REMAINS OF MACROUROUS AND BRACHYUROUS 
CRUSTACEA IN THE INFERIOR OOLITE OF THE 
STONESFIELD (OXON.)-BURTON-BRADSTOCK 
(DORSET) DISTRICT. 
BY 
L. RICHARDSON. 
Remains of macrourous and brachyurous Crustacea are very 
rare in the Inferior Oolite of the district between Stonesfield in 
Oxfordshire and Burton Bradstock in Dorset. The only locality 
where they can be said to be numerous is Doulting, near Shepton 
Mallet, Somerset, where they have been obtained mostly from 
the Rubbly Beds, rarely from the Anabacia- Limestones, both of 
them subdivisions of schlcenbachi hemera. There are nineteen 
pieces of Eryma sp. (the majority the fixed ultimate joints) in 
the Shepton Mallet museum , 1 but they probably represent the 
result of many years’ collecting, because specimens are but 
rarely met with on an occasional visit to the quarries. 
A few minute fixed ultimate joints of Eryma sp. have been 
obtained by Mr. Charles Upton by “ washing ” samples of the 
Sponge Beds (schlcenbachi) of Peas-Hill Quarry, Shipton Gorge, 
Dorset. 
Prosopon richardsoni H. Woodward (now in the British 
Museum, Natural History Dept.) was obtained from the Top 
Beds — probably from the White Oolite (schlcenbachi hemera) — 
at Winner Hill, near Wotton-under-Edge, in the South 
Cotteswolds . 2 
I have not observed any remains of macrourous or brachy- 
urous Crustacea in rocks dating from garantiance to concavi 
hemera inclusive in the Stonesfield — Burton-Bradstock district.
