DAVIDSON — KASHMERE BEACHIOPODA. 45 



median concave groove commencing at the extremity of the beak and 

 extending to the front ; four obscure rounded ribs of very small ele- 

 vation may be traced on the lateral portions of the valve in contiguity 

 as to the central groove. I have seen but a single incomplete spe- 

 cimen of this species, which occurs in the same coarse light-grey 

 limestone which contains Productus Icevis. From the Zewan beds, 

 Yalley of Kashmere. 



23. DisciNA Kashiieriensis, spec. nov. PL II. fig. 19. 



Shell marginally ovate or longitudinally oval, the posterior portion 

 being narrower than the anterior. The imperforate valve is con- 

 vex, and most elevated towards the middle, the rounded apex 

 sometimes projecting beyond the level of the posterior margin. 

 Surface smooth. Length 13, width 11 Knes. 



Of this curious species two specimens were found at Khoonmoo, in 

 the YaUey of Kashmere.
