II.—On Italian Tertiary Brachiopoda

Abstract

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.
