530 Hev. G. F. Whidhorne — Devonian Fossils, Devonshire. 



Size : length 45 mm., height 30 mm. 



Eight specimens from " Woodabay, above Pier," " Quarry in road 

 above Crock Point, Woodabay," and " Cutting vinder Kailway N. of 

 Barhrick Mill, Lynton." 



Upper (and Lower) Coblenzien. 



AOTINOPTEEIA, Sp. 



From the " East side of Lee Bay, Lynton," are two very 

 fragmentary specimens of an oblique Avicula, with rather fine 

 alternating striae (in one finer than in the other). They are 

 exceedingly like some of the Actinopterice from the Barton Beds 

 and from the Upper Devonian of Germany, but they do not admit 

 of identification. 



MoDioMORPHA LAMELLOSA, Saudberger, sp. (PI. XVII, Figs. 3, 4.) 



1895. Modiomorpha lamellosa, Beusliausen : Abh. k.p. Geol. Landes., n.s., pt. ivii, 

 p. 18, pi. i, figs. 19-21. 



Cast very oblique, transverse, almond-shaped, obliquely depressed 

 down the centre. Umbo situate at about the anterior fifth of the 

 length. Anterior end narrow, rounded. Anterior muscle-mark 

 large, prominent, terminal. An oblique triangular tooth under the 

 umbo of the right valve, and two or three long transverse striations 

 on the arching hinge-line behind. 



Size : about 60 mm. long and 30 mm. high. 



There are six specimens from the " East side of Lee Bay, 

 Lynton." They seem chiefly to differ from Sandberger's and 

 Beushausen's figures in being rather narrower and more produced 

 at the anterior end, and are probably no more than a variety. 

 The internal arrangements agree exactly with Kayser's figure of 

 Modiomorpha hilsteinensis, Beushausen (Jahrb. k.p, Geol. Landes. 

 fiir 1894, p. 127, pi. iii, figs, 4-6), a much shorter and more oval 

 species. 



Upper Coblenzien, 



NucuLA LoDANENSis, Beushauseu. (PI, XVII, Fig. 5.) 



1895. Nucula Lodanensis, Beusliausen : Abh. k.p. Geol. Landes., k.s., pt. ivii, p. 48, 

 pi. iv, figs. 6, 7 ; 14 ? 



From the " Cutting under Eailway N. of Barhrick Hill, Lynton," 

 is the cast of a Nucula, which appears almost exactly to agree with 

 Beushausen's species. Our figure does not give a very clear idea 

 of its real shape, the back of the cast having been sheared off, 

 and thus lessening its apparent height. It was evidently thick- 

 shelled and deep ; there are signs of a few strong teeth ; its umbo 

 is somewhat to the rear, and bends slightly forward ; its posterior 

 end is rounded, its anterior end narrow and subangular, and its 

 lower margin decidedly curved ; its posterior muscle-mark is large 

 and faint, and its anterior deep and occupying the upper half of the 

 anterior end. 



Size: 14mm. long, 9mm. high. 



This shell is larger and rounder than N. Kraclitm, F. A. Eomer, to
