III.—Descriptions of some new Eocene Species of Cypræa and Marginella

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  01 May 2009

Extract

Since the publication by the palæontographical Society of the third part of my monograph of the ‘Eocene Mollusca’, containing descriptions of the several Eocene species of Cypræa then known, I have obtained from the beds in the New Forest, foeming parts of the Bracklesham Bay series, several additional species; and Mr. Wetherell has also been so fortunate as to obtain another remarkably fine species from the cutting lately made near Highgate for the Highgate and Edgeware Railway. I now forward descriptions of these new Cyprœœ for publication in ‘The Geological Magazine;’ and I avail myself of the same opportunity to correct an error committed by me in the same part of my monograph, in referring to Marginella pusilla, a species described by me from High Cliff, a small Marginella from Headon Hill, which I now propose to seperate under the specific name œstuarina.
