Extract

As part of the preparation for reviewing the Paleozoic rhynchonellids for the revised brachiopod treatise, one of us (NMS) requested help from Dr. Howard Brunton, of the Natural History Museum (British Museum, London) in obtaining type material of Propriopugnus pugnus (Martin) to further investigate the internal features. Dr. Brunton kindly sent a Natural History Museum specimen that he considers to be close to the lectotype. This specimen has been photographed and sectioned, and it is described below.
