NAUTILUS pentagonus. 
TAB. CCXLIX.--- Fig. 1. 
Spec. Cuir. Discoid, subcarinated; inner turns 
partly concealed ; aperture orbicular, obscure-

being about one-third covered by the outer. The septa 
are not very concave, rather numerous, with a central 
siphuncle. The surface is apparently smooth. The 
young shells seem to be less angular than the older 
ones. 
The first specimen I received of this Nautilus was

given to me by my friend Dawson Turner, Esq. [I lately 
received several specimens in red Limestone, from the 
same quarries at Closeburn which produced the gigan- 
tic Orthocera, tab. 246. through the liberality of C. S. 
Menteith, Esq. They are probably what Jameson has 
spoken of as large Ammonites. I do not know they 
are found much larger than the figure. 
NAUTILUS bilobatus. 
TAB. CCXLIX.--- Figs. 2 and 3. 
Spec. Cuar. Subglobose, umbilicated ; septa two- 
lobed ; aperture 3 or 4 times as wide as long. 
A NEARLY globose shell, with the front a little flattened, 
the umbilicus is small and nearly cylindrical ; the si-
