44:2 J. F. Walker — Liassic Sections near Bridport. 



his Ool. Suppt. to Ithjn. egretta ; but some specimens closely resemble 

 E. Deslongchamp's figure of Rhynchonella Jallax : it will have to be 

 compax'ed with the French specimens, which are very difficult to 

 obtain ; it is a very variable form. 



Mr. Day gives Rhynchonella acuta from the Down cliffs, where I 

 have also found it. I did not see a fragment of it in this section. 

 There is a remarkable form of Terebratula, of which I obtained three 

 perfect specimens, probably a variety of T. Jauberti, E. Desl. 



Waldheimia (Aulncothyris) resupinata does not appear to have 

 been found by Mr. Day, as he states it is altogether absent in the sea- 

 coast section. It is rare at Bothenhampton ; I only obtained eight 

 specimens, two of which were imperfect ; it agrees with the South 

 Petherton form. 



Waldheimia (Aulacothyris) Moorei, one typical specimen. 



Waldheimia fZeilleriaJ indentata, rare, a wide variet)'. 



Waldheimia (ZeilUria) sp , this may be new, it is nearest to W. scalprata, 

 Quenstedt. It is a small triangular form belonging to the W. Waterhomei and 

 W digona group. 



Waldheimia (Zeilleria) subntcmismalis, rare, and not so fine as tbose of the coast 

 section. 



The Conglomerate bed, in its lower part, contained in some blocks 

 large quantities of a Belemnite probably B. paxillosus ; also worn 

 specimens of Ammonites [Harpoceras) falcifenua. But in many 

 blocks the pink stone rested upon the Rhynchonella serruta bed, 

 the Ammonites, which occurred very abundantly, were Ammonites 

 (Hildoceras) bifrons ; they are fine, large, and very well preserved 

 specimens, although difficult to extract on account of the hardness of 

 the matrix ; they are filled with the pink rock, showing them to be 

 of the age of that deposit. 



The Brachiopoda in the pink rock were Rhynchonella Bouchardi, 

 Dav. ; Rhynchonella Moorei, Dav.; Waldheimia {Zeilleria) Lycetti, Dav. 



Rhynchonella Bouchardi was the most abundant species, and ex- 

 hibited all the varieties which occur in the same horizon near 

 Ilminster. Rhynchonella Moorei was rare and small. Waldheimia 

 Lycetti was of the typical form, and also resembled the Ilminster 

 sjjecimens. A few specimens of a variety of ^mmoj«7fs (Stephano- 

 ceras) communis, and a large Nautilus, occurred sparingly in the 

 conglomerate bed, generally of a yellowish colour. 



In tlie brown stone over the conglomerate fine specimens of 

 Ammonites (Grammoceras) Thouarcense, d'Orb., were obtained. In 

 the hard white stone Ammonites Germani, d'Orb., were found in a 

 Very fine condition, and exactly resemble d'Orbigny's figures in 

 the Paleontologie Fran^aise. This species is considered by some 

 authors to be the same as Ammonites hircinus of Schlotheim. The 

 presence of these Ammonites shows that the Jurense zone is here 

 represented. 



A curious Rhynchonella, character ill-defined, occurs in the brown 

 rock, and appears to extend downwards into the conglomerate bed ; 

 some of the specimens seem to agree with Rhynchonella jurensis, 

 Quenstedt, but they are generally more globose and larger shells, 

 it may be called var. Bothenhamptonensis.
