OF SOUTHERN INDIA. 487 



I am not certain whether the same objections which I have recorded against 

 adopting Granocardmm should not be repeated in the present case. The fact is, 

 that numel-ous recent and fossil Trachycardia have the spines placed so low laterally 

 on the ribs that they almost appear to originate between the ribs, and have quite 

 the appearance of doing so when the furrows are not perfectly well exposed from 

 the rock in which the shells are found imbedded, I cannot easily imagine what 

 kind of a mantle-edge the animal must have possessed in order to produce sharp 

 radiating ribs and again in the interstices long spines. 



Conrad says that Gabb's C. multiradiatum and C. Baulinianum also belong 

 to the same sub-genus. I do not think any necessity exists for separating them 

 from the sub-genus Fectunculus or Tr achy car dium. The latter species has been by 

 an oversight suggested to belong to Lcemcardium (on p. 213, sub-No. 51).

Under No. 65. Cardium Ottonis (baud Ottoi). Glimbel, (Ostbayerisch. 

 Grenzgeb., 1868, p. 765,) gives a figure of, and some additional information about, 

 this species. 



65(^. Cardium (Cerastoderma) Eggeri, Glimbel, (ibidem, p. 765, fig. 4,) from 

 Marterberg (Bavaria). 



655. Cardium Friesenense, Gtimbel, (Abhandl. Munchner Akad., x, p. 569,) 

 from Priesen in Bohoemia. The species is said to be allied to C. semipapillatum, 

 Eeuss, which is either a Cerastoderma, or perhaps a Fapyridea. 



66. C intermedium, Eeuss, is stated by Giimbel (loc. cit.) to be a young 

 form of C. produGtum,^ow., -with, which. ^\^o C. alternans, Ess., is identical. In 

 place of the above species add Lcemcardium Brohei, Briart et Cornet, (Foss. de 

 Bracquegnies, 1868, p. 67, pi. vii, figs. 1—3, in Mem, Cour. Acad., Belg., xxxiv).

5. Syndonites, Pirona, differs from Sphcerulites, and allied genera, by the 

 absence of a cardinal fold, and by having the cardinal teeth grown together almost 

 in their entire length. The typical species is S. Stoppaniana, Pir., from cretaceous 

 beds of the Medea Hill in Priaul. 



I am acquainted with this genus merely from a notice in the ' Sitzungsberichte' 

 of the Geol. Institute, Vienna, for 1870, p. 222. It is published by Pirona, with 

 many other new species of Sifpubitibje^ in the Mem. dell Inst. Veneto di scienze, 

 V, xiv, for 1869. 



On page 241 add — 



79-91. — Sphcerulites MenegUana, Visianica, Fasiniana, Guiscardiana, Medeen^ 

 sis, Catulli and ponderosa ; Badiolites Zignoana, Gastaldiana, Taramelli, fascicularis 

 and Masalongiana, and Syndonites Stoppaniama, are described as new species by Prof. 

 Pirona in a paper entitled " Le Hippuritidi del coUe di Medea nel Priauli/' pub- 

 lished in Mem. dell Inst. Veneto di sc, V, xiv, for 1869.
