556 Dr. H. Woodward — On Meyeria Willettii. 



specimens found in this district, referred to T. Eudesii, Oppel, may 

 Ibelong to Terebratula conglobata. Desl. 



I have thought it necessary, in drawing up the preceding table, to 

 give the species found in the Fuller's Earth as well as those found 

 in the Inferior Oolite, as these beds are closely connected, and the 

 division may have been drawn differently in France and in England. 



Bemarlcs. — The specimens which occur at Dundry are identical 

 with those in the Sherborne district; but the small shells Thecidea, 

 Zellania, etc., have not yet been found in the latter locality, but will 

 be sought for the next time Prof. Buckman's quarry is worked for 

 road-metal. Several Thecidea, etc., and more BJiyncJioneUcB may occur 

 in France, but as these have not yet been described in the Paleon- 

 tologie Fran^aise, the list may be incomplete. Terebratula maxillata 

 and Bhjnchonella concinna have been stated to occur in the Fuller's 

 Earth of Sapperton Tunnel near Cirencester, but a blue band of the 

 Great Oolite was cut through in making the tunnel, and the fossils 

 from it were mixed with those from the Fuller's Earth, being nearly 

 the same colour. It will be observed that the species peculiar to 

 the Oolitic Marl of Cheltenham district, as Rhyn. Lycetti, Dav.., Khyn. 

 subobsoleta, Dav., Waldheimia Lechenbyi, Walker, Terebratula fim- 

 bria, Sow., Terebratula submaxillata, Dav., etc., are wanting both in 

 the Dorset district and in France ; and that several species, as Bh. 

 ringens, Herault, Bh. parvida, E. Desk, Bh. jjlicatella, Sow., Bh. senti- 

 cosa, V. Buch, Waldheimia subbucculenta. Chap, et Dew., W. Waltoni, 

 Dav., 17. emarginata. Sow., Terebratida decipiens, E. Desk, T. Ferryi, 

 E. Desk, T. Morieri, Desl. and Dav., T. Stephani, Dav., T. sphceroid- 

 alis, Sow., occur in France and Dorset and Somerset, and not at 

 Cheltenham. Probably some Palaeozoic barrier separated these two 

 areas during the deposit of these zones, and the exact equivalents 

 may not be able to be found on comparing the different horizons of 

 the Inferior Oolite of these districts. The Oolite marl being absent 

 in France and Dorset ; the bed containing Bh. ringens has not been 

 found at Cheltenham. It is also worthy of remark that the Brachi- 

 opoda of the other Oolitic strata, and the Lias of Somerset and 

 Dorset contain several species which do not occur in other parts of 

 England, but are common in France. 



VI. — On Meyebia Willettii, a New Mackotjeotjs Ceustacean 

 FROM THE Chalk of Sussex.^ 



By Henry Woodward, LL.D., F.E.S., F.G.S., 

 of the British Museum. 



THE genus Meyeria was established by Prof. M'Coy, in 1849, for 

 the reception of certain Crustaceans from the Gault and Green- 

 sand, found at Speeton, Yorkshire, and at Atherfield, in the Isle of 

 Wight. A new form has been most obligingly sent to me for 

 examination by Henry Willett, Esq., F.G.S. ; and this being in 

 a more perfect state of preservation than any heretofore obtained,
