These specimens can scarcely be satisfactorily distinguished fiom the 

 A7iisoceras which Stoliczka describes and figures under the name A. Indi- 

 cum in the " Pcila?ontologia Indica," but which Kossmat says is the Ha- 

 raites suhcompressus of E. Forbes. Dr. Kossmat, who has kindly compared 

 two of those from Comox with Indian specimens, has come to the same 

 conclusion. " Tiie specimens from Vancouver," he writes, "agree, when 

 adult, in all features with Forbes' U. subcoitijjressus, but in young stages 

 their section is almost circular, whilst the true //. sabcoivprest<us has 

 in all stages a compressed, oval section. " The Vancouver specimens, 

 therefore, are, to a certain extent, intermediate between //. Lndicus and 

 H. subcompressiis, but are more connected with the latter. They seem, 

 also, to have some constrictions, which are a common feature of //. siib- 

 compressuf."

Since the second part of this volume was written, the writer has seen a 

 few additional specimens of Baculites collected at Comox by Lady Dou- 

 glas in 1889, at Hornby Island by Mr. Harvey in 189-i, and at the Sucia 

 Islands by Dr. Newcombe in 1894. These are here referred to £. Chi- 

 coensis, in accordance with the opinion expressed by Ur. C A. White in 

 18S9 (op. cit. supra), in which the writer fully concurs, that he has 

 " much doubt whether there is more than one species of Baculites in the 

 Vancouver group."
