Diagnosis. Shell ovate, more or less elongated ; unequally convex and flattened ; 

 ventral valve commonly the deepest, with a slight and shallow longitudinal sinus ; beak 

 acute, moderately incurved ; foramen small, circular, and surrounded by a deltidium. 

 The dorsal valve is regularly convex to within a short distance of the front, where the sur- 

 face exhibits either two or more plaits, with a mesial depression along the middle ; 

 externally, each valve is ornamented by numerous minute longitudinal striae, which some- 

 times dichotomise near their extremities, or unite towards the front and lateral margins, 

 forming a series of larger ribs ; the lateral margins are but slightly flexuous, the frontal 

 edge of the ventral valve indenting more or less that of the dorsal one. 



Dimensions variable : length 8, width 1\, depth 6 lines ;

05s. This remarkable species was insufficiently figured and named (but not described) 

 by Professor Phillips, from an unusually large example (PI. XII, fig. 6,) obtained by 

 Mr. Bean, in the Speeton Clay of Knapton, Yorkshire. The original type, still in the 

 possession of Mr. Bean, was kindly forwarded for my examination, and I at once per- 

 ceived that it belonged to the genus E/ti/nc/ionella ; the external surface is entirely covered 

 by delicate longitudinal striae, 7 or 8 occupying the breadth of a line. 



1 Both Miinster and Goldfuss have given many MS. names to species of Brachiopoda in the shape of 

 catalogues, as well as to specimens in the Museum of Bonn ; but these can claim no right to priority, never 

 having been described nor figured, but in some cases having been adopted and referred to by Palaeontologists. 

 It may not prove devoid of interest to add some particulars kindly communicated by Dr. F. Reamer, of Bonn.
