Extract

The species belonging to this Order, which are enumerated below and figured in the accompanying Plate, occur in the Lower Oolites without exception. The Oxfordian beds in Yorkshire have not been productive in fossils of this kind: the onlyknown species—Actœon retusus, Phil.—has already been described in the “Corallian Gasteropoda” (Geol. Mag. 1881, p. 127, Pl. IV. Fig. 7). The Tornatellidæ are the best represented, and especially Actœonina, but none are numerous, and really good specimens, suitable for accurate description, are rare indeed.

page 202 note 1 It might seem superfluous to enumerate some of these points, which are characters of the genus; but since this species is still quoted as an Actœon in the last edition of the Geology of Yorkshire, a full description is the more necessary.
