considerably from that of B. incurvatus, Dujardin,* and is closer to 

 that of B. fail-bit it Jtsi, Anderson, t characterised by broad and low 

 saddles and small lobes. B. vagina, Forbes, has an entirely different 

 suture-line % ; and in that of the probably Turouian B. (jracilis, 

 Shumard, in Stanton, which also is comparatively simple, the lateral 

 saddle is too high and too narrow, and the second lateral lobe too 

 deep. On the other hand, the suture-line figured by Boule, Lemoine 

 and Thcvenin || as that of Cyrtucheilus baculoides, Mantell sp., agrees 

 very well with that of the South African species, and that of B. 

 bohemicus, Fritsch and Schloenbach,^| also is very similar.** 



The form figured by Boule, Lemoiue and Thcvenin ft as Baculites 

 riiijhui (Forbes), var. otacodensis Kossmat, seems to agi'ee much 

 more with Woods' species than with the Indian form.

 are comparable with the fragment figured by Etheridge+J from Umkwe-

J The suture-line in Steinmanu (Quinquina, loc. cit., 1895, p. 91, text-fig. 8), 

 is different from that of Forbes' type (B.M. No. R10488, Geol. Soc. Coll.) and 

 of Indian specimens in the writer's collection.

** The suture-lines of the varieties valognensis and leopuliensis of B. anceps 

 (Nowak, " Untersuch. Poln. Kreide.," I, Baculitc$,'T3u\\. Ac. Sci. Cracovie/ 1908, 

 p. 331, text-figs. 1-4 and 5-10) are of the same type, but with a more complex 

 ventral lobe. The suture-line (drawn by the late G. C. Crick) of a Pondoland 

 example (B.M., No C19420), represented in fig. 7 of PI. XXIV, is characterised by 

 a wider inferior lateral lobe than that of the specimen 5486, here figured (PI. 

 XXIV, fig. 6). On the other hand, the very similar suture-line of B. oberholzeri, 

 Bohm (in Bohm and Heim, " Senonbild. d. O. Schweiz. Alp.," ' Abh. Schw. Pal. 

 Ges.,' vol. xxxvi (1909), p. 52, pi. i, fig. 9), varies in just the opposite direction. 

 The minute B. n. sp. in Jahn ('Beitr. z. Kenntn d. Bohm. Kreide. Jb. K.K.R.A.,' 

 vol. xlv [1895], p. 136, pi. viii, figs. 8 a-c) has a suture-line very similar to that 

 of the Pondoland example, but the lobes are not clearly bifid.
