cond (Plates II. and IV.) Only those which are found on the former
page are furnished with letters, which refer to Swedexborg’s explanation,
partly in the text, partly in the Index petrificatorum.15°
Four years ago I sent prints of the plates to Professor E. Holzapfel
of Aix-la-Chapelle, in order to ascertain whether the illustrations permitted
of the determination of the fossils, and he in answering communicated
that »von den abgebildeten Fossilien sind eine gute Anzahl sofort und
sicher bestimmbar, andere zweifelhaft oder unbestimmbar».
The determinations carried out by Professor Holzapfel are given
below with Swedexborg’s own titles in parentheses.
R. Serpula tuba Goldf. (»Tubuli vel penicilli marini»).
S. Turritélla sp. (»Pectunculi cum turbine»).
T. Trigonia Vaalsiensis J. Böhm. (»Pecten gematus»).
V. ? (»Chama aspera Belion, ut credo»).
W. Turritélla sexlineata Rom. (»W, X, C Turbines longi»).
X. Turritélla sp. Unsicher bestimmbar. C?
Y. Serpula filiformis Goldf. (»Tubuli alii parvi vermiculares»).
Z. Pectuncidus Geinitzii d’Orb. Fragment. (»Species Tellinae»).
A.? (»Pecten»). B.?
D. Ostrea laciniata Nilss. (»B, D Conchae longiores, Rondels: ex
materia chrystallina, cum parvis chrystallis intus»).
E. ? (»Musculus cum inclusis pectunculis et turbinite»).
F. ? (»Ghama levis»).
G. Vola quadricostata Sow. (»Pecten»).
H. Cfr. Cardium Marquarti Mull. (»H, M Pectunculi partim
sabulosi, partim chrystallini»; M is not found among the figures).
I. Tapes faba Sow. sp. (»Coneha rugosa»).1
K. »Microbacia coronula Goldf.» (»Arundo fracta»).
L. Pecten virgatus Nilss.
On the second plate (IV.) there are four fossils delineated, of which
but two are determinable. One of these is Ostrea Goldfussi Hzl, wliile
the second contains among others what is clearly a Pecten virgatus Nilss.
Professor Holzapfel has consequently been able to identify not less
than 11 species, which demonstrates that the plates must be considered
as having been rather carefully executed.
It would seem that Swedexborg’s observations concerning Lousberg
1 »Coneha rugosa» certainly stands at F, but since F was before used for »Chama
levis», and is missing in the explanation of figures. there is probably a printer’s
error liere.
