REPORT ON THE BRACHIOPODA. 



11 



Catalogue of the recent Species of Brachiopoda at present known, a\'ith 



INDICATION of THE HabITATS AND RaNGE OF DePTH AT WHICH EACH SpECIES 

 HAS BEEN FOUND. 



A point of interrogation has been placed before uncertain or not sufficiently deter- 

 mined species or varieties, and an asterisk before those dredged by the Challenger 

 Expedition. The hitherto ascei'tained depth of the habitat of each species is given in 

 fathoms in the left-hand column. 



Class BRACHIOPODA, Cuvier. 



Clistenterata, King. 



Genus Terebratula, Llliwyd. 



LooiJ small and simple, attached to Mnge plate only ; no septum in dorsal valve.

TerehraMa vitrea, Born, 1780. 



Anomia vitrea, Born, Mus. Vind., p. 119. 



*Terehratulavifrea,var. ?HiViO?-, Philippl, MoU. Sicil., 1836, 

 = T. affinis, Calcara, 1845. It is often difficultly dis- 

 tinguishable from the young shell of r. vitrea. 



Terebratula vitrea, var. clavidsoni, A. Adams, Proc. Zool. 

 Soc, p. 314, pi. xix. fig. 30, 1867, &c. Dr G-(vyn 

 Jeffreys considers this to he identical with T. vitrea (f). 



Terebratula vitrea, var. (1) sphenoidea, Philippi, MoU. 

 Sicil., vol. ii. p. 67, pi. xviii. fig. 6, 1844, is, according 

 to Dr Gwyn Jeffreys, a var. of T. vitrea. See Proc. 

 Zool. Soc, 1878; but there is a marked difference 

 in the shape of the loop. 

 (t) Terebratula vitrea, var. cernica, Crosse, Journ. Conchyl., 

 vol. xxi. p. 285, 1873, and vol. xxii. p. 75, pi. i. fig. 

 3, 1874. Very little is lmo-\vn of this species. Only 

 one specimen is recorded. It is, perhaps, a variety of 

 T. vitrea or of T. cubensis, but not of T. uva. 

 * Terebratula cubensis, Pom'tales, BuU, Mus. Comp. Zool., 

 vol. i. p. 109, 1867. Its loop difi"ers from that of T. 

 vitrea, but is not unlike that of T. gphenoidea.
