Phillips, Morris & Lycett, S. Stutch-bury, it. Damon, W. H. Hudleston, J. P. Blake, and others. The Portland Oolite, from which is derived the name ofthe Portlandian Age, is worked for building stone in DorsetBetween and Wiltshire. Two slabs of the hard Portland stone are Wall-eases shown; one of them contains shells of the lamellibranchs,5 & 6. Pcriia Bouchardi and Clilamys (Pecten) lamellosus; the otheris almost entirely composed of shells of Ceritliium concavum.In the middle of the gallery is a large block of the Eoach-bed, which is full of hollows, whence the shells have beendissolved by percolating water, leaving behind impressionsand internal casts of the following species : Trigonia gihhosa,Chlamys lawtellostis, Ostrea expansa, Lucina portlandica, andProtocardia dissimilis among lamellibranchs ; Natica clegansand Cerithiitm p)ortlandicnm among gastropods. All these Table-case gj^ells may be better studied in the Table-case, as well as B.M. GUIDE FOSS. INVERT. PLATE VI.
