Lower Dunscombe, near Chudleigh, whose fossils correspond with those of Adolf 

 and Oberscheld, and which should therefore be placed at the base of the Upper 

 Devonian and immediately below the Saltern -Cove series. From this place Prof. 

 Romer 1 records Goniatites intumescens, G. multilobatus, Beyr. (= G. Sagittarius, 

 Sandb.), and Orthoceras acuarium, . Miinst. ? ; and Dr. Kayser 2 adds to these 

 Goniatites acutus, Miinst., and G. simplex, von Buch. 



Dr. Holl, 3 in his paper on Devonshire, enumerates twenty-four South Petherwyn 

 species, viz. Orthoceras cinctum, Sow., 0. laterale, Phill., 0. striatum, Sow., 0. 

 ludense, Sow., 0. striatulum, Sow., 0. Phillipsii, d'Orb., Poterioceras fusiforme, 

 Sow.?, Cyrtoceras rusticum, Phill., Goniatites bifer, Phill., G. vinctus, Sow. (=G. 

 insignis, Phill.), G. linearis, Miinst., G. subsulcatus, Bronn, Nautilus megasipho, 

 Phill., and eleven Glymenise. 



In the first volume of his ' British Museum Catalogue ' Foord describes ten 

 Orthocerata, one Actinoceras, and two Cyrtocerata from Devonshire, though in 

 many cases the poorness of the specimens prevented him from giving them specific 

 names. Three of these species, Orthoceras laterale, Phill.?, 0. ? tentaculare, Phill., 

 and 0. Vennense, Foord (^0. cylindraceum, Sow. and Phill., not Fleming), are 

 from Mudstone Bay. He also doubtfully refers a specimen from Lower Dunscombe 

 to Actinoceras striatum, Sow., sp. 



The number of Devonian Cephalopods given in Etheridge's ' Catalogue,' 

 excluding three repetitions, is fifty-seven.

 Explanation of the Plate, to the Torquay Museum.
