Kurzfassung
Die seltenen silurischen Vertreter der Ordnung Endocerida werden revidiert, neu beschrieben und abgebildet. Die ArtTretoceras bisiphonatum aus dem Llandovery von Wales wird der Ordnung zugerechnet. Kanadische Formen aus dem Llandovery und Wenlock,Cameroceras hudsonicum und Arten vonHumeoceras, vervollständigen das bisher bekannte Spektrum.
Abstract
The rare Silurian representatives of the Order Endocerida are reviewed, described afresh, and illustrated. The Welsh Llandovery speciesTretoceras bisiphonatum is assigned to the order.
