The Maich Shell Bed of the Limestone Coal Group of the Carboniferous of North Ayrshire bears a dominantly lamellibranch fauna but includes the brachiopod Lingula squamiformis Phillips. The majority of the shells are here referred to Myalina magna (Hind). An emended description of this species is given, and its affinities with certain species of Myalina and Naiadites from the Namurian and Lower Carboniferous are discussed. The variation in the Myalina community and the distortion due to crushing are examined, and an attempt made to distinguish between them.
