 than Zima Neptuni, Giebel, which is referred to Niicula by Kayser.

A specimen from " Heddon's Mouth (new road) " evidently belongs 

 to this magnificent species. It is a blurred cast in bluish micaceous 

 schistose grit, retaining the surface-ornament round the margins and 

 showing the inner line of the shell beneath the umbo. Its size and 

 marginal contour exactly agree with the German figures. Its ribs, 

 while slightly more numerous than those of the figured specimens, 

 are no more than the number mentioned in Kayser's description. 



Size : 80 mm. long, 67 mm. high.

A dorsal valve from "East side of Lee Bay, Lynton," appears 

 to agree with the species defined by Kayser, though it is so crushed 

 and defective that little of its character remains. It seems to have 

 been somewhat wider than long, with a strong elevated fold having 

 at least three ribs, which perhaps divaricate in front in the manner 

 of that species, and with nine strong ribs on each wing. 



This is no doubt the same as Phillips' shell, for which Davidson 

 had found a still earlier name than Schlotheim's, but which Kayser 

 (1878, Abh. Geol. Specialk. Preuss., vol. ii, pt. 4, p. 174, note) 

 considered more probably to belong to S. Daleidensis than to the 

 species to which Phillips had referred it. Phillips' figure shows 

 four ribs on the fold.

Nine specimens from "Quarry on road above Crock Point, 

 Woodabay," appear to belong to an extremely transvei'se variety 

 of this species, being more like those quoted above than are most 

 of the numerous figures given of it by various authors. The central 

 fold is large and probably prominent, the flatness seen in our 

 figured specimen having been most likely caused by pressure. The 

 lateral ribs are small, visible almost to the angles, and almost 

 50 in number. The wings appear to be acute and alate at their 

 extremities. 



Size : about 15 mm. long and 75 mm. wide.
