III.—Contributions to Carboniferous Palæontology

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  01 May 2009

Extract

In the July Number of the GeologicalMagazine, I described certain new species of bivalve Mollusca from the Carboniferous series of Scotland. These will now be found on Plate XII., accompanied by three other well-marked forms from the same formation, and which appear to me to be undescribed. In Messrs. Young and Armstrong's Catalogue of the Carboniferous Fossils of the West of Scotland is recorded a new species of Pteronites, under the specific name of P. fluctuosus (Etheridge, MS.), a shell so named by my father, but never yet described. P. fluctuosus is specifically remarkable for its small size, and the absence of ribs on the anterior side.
