APPENDIX. 
CATALOGUE OF FOSSILS 
FROM THE 
LOWER OOLITIC ROCKS OF ENGLAND, 
General remarks on the preparation of the lists of Fossils were made 
in the Memoir on the Lias. The same general plan is now adopted. 
Species whose occurrence or identification is doubtful, are either omitted, 
or they are inserted with a query. 
The species in the Museum of Practical Geology (excepting where the 
horizon is doubtful) are recorded. I have received much assistance in 
noting them from Mr. H. A. Allen. Many specimens obtained by Mr. J. 
Rhodes and myself during the progress of the work have been named by 
Messrs. Sharman and Newton. Species recorded in the volumes of the 
Palaeontographical Society, and in the later Geological Survey Memoirs, 
are included ; as well as species from other publications, a list of which 
will be given in the final volume. 
In addition to the British Museum of Natural History, the Woodwardiar. 
Museum at Cambridge, and the University Museum at Oxford, there are 
Museums at Dorchester, Sherborne (Grammar School), Bath, Bristol, 
Gloucester, Devizes, Cirencester (Royal Agricultural College), and 
Northampton, where many Oolitic fossils are preserved. A few specimens 
are to be seen in the smaller Museums at Bridport, Peterborough, and 
Stamford. 
Of private collections, in addition to those mentioned in the Memoir on 
the Lias (pp. 327, 328) there are those of Mr. S. S. Buckman at 
Oxlynch, Stonehouse ; of the late E. "Witchell, at Stroud ; of Mr. W. C. 
Lucy, at Brookthorpe, Gloucester ; of the Rev. T. W. Norwood, at Wren- 
bury, Cheshire ; Mr. W. H. Hudleston, London (including the collection of 
the Rev. A. W. Griesbach) ; Mr. James Parker, at Oxford ; Mr. F. W. 
Crick, at Bedford ; and Mr. Thomas Jesson, at Great Houghton, 
Northampton. The collection formed by the late Dr. J. Lycett is 
preserved partly in the Woodwardian Museum and partly in the Museum 
of Practical Geology ; that of "William "Walton of Bath, in the Woodwardian 
Museum, Cambridge ; that of J. C. Pearce is in the possession of his son, 
Dr. J. C. Pearce, of Ramsgate ; that of Dr. H. Porter, of Peterborough, 
was purchased by S. Sharp, and the principal portion of the Sharp 
collection was acquired by the British Museum; that of the Marquis of 
Northampton is in the Northampton Museum ; and that of Mr. H. Monk, 
of Yeovil, is in the Woodwardian Museum. 
So far as this list is concerned, it may be regarded as representing our 
general knowledge of the Fauna and Flora of the Lower Oolitic Rocks. 
Some authorities would subdivide our genera and species much more 
than is done in this list ; but such a splitting up is seldom of service to the 
etratigraphical geologist, and indeed generally renders the determination 
of the so-called species, and their use in the identification of strata, of 
value only to the specialist. 
The Ammonites are indexed under this generic name : and a list of the 
sub-genera is given for convenience of reference. 
Great assistance in the matter of nomenclature, has been derived from 
the British Museum Catalogues of Fossil Yertebrata, by Mr. R. 
Lydekker and Mr. A. Smith Woodward ; from the Catalogue of British 
Fossil Yertebrata, by Messrs. A. S. Woodward and C. D. Sherborn ; and 
the Catalogue of British Jurassic Gasteropoda, by Messrs W. II. 
Hudleston and E. Wilson.
