E. G. H. Price Bostellaria maxima from the Gault, both extracted 

 from the Folkestone cliflfs. W. H. Hudleston discoursed on the 

 PaliBontology of the Yorkshire Oolites (1880), and on the Gasteropoda 

 of the Portland Beds of the Vale of Wardour (1881). Edward Wilson 

 (1887) figured and recorded 15 new species of Liassic Gasteropoda, 

 and with W. D. Crick in 1889 wrote on the Gasteropoda from 

 the Lias Marlstone of Tilton. E. Wilson also published in 1890 

 a list of types in the Bristol Museum; H. E. Quilter (1886) fossils 

 from the Lower Lias of Leicestershire ; and R. Tate from the Lias 

 of Banbury (1875). Dr. John Lycett discussed (in 1881) the 

 generic distinctness of Purpuroides and Purpura. K. Etheridge, jun., 

 described (in 1873-74) new species of Lamellibranchiata from the 

 Carboniferous of Scotland, the genus Conularia (1873), Modiola 

 liihodomides (1875), and contributed five other papers (1876-79) 

 on Carboniferous Mollusca. F, K. Cowper Reed (1901) figured and 

 noticed some of Salter's undescribed Mollusca in the Woodwardian 

 Museum. 



The first article in 1864 was by J. W. Salter on the fossils 

 from the Old Red pebbles at Budleigh Salterton. H. Woodward 

 wrote upon an Upper Silurian Chiton from the Girvan district, 

 upon recent and fossil Pleiirotomaria (both in 1885), and on 

 Pleiirotoma prisca (1901). The Rev. G. F. Whidborne described 

 in the same year some Devonian fossils from Devonshire. Ralph 

 Tate (in 1868) defined the genus Axinopsis. In 1871 Professor 

 J. W. Judd gave an interesting account, with figures, of the 

 anomalous mode of growth of certain oysters from the Cornbrash of 

 Scarborough, Weymouth, and Peterborough, pai'asitic on Ammonite 

 shells, etc. R. B. Newton contributed a paper on the genus Leveillia. 

 P. E. Edwards (in 1865) described some new species of Cyprcen and. 

 Ilarginella. In 1902 General McMahon and W. H. Hudleston figured 

 a series of fossils from the Hindu Khoosh, and the latter communicated
