 O. cinctum, Phillips, no7i J. de C. Sowerby. 

 0. hercynicum {!) , Whidborne, Geol. Mag., 1901, non Kayser. 



There are three fragments of this species. 



Distribution. — Middle and Upper Devonian. 



Orthoceras sp. 



This is the specimen which according to Mr. Whidborne may possibly 

 belong to 0. ellipticum, Miinster. There is only one fragment, and 

 it shows a central siphuncle. 



Distribution. — According to Dr. A. H. Foord, 0. ellipticum occurs 

 in the Upper Devonian of Germany. 



Gasteropoda. 



Capultts priscds (?), Goldfuss, sp. 



Determined and figured by Mr. Whidborne in Geol. Mag., 1901, p. 534, 

 PI. XVIII, Fig. 1. 



Only this one and the top of what seems to be a second specimen 

 have been seen. 



Distribution. — Lower and Middle Devonian. 



Bellerophon cf. MUNDUs, Whidborne. 

 See Devonian Fauna, Mon. Pal. Soc, 1892, p. 327, pi. xxxi, fig. 9.

 species, but it is not mentioned in Geol. Mag., 1901. 



Distribution. — Middle Devonian. 



Brachiopoda. 



Athtris concentrica, von Buch, sp. 

 See Whidborne, Geol. Mag., 1901, p. 534, PI. XVIII, Fig. 6. 



The example seen is that whicti was figured by Mr. Whidborne, 

 and is a small rather obscure cast. We have not been able to find 

 the mould mentioned by him as showing the " characteristic strong 

 concentric ridges". 



Distribution. — Lower Devonian (Coblencian = France and Germany), 

 Middle Devonian (from base to top). Upper Devonian (Etheridge). 



Clorinda brevirostris, Phillips, sp. 



The Pentamerus brevirostris of authors. 



A single example of this species has been detected. It was not 

 ■mentioned by Whidborne, but was recorded by Davidson from 

 Hope's Nose, near Torquay. 



Distribution. — Middle Devonian only (England, France, and 

 Germany). 



GrpiDULA qaleata, Dalraan, sp.
