and there seems to be no marginal simiation at the lower posterior 

 angle. The surface ornamentation consists of rather widely separated 

 sharply raised concentric lines, or rather ridges, with smooth deep 

 concave intersjjaces between them. The shape of the shell suggests 

 the genus Tellinites as redefined by Williams and Breger,^ rather 

 than Cypricardia, and T. Chapmani Will, and Br.," which its authors 

 considered closely similar to the European Ctenodonta {Palfroneilo) 

 elegans Maurer,^ appears to resemble the British specimens, while 

 the ornament recalls that of Ctenodonta unioniformis Sandb.^ and 

 its allies.

Goniophora hipartita (F. Roemer). 



One internal cast of a left valve, though imperfect, in the Sedgwick 

 Museum collection from Kilmorie, shows the characteristic features 

 of this species as described by Beushausen.^ Our specimen 

 particularly resembles the broader shorter form which he repre- 

 sented in his fig. 15 (op. cit.), the general shape and the curvature 

 oi the umbonal ridge being specially noteworthy.

GoniopJiora rhenana Beushausen. 

 The considerable differences which occur in the appearance of 

 opposite valves of the same individual as the result of unequal 

 crushing and deformation are exhibited in the internal cast of a com- 

 plete shell from Kilmorie belonging to the genus GoniopJiora. The 

 right valve resembles that in one of Beushausen's figures of G. 

 nassoviensis Kayser ^ in its general shape, the nearly straight course 

 of the low obtuse umbonal ridge, the length of the hinge-line, the size 

 and inclination of the upper portion of the valve, the acutely pointed 

 posterior end and the angle made by the posterior margin with the 

 hinge-line. The left valve, on the other hand, is more like one of his 

 figures '' of G. bipartita, being deeper, with the umbonal ridge more 

 prominent and strongly arched upwards and the portions of the valve 

 above and below it inclined nearlj^ at a right angle. According to 

 Beushausen G. rhenana. ** lies between these two species. The muscle- 

 scars and pallial line which are well seen in our specimen agree with 

 those shown in a figure (fig. 9) of the interior of G. nassoviensis
