from Unikvvelane Hill (see p. 247), and the slight differences between 

 the fragments themselves and the figured specimen (PI. XXI, fig. 2) 

 may be due to weathering. The ornament thus appears perhaps more 

 distinct, after the style of P. inter cal are, Meek, and the periphery may 

 be just a trifle narrower. Like the type, these two examples differ 

 from P. tamulicum, Blanford sp., chiefly in being fatter in the umbilical 

 region. The suture-line is worn, but its plan agrees with that of the 

 Indian species.*

A small specimen (No. 4935) agrees with one of the examples 

 described by Crickf as Nautilus (? E utrephoceras) sp., both in whorl- 

 shape and elegant, ornamentation, as in the mode of preservation 

 (brown liinonite coating), but on account of its annular lobe and 

 elegans-like (if fine) striation is referred to Cymatoceras. At a diameter 

 of 40 mm. the whorl-thickness is 30 mm. ; the siphuncle is centran 

 and the umbilicus not quite closed. 



Spengler thought Crick's Nautilus [Cymatoceras?'] occlusus to be 

 close to the species here discussed, but the latter is less globose. 

 Cymatoceras kossmati, Spengler sp.,+ agrees in whorl-shape, but the 

 costation is much coarser, as it also is in the Utatur species C. kayeanum, 

 Blanford sp.
