page 392 note 1 Without attempting a revision of the Inoceramoid shells, it is necessary to remind the student that Orbigny was the first palæontologist to recognize the importance of separating into two species the forms which Goldfuss had included under Cripsi in the Petrefacta Germaniæ. He therefore substituted Goldfussianus for Cripsi, because the latter name was preoccupied by Mantell for a shell of different form and horizon (Cenomanian), limiting its application to the example represented by fig. 4d of the Goldfuss plate 112; whilst that of regularis was acknowledged to embrace figs. 4a, b, c of the same plate (see Orbigny, , Pal.
