TliC Lower Devonian Fauna of TorqiLay. 307 



With regard to its affinities,the examples of G. Sturtzi Beushausen ^ 

 figured by Drevermann - from the Cobleuzian of the Eifel seem 

 somewhat siniilar, but Beushausen's figure of this species was only 

 an unsatisfactory one in the text. G. acuta Sandberger ^ is an allied 

 fonn and G. sccans Fuchs * bears a considerable resemblance. But 

 with none of these can ours be safely considered identical, and it 

 seems desirable to separate it specifically. 



Goniophora sp. 



.Ajiotber species of Goniophora seems to be present at Kilmorie, 

 and is represented by a somewhat imperfect right valve in the 

 Sedgwick ^lusoum in which the lower part of the anterior end and 

 the upper and lower aogles of the posterior end are rather broken. 

 The shell is relatively longer and narrower than G. hipartita and 

 scarcely widens at aU posteriorly, the upper and lower margins being 

 subparallel ; the hinge-line is very long and straight, being nearly 

 three-fourths the length of the shell ; the umbonal ridge is strong, 

 causing a sharp angulation of the surface, and appears to be nearly 

 straight, the curvature from the beak to the posterior angle being 

 very slight. The posterior margin is very oblique, gently arched, 

 and makes an angle of about 140 degrees with the hinge-line. The 

 external ornamentation is not preserved. The affinities of this shell 

 seem to be with G. nassoviensis Kayser^ and G. trapezoidalis Kayser/ 

 but it is impossible to identify the species. 



Dimensions. — Length, c. 55-60 mm. Height (maximum), 

 c. 23 mm. 



Horizon. — Meadfoot Beds. 



Locality. — Kilmorie, Meadfoot (S. 69). 



Diaphorostoma cf. naticopsis (Oehlert) ? 



One somewhat distorted internal cast of a low naticoid gastropod 

 from Kilmorie may be referred without much hesitation to the genus 

 DiapJiorostoma which Fischer proposed in 1885 in place of the 

 pre-occupied name Platyostonia. We may apparently compare our 

 specimen with Oehlert's Platystoma ? naticopsis ^ of the Lower 

 Devonirn of Mayenne, and with D. ventricosum (Conr.) ** of the 

 American Lower Devonian. 



Dimensions. — Diameter, c. 25 mm. Height, c. 17 mm. 



Horizon. — Meadfoot Beds. 



Locality. — Kilmorie, Torquay (S. 75).
