 Buckman Rhynchonella aff. welgandi Haas & Petri — also 



' from Netherton [near Beaminster] in Dorset, from the base of what is 

 known as " Inferior Oolite limestone," that is, beds deposited before the 

 Murchisonx hemera strictly so-called.' 4 



Little Windsor. — The quany here is now (1916) overgrown. 



Seabo rough. — Portions of the Top Limestones — from which I 

 obtained Rhynchonella cf. parvula Deslongchamps and Holectypus 

 hemisphcericus (Agassiz) — are to be seen in an old quany (2) near 

 this village. 



Limeworks, Misterton (Somerset). — In the quarry at 

 this locality, the following beds are exposed :

1 Mr. Charles Upton informs me that a schoolmaster at Drimpton collected 

 and distributed many fossils from this quarry. 



ft,- The type-specimen of Cucvllaea oblonga J. Sowerby was found 'at 

 Dundry in the Inferior Oolite, holding grains of iron-ore' (Min. Conch, vol. iii, 

 :pl. ccvi, fig. 1, 1818, p. 7) — that is, it came from the Sauzei Bed of that 

 locality. The specimens recorded as ' Cucvllaea oblonga J. Sowerby ' in the 

 present paper are similar to those from the Sauzei Bed of Dundry Hill, 

 .although they come from much lower down. 



3 Geol. Mag. dec. 3, vol. iii (1886) p. 388. 



4 Q. J. G. S. vol. li (1895) pp. 453, 462. 



5 Throughout this paper the ' ochreous ' matter referred to is due to the 

 oxidization and hydration of iron-pyrites. 



6 Mr. Buckman informs me that it is very doubtful whether this is the 

 true Dundry-Hill form.
