Mr. H. J. Carter on the Fossil Foraminifera of Scinde. 373 



coloured, while the same species from parts of Scinde, associated 

 with the same kind of Foraniinifera, arc more or less without 

 colour; hence I am inclined to think that the violet colour in 

 the Kelat specimens is derived from the material in which they 

 were imbedded, for it only extends a little deeper than the sur- 

 face of the Nummulite; and this material is coloured more or 

 less red or yellow by the presence of much oxide of iron, while 

 most of those from Scinde, which are colourless, are imbedded 

 in white or greyish limestone. 



N. broachensis, Cart. (PI. XV. fig. 3, &c). — Discoidal, thick; 

 margin angular; surface smooth, presenting puncta arranged 

 spirally without striae. Spire regular; chambers increasing in 

 diameter in the direction of the spire more than in the transverse 

 direction, towards the circumference; septa curved, reflected. 



Largest size. — Breadth -f^ inch ; thickness -£% inch. Number 

 of turns in the spire, altogether, 6. 



Loc. Wasna, a little village in Rajpipla, about fifteen miles 

 E.S.E. of Broach, and about five south of Ruttunpoor (Major 

 Fulljames). 



Associates. — N. Ramondi, Orbitoides dispansa, Operculina. 



Obs. — This little Nummulite, which was first described in my 

 'Geological Papers on Western India' (p. 697, 1857), is smaller 

 than N. Lucasana, D'Archiac and Haime (pi. 8. fig. 5) ; the long 

 diameter of the outer chambers is relatively greater, and the 

 puncta tend to a concentric arrangement, with but slight ap- 

 pearance of the septal lines. Possibly, as the outer turns of the 

 spire are not approximated, it may be the young of a larger size. 

 I have designated it " broachensis" to record the existence of 

 Eocene Strata near this town, and not " fifty miles up the Nur- 

 budda" on the north side, as stated (loc. cit.) by mistake. 

 Pieces of yellow argillaceous limestone were brought from 

 Wasna to the late Major Fulljames, containing this fossil, with 

 N. Ramondi," Operculina, and Orbitoides dispansa; and he trans- 

 mitted them to me. These are the specimens to which I have 

 alluded as being so richly infiltrated with red or yellow oxide of 

 iron as to afford an unerring guide to their internal structure 

 respectively.

1. N. biaritzensis, D'Arch. and Haime (p. 13J). — None of this 

 " group " of Nummulites were noticed in my first paper.
