Notes on Certain Upper Devonian Brachiopods Figured by Whidborne

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  01 May 2009

Extract

The Whidborne Collection of Devonian fossils from Devon and Cornwall now in the Sedgwick Museum, Cambridge, contains the majority of the specimens and nearly all the types described and figured by him in his memoir published by the Palaeontographical Society, vols. xlii-lii, between the years 1889–1898. The following notes have been made on a re-examination of certain of his Upper Devonian specimens in the light of more recent work and other material, though unfortunately many of the fossils are too imperfectly preserved for a satisfactory determination. A comparison of several of the species with those of Sowerby's types described and figured in 1840 has been of much value. Those specimens in the Whidborne collection which require no further remarks or are so poor that a correct identification is deemed at present impossible are omitted.
