APPENDIX.
CATALOGUE OF SPECIES OF MARINE ANIMALS,
The remains of which are found Fossil in Beds of the Glacial Epoch.
[In the following catalogue I have endeavoured to rectify the nomenclature of the species. The principal synonyms are given; the chief localities in which the species are found fossil in formations of the Glacial epoch; their distribution at present in the sea; and a concise geological history of each, so far as the British area is concerned.]
VERTEBRATA.
Mammalia.
The following Cetacea, probably belonging to beds of this epoch are enumerated by Professor Owen:—
Phoæna crassidens.
Monodon monoceros.
Physæter macrocephalus.
Balænoptera boops.
Balæna mysticetus.
Pisces.[1]
Mallotus villosus.
Locality, fossil. Canada (Mr. Logan).
Loc., living, Greenland.
Mollusca.
Brachiopoda.
1. Terebratula psittacea. (Anomia sp.), Linnæus.
Loc., fossil. Ayrshire. Bramerton. (Canada.)
Loc., living. Seas of Newfoundland, Labrador, Greenland, and Norway. It is inserted in British lists, on doubtful authority. In a copy in my pos- session of the "Catalogue of North British Testacea," by Captain Laskey, interleaved and enriched with manuscript notes in the author's handwriting, is the following memorandum:—"Terebratula psittacea, Turton. The under valve was found by me on the shore of Aberlady Bay, at low water, and since, a perfect specimen by dredging in the deeps of the Frith of Forth. 20th July, 1825."
2. Terebratula caput serpentis.
Syn., T. aurita, Fleming, T. costata. Lowe.
Loc., fossil. Sweden.
- ↑ One of the freshwater fishes in the Mundesley beds was identified by Mr. Yarrel with Esox lucius. At present the pike is the only freshwater fish common to Europe and America.
