Extract

The specific name of this form is not in doubt, but its authorship is less securely determined. The species Terebratula cuneata was proposed by both Dalman (1828, 141, Tab. vi, figs. 3a–c)and Hisinger (1828, 220, 239, Tab. vi, fig. 5) in the same year, and the first time each author mentions the name, he ascribes it to the other. Each account is accompanied by figures, and there appears to be no ruling of the International Commission on Nomenclature that would settle the authorship in such a case. Dalman's account, however, appears in the volume for 1827, though the title page bears the imprint 1828, and such a choice of authorship agrees with alphabetical priority and with the usage of most subsequent palaeontologists.
