men is flattened but it has box-like anterior margin and bifurcated ribs. The valves are relatively flat at the Mondsee specimen, but they shows also box-like form. Cirpa subcosiellata (GEMMELLARO, 1878) (Plate VI: 21-23) — Fourteen specimens were collected at five localities of the Schafberg slopes and Mondsee. Some Hungarian Sinemurian specimens (Gerecse Mts) has high uniplication, while other samples (Márkó) show smaller uniplication (DULAI in press). This latter form is more similar to the figures given by GEMMELLARO (1878) and BÖSE (1898). The uniplication is very variable at the Schafberg material: higher at railway terminus and lower at Mondsee. The uniplication is asymmetrical (mainly at Mondsee) and the ribs are sometimes bifurcated. The studied specimen is very wide at the railway terminus. The convexity of the pedicle and brachial valves are equal; it is a difference from the Hungarian material but it is similar to BÖSE's (1898) figures. Calcirhynchia fascicostata (UHLIG, 1879) — Eight small-sized brachiopods were found at three collecting points. BÖSE & SCHLOSSER (1900) and PRINCIPI (1910) showed high uniplication but at the same time UHLIG's (1879) material and the Hungarian Sinemurian specimens (DULAI in press) show rectimarginate anterior commissure or the uniplication is very low. The uniplicate specimen found at the tunnel of Schafberg is unusually large. AlJvíÉRAS (1964) classified this species into Sqttamirhynchia with question mark, but recently VÖRÖS (1997) and SlBLÍK (2002) regarded this species as member of Caldrhynchia. Calcirhynchia pHcatissima (QUENSTEDT, 1852) (Plate VI: 24—26) — Fifteen brachiopods were found at four collecting points. The Suissensee specimen is small and roundish with few ribs (10—11, of which four are stronger at the middle part of the shell). The smaller specimens are more flattened, while the larger ones are more globular at the railway terminus of Schafberg. The figured material from Mondsee shows 1—1 stronger ribs running to the comers of the anterior margin. The uniplication is strong and angular. Detailed systematic description was given by DULAI (1992) and the variability

7 of this species (convexity, uniplication) is shown by DULAI tin press). SULSER (1993) ranged this species into Mediterranirhynchia with question mark. Calcirhynchia sp. — Two badly preserved specimens occurred along the slopes of Schafberg. A small and flat specimen with few weak ribs was found at the railway station terminal. It has fewer ribs than C. fascicostata, without bifurcation. Salgirella cf. albertii (OPPEL, 1861) — Two brachiopods were collected on the Schafberg slopes. Both are poorly preserved but they show few and strong ribs, without planareas. The new subspecies (minor) described by ORMÓS (1937) probably does not belong to S. albertii because of the high number of ribs and the very low uniplication. (The re-examination of the Kék-hegy locality in the Bakony Mts is in progress). HAAS (1912) also described a relative taxon with very different characters (ribs do not run throughout along the valves; very wide uniplication with more ribs; definite planareas). Detailed systematic description of this species was given by DULAI (1993 and in press). Salgirella ? cf. magnicostata (ORMÓS, 1937) (Plate VI: 27-29) — Seven specimens were collected at five localities along the Schafberg slopes and Mondsee. This species was described from similar facies of the Bakony Mts by ORMÓS (1937, Kék-hegy, Hierlatz type limestone). According to ORMÓS (1937) S. magnicostata is one of the biggest rhynchonellids in the Bakony Mts (3 cm in length). It is similar to S. albertii but this latter species has stronger and sharper ribs. The valves are rather convex and wider than long (one specimen is more flattened and uniplicate) at the Schafberg slopes. The Mondsee specimens show 10—12 strong ribs, slight uniplication and more flattened valves. It is the first record of this species from the Northern Calcareous Alps. Homoeorhynchia ? prona (OPPEL, 1861) — Only one fragmentary

7 specimen was found on the slopes of the Schafberg. The generic classification of the species is uncertain but recently several authors classified this species into Homoeorhynchia with question mark (e.g. VÖRÖS 1997; SlBLÍK 2002; DULAI in press). SlBLÍK (1993) mentioned closely relative form from the Alps Ç'rXIynchonella" aff.prona, Steinplatte). Detailed systematic description is given by DULAI (in press). Piarorbynchia ? caroh (GEMMELLARO, 1878) (Plate VI: 30-31) — Eight brachiopods were collected at three collecting points. This species was regarded as synonymous with C. cartieri \n an earlier publication (DULAI 1992) but this view is not followed in this paper. The Schafberg specimens are quite bigger and wider than the Early Sinemurian material from the Gerecse Mts (DULAI in press). The Mondsee specimens are especially wide. The pedicle valve is very flat and the planareas are not so deep. The ribs are sometimes bifurcated. The generic classification of the species is uncertain. SULSER (1993) classified this species into Calcirhynchia hut VÖRÖS (1997) and SlBLÍK (2002) opinion is followed in this paper. Cuneirhynchia cartieri (OPPEL, 1861) (Plate VI: 32-34) — Sixteen specimens were found at four localities. C. cartieri and Piarorbynchia ? caroli are regarded as separate species in this paper and not synonymous as in DULAI (1992). The pedicle valves of the Mondsee specimens are very flat. The same phenomenon can be observed at some other species of this locality

; it was probably caused by local environmental factors, e.g. currents. One of the specimens from the Schwartzensee is flat, its planareas are small and the anterior commissure is slightly sulcate. Some C. cartieri, found on the Schafberg slopes, have rather convex valves, they are similar to the globular specimens, found at Lókúti-domb of the Bakony Mts (DULAI 1990, 1992).
