﻿COSTATA. 



147 



The name is intended as a slight record of my extensive obligations to Mr. 

 Cunnington in the loan Trigonia of from various formations, but more especially from 

 the Cretaceous Rocks of Wiltshire ; the number of specimens figured affords no criterion 

 of the advantages derived from the comparisons of the very numerous forms placed at my 

 disposal ; these included every example of the genus contained in a collection very 

 extensive and peculiarly local.
