FROM THE INFERIOR OOLITE. 



313 



I have only seen one specimen (an oblong variety) which was said to have been found in 

 the Cornbrash, near Fairford (Gloucestershire). Professor M'Coy states that it is not un- 

 common in the Inferior Oolite of Leckhampton ; but this is a mistake, as it is not within 

 the memory of any of our local collectors that any Collyrite has been found in the Inferior 

 Oolite of that locality. 



On the continent, it is found in the Marnes a Discoidees (Vesulien) cf Goldenthal, 

 Mont-Terrible, Salins, Besan9on, Neufchatcl, the Inferior Oolite (Bajocien) of Tour 

 du Pre (Yonne), and of St.-Vigor, Port-en-Bessin, Moutiers, Bayeux (Calvados). 

 It was collected by M. Triger, from the Forest Marble, Ass. No. 4, of his table, at 

 Pecheseul, Noyen, Saint-Pierre-des-Bois, Chemirede-Gaudin, departement de la Sarthe, 

 where it is abundant. 



History. — This species was recorded for the first time by Agassiz, in his ' Prodrome,' * 

 and it has been successively figured and described in his ' Echinodermes Fossiles de la 

 Suisse,' M. Desor's ' Monographic des Dysaster,' M. Cotteau's ' Etudes des Echinides 

 Fossiles,' 'Echinides du departement de la Sarthe,' and Professor Forbes's 'Memoirs of the 

 Geological Survey.' M. Desmoulins entered it in his 'Tableaux Synonymiques des 

 Echinides.' The history of this species is so intimately connected with its previous 

 description, that it is unnecessary to enter upon it further in detail under this head.
