46 SUPPLEMENT TO THE 



The general facies of the fossils found in them corresponds almost exactly with that of 

 Biidesheim in the Eifel. They are small, and have not suffered much injury before 

 fossilisation. In neither place is the number of species at all great, and yet there are at 

 least seven species (and probably more) common to both localities. 



The most characteristic shell in both places is Cardiola retrostriata (von Buch), and 

 this also occurs in an equivalent position in the Devonian rocks near Convin, in Belgium, 

 in beds called '• Schistes de Matagne " by Professors Gosselet and Malaise. 



Mr. Lee has collected very large numbers of fossils at Saltern, but he has discovered 

 only one single specimen of a Brachiopod there, and although this fossil is unfortunately at 

 present mislaid, it is probable that it belongs to the species under notice, since Bh. subre- 

 niformis is the only Brachiopod that is at all common at Biidesheim. 



I have also compared the Saltern Cove specimen with examples of BIl. subreniformis 

 sent to me by Dr. Sandberger, and which he obtained from the Upper Devonian of the 

 Cobrieres (Herault) Prance.

At page 03 of my * Devonian Monograph ' I considered Phillips's species as a variety 

 of R7i.pu(/ms of Martin. Having subsequently been able to re-examine and compare a 

 number of specimens of B. anisodonta, I feel disposed to agree with ]\Ir. Whidborne 

 that they present a defined, fixed, and not very variable form, sufficiently different 

 from Bh. pvgnus to lead us to believe the two to be specifically distinct. 



Specimens agreeing in every respect with Martin's B. jmgniis have, however, been 

 found in the Middle-Devonian Limestone at Woolborough Quarry, near Newton Abbot. 

 It will, therefore, be desirable to retain the two forms as specifically distinct. Several 

 examples of this shell have been found by Mr. J. E. Lee in a Devonian limestone at 

 Dunscombe, near Chudleigh, on one of Lord Clifford's farms.

Some very good examples of a variety of this species with large ribs have been 

 rccentlv found in the Middle Devonian at liummaton, near Torquay. Of one of these I
