calcareous deposits now in progress offormation in our lakes. In the lacustrine limestones of the Isle of Wight (atBinstead, White Cliflf, &c.), beautiful specimens may be obtained. ProfessorE. Forbes has discovered Gyrogonites in the Wealden strata of the Isle of Purbeck,associated with shells of the genera Planorbis, Physa, Paluolina, &c. See Geological Excursions round the Isle of Wight. 2d Edit. 1850, p. 108. 144 rOSSIL FAUNA. PLATE JjXU.—continued. Fig. 25. Polystcmiella crispa, of Linnaeus.

FOSSIL FAUNA. 145 PLATE LXIII. TrIGONIjE. Figs. 1, & 2, represent the structure of the hinge in both valves of a genus of bivalves ofwhich numerous fossil species are met with in the secondary strata, and two or threespecies still exist in the Pacific Ocean. The genus is named Trigonia, from the formof the hinge, and the specific names below are those given by Mr, Parkinson. Fig. 3. Trigonia clavellata, of Parkinson, from the Kimmeridge clay, Hartwell, Bucks. Fig. 4. Trigonia costata, Oxford clay, Wilts. Fig. 5. Trigonia excentrica; upper greensand, Blackdown. Like most of the shells from thislocality, the Trigonia are transmuted into silex. Fig. 6. Trigonia dwdalea, Blackdown. Fig. 7. spinosa, Blackdown. Fig. 8. Enlarged view of the spines of the above. Fig. 9. Trigonia alceformis, Blackdown. Fig. 10. rudis, Blackdown. Fig. II. a bivalve shell of the genus Productus (P. antiqiiatus, of Sowerby?), from the Moun-tain limestone.
