II.—On Italian Tertiary Brachiopoda

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  01 May 2009

Extract

No very perfect example of this species appears to have been collected; the one figured in my plate was kindly given to me by Sig. Meneghini. The shell is ovate and smooth, about ten lines in length by nine in breadth; the valves are moderately convex, and there exists a deepish sinus in the ventral valve to which corresponds an elevation or fold in the opposite one. Ter. Voglianei occurs in a yellowish marl in the Lower Miocene at Dego, and along with it is found a small Terebratulina, which may probably be a variety of T. caput-serpentis.

page 399 note 1 For the better understanding of the various Eocene localities referred to in this paper, it may be mentioned that a great alluvial depression extends between Vicenza and Schio. It is in the hill to the west of this depression that are situated Castel-vecchio, Bolea, Chiampo, Malo, St. Giovanni Ilarione, Val di Lonte, Gambugliano, Castelgomberto, and St. Urbano. In the hills to the east, in the direction of Bassano, we find Lugo, Laverda, Crosara; and still further to the east the Valle Organa and Castelcies, which are beyond Brenta, near Possagno; on the contrary Mossano, Lonigo, and Brendola are in the chain of hills known by the name of Colli Berici, which extend to the south of Vicenza, and between that town and the Monti Euganei.
