 t. 7. f. 6-8 ; Sowerby, Mineral Conchology, t. 590. f. 1 ; DeBlain- 

 ville, Memoire sur les Belemnites, pi. 4. f. 6. 



Belemnites paxillosus, numismalis, Quenstedt, 1848, Cephalopoda, 

 t. 23. f. 21, 22. 



This species is fonnd in the Middle Lias at Charmouth from the 

 bed with Ammonites Jamesoni, Sow., to that with Ammonites Davoei, 

 Sow. It was collected in Crick Tunnel, near Daventry, and is also 

 found in the lower beds of the Middle Lias, with Terebratula numis- 

 malis, Lamk., at Cheltenham. Two specimens have been collected 

 from the Pabba shales ; although only 6 inches in length, they are 

 good type-forms of this species. In France it is found in the Middle 

 Lias in twelve different Departments, and in Wurtemberg it forms 

 a characteristic fossil of the Lias y. of Quenstedt, and " der mittlere 

 Lias" of Dr. Oppel.

paxillosus amalthei, Quenstedt, Cephalopoda, t. 24. f. 4. 



Three specimens of this species were collected from the Middle 

 Lias shales of Pabba, but the distinct horizon in which they occur 

 has not been noted. In Gloucestershire it is found in the Marl- 

 stone with Ammonites margaritatus, Montf., and in the same rock 

 at South Petherton with that Ammonite. In France it has been 

 collected from the same horizon ; and in Southern Germany, Dr. 

 Oppel says it is one of the most widely distributed species of the 

 Margaritatus-bed.
