SCALA (BORKOSCAIiA) CJRCENLANDTCA. 547 



Fossil: Coralline Crag : Sutton. 



EemnrJcs. — The specimens represented under this name arc probably the same 

 as that figured by Wood and identified by him, though doubtfully, with Brocchi's 

 species.^ One of them (fig. 15) belongs to the Wood Collection in the Castle 

 Museum at Norwich, where it bears, in his well-known writing, the name 8. 

 (jpniculata. In a letter recently received from M. de Boury the latter expressed a 

 strong opinion that Wood's shell is not that described by Brocchi, but an 

 nndescribed form which he suggested may be called ^S^. {Civsotrema) signata. 



The specimen, no. 16, belongs to the Reed Collection at York, where it bears 

 the name of S. fiiiiicnlns. I do not think it is that species, which is, in my opinion, 

 more correctly represented in my IMate XLVIII, fig. 8.
