OE SOUTHERN INDIA. 195 



72. — /. Heherti, Favre^ 1. cit.^ p. 112^ has quite the external form of a Glossus, but the hinge 

 is unknown. 



73. — /. planidorsatay Zitt._, is either a Glossocardia or a Venilicardia, 



74-84. — Coquand (Monog. Etage Aptien de TEspagne, 1865, p. 109, &c.,) describes the 

 following : — Cyprina expansa, C. a^uilateralis, C, curvirostris, C. cannaia^ C. inornata, C. Saussuri^ 

 and C. modesta ; Isocardia pusilla and Iso. nasuta ; Cj/pricardia secans and C. nucleus; of none 

 of these species are the hinge-teeth known, and the generic determination is, therefore, quite 

 problematic. 



%h,— Isocardia crenatida, Con., is mentioned by Fraas from Palsestine, (Wiirt. Jahresh., xxiii, 

 1867, p. 238). 



'^^.-^Cyprinapinguis, Gueranger, (Album paleon. Dept. de la Sarthe, 1867, pi. 17, figs. 2-3) ; 

 UD certain. 



87-88. — Isocardia massagetica, Eichw., and J. ventricosa, Pusch, are noticed by Eichwald 

 {Leth. Eoss., livr. xi, 1867, p. 704, &c.,) as occurring in cretaceous rocks of Eussia; they only 

 externally agree with Glossus, 



89-96.— (7^/?. eximia, Eichw., C. Canoriniana, d'Orb., (7. transversa, Eichw., C, cincta, 

 Eichw., ? C. SyssolcB, Keys., C. Khoroschovensis and C, lavis, Rouil., C. Helmerseniana, d'Orb., 

 are also recorded by Eichwald from cretaceous deposits, (ibid. p. 661, &c., &c.) ; of not a single 

 species, however, have the hinge-teeth been examined. 



97-99.—%^. Mulleri, (=Cyp, rostrata, Sow., apud Miiller), C. van-Beyi, (=Cyp. Ligeriensis 

 d'Orb., apud Miiller), and Cypricardia rugata are mentioned as new by Dr. Bosquet from the 

 cretaceous deposits at Aachen (see Foss. fauna en flora van Het Krijt v. Limburg, extract from 

 Staring's Bodem v. Nederland, pt. ii, numb. 377, 378, and 380). 



100-109. — Cyprina Nicaisel, trapezoidalis and africana ; Cypricardia Tkersites j Isocardia 

 aquilina,Jtth(Sjnimida,7ieglecta,getuli7ia and Moevusi slyq described as new species by Coquand 

 from the Province Constantino ; looking at them from a conchological point of view they are 

 scarcely worth recording. 



11^-11^.— Cypricardia Galiciana, Favre, (=Crassatella tricarinata, Kner.,) and C parallela, 

 (Crassatella idem, Alth.,) are described by Favre in his descript. d. Moll. foss. de Lemberg, 

 1869, p. 109; both have the form of Trapezium, 



From America the following are recorded by Meek in his Check-list of cretaceous shells of the 

 United States (1864, Smith. Misc. Coll., No. 177). 



113-125.— (x^<s5^5 Moreauensis, Washita and Conradi of Gabb; Cyprina compressa and ovata of 

 Meek and Hayden; Venilia Conradi, Mort., V, kumilis, M. and H., V, Gabbana, M., V. Mortonl, 

 M. and H., V, subtumida, M., V, rhomboidea and trapezoidea, Conr., V, trigona, Gabb, V, Laphami, 

 Shum. sp. 



126.— Conrad in his Check-list of eocene fossils (Smiths. Misc. Coll., No. 200,) quotes 

 Cyprina Usecta from the lower eocene beds which Gabb and other geologists pronounce to be 

 cretaceous. 



127. — Trapezium carinatum, Gabb, Pal. Calif., i, p. 170. 



128. — Cypricardia texana, Romer, (Kreidegeb. von Texas, p. 50); hinge not known; the shell 

 has the appearance of an Area, 



129. — Goniosoma inflata, Conrad, vide p. 191. 



Schaf hseutl (Slid. Bayerns Leth. Geogn., 1863, pp. 265 and 268,) has an Isocardia ovum and 

 a Cyprina acuminata, but whether those insufficient casts to which these names have been applied 

 are cretaceous or not the author does not say. 



130-132. — In the South Indian cretaceous deposits five species of Glossidj^ oGcm ; none of 

 them were noticed by Prof. Forbes, for the only species which he describes as Isocardia suhsinuata
