This species is represented in the Survey collection by portions of 

 two large specimens, one of which had, when perfect, a diameter of 

 about 20 cm. 



Psciidophyllites Indra has a wide geographical range. It occurs 

 in the Valudayur and Trigonoarca Beds of Pondicherri, and 

 in the Nanaimo Group of Vancouver. M. de Grossouvre considers 

 that it is identical with Gaudryceras Colloti, de Grossouvre," from the 

 Upper Campanian of the south-east of France. It is also allied to 

 Gaudryceras postremuni (Eedtenbacher)t from Gosau. 



The type of this species, and of Ammonites Garuda, which was 

 shown by Stoliczka to iDe only a young form of Pseudophyllites 

 Indra, are in the Museum of the Geological Society ot London. 

 Both come from Pondicherri. 



A small specimen of Pseudophyllites (pi. xli., fig. 6), is closely 

 allied to, and perhaps identical with P. Indra.
