Tlie Cretaceous Fauna of rondolaml . 335 



Genus TETEAGONITES, Kossmat. 



Tetragonites, sp., aff. Gala (Forbes). 



Plate XLI., fig. 7. 



A small specimen, having a diameter of 29 mm., appears to be 

 closely related to, or perhaps identical with, Tetragonites Gala 

 (Forbes), ^'^ which is found in the Valudayur Group of Pondicherri. 

 The umbilicus in this specimen is not quite so wide as in Tetra- 

 gonites Gala, but the suture-line agrees very closely with the one 

 figured by Kossmat. t 



In the form of the shell it is also similar to Gaiiclr)/ceras 

 Sacya (Forbes), J, but the suture-line differs considerably. 



Genus GAUDRYCERAS, Grossouvre. 



Gaudryceeas Kayei (Forbes).

A small specimen of this species was obtained and identified by 

 Griesbach. Three other small, but less perfect, specimens have 

 been found by the Survey. In India G. Kayei occurs in the 

 Valudayur Group of Pondicherri. Steinmann identifies a specimen 

 found at Quiriquina with this species. It has also been recorded by 

 Pervinquiere from Central Tunis.
