The same table gives the corresponding beds (by number or letter) of 
the sections relating to this district as well as that of Stanton-on-the 
Wolds in Notts for comparison (see Table, p. 419). 
Frora.—Alge. 
7. Crown Hills. Too indefinite to give any generic or specific 
name, and possibly (as they are mere casts) something else. 
Pterophylium brevipinna, Heer. Cf. Otozamites acuminatus (L. & H.). 
Intermediate between this and O. obtusus (L. & H.). 4. East Leake.

leaves, possibly in some cases allied to Podozamites. 2. Kast Leake.

strie radiating from the centre”’, which may possibly be referable to 
this coral.

Pterostichites' grandis, sp.nov. (Pl. XVII, Figs. 1a, 10.) 
At 3 feet above the Bone-bed at Glen Parva Mr. A. T. S. Cannon 
found a single elytron of a beetle, associated with fragments of chitin 
of insects, along with marine shells. As it does not appear to have 
been hitherto noticed, the following description is given :— 
Right elytron, 18 mm. long and 7 mm. broad at the widest part, 
oblong acute, the anterior and posterior margins subparallel for part 
of their length; suture following the margin regularly at a distance 
of less than 1 mm., striz ten, subparallel, and arising from the 
proximal extremity at equal distances, converging towards the anterior 
distal extremity, surface subconvex, coriaceous, the proximal extremity 
exhibiting a sinus left by the articulatory process. 
I am indebted to Mr. T. R. Goddard for confirming my identification 
of this fossil as a right elytron of a beetle. He considers that it may 
belong to some form allied to Pterostichus, some species of which are 
marine. 
Though such remains are not uncommon in the insect limestone 
(bed p of White Lias) they are rare in the Westbury Beds. 
They have been found, however, in bed 1 at Stoke Gifford by 
Dr. A. R. Short in the Upper Rhetic or Cotham Beds. 
1 The genus Pterostichites is proposed to include fossil forms presumably 
related to the modern genus Pterostichus.
