876 Mr. H. J. Carter on the Fossil Foraminifcra of Scinde. 



I have described and named it after that town, rather than from 

 anything striking or interesting in the fossil itself. 



N. kelatensis, n. sp. (PI. XV. fig. 6). — Discoidal, compressed, 

 wavy; septal lines on the surface thin and approximated, gyrating 

 from white irregular puncta in the centre to the circumference. 

 Internally, spire remarkably regular, turns numerous; chambers 

 slightly reflected, bearing the same relative proportions through- 

 out the disk ; septa straight, or nearly so, slightly reflected ex- 

 ternally. 



Largest size. — Breadth ~ inch ; thickness —■ inch ; number 

 of turns in the spire, eleven. 



Loc. Valley of Kelat (Dr. Cook). 



Obs. — The number of septal lines on the surface, the number 

 of chambers internally, the regularity of the spire and its num- 

 ber of turns, but especially the straightness of the septa, separate 

 this from N. biaritzensis and from all the Striatic figured by 

 D'Archiac and Haime. 1 have called it "kelatensis" from its 

 being known to me from no other locality. The last turns of the 

 spire being the broadest in the largest specimen I possess, I am 

 led to suppose that it probably attains a larger size. It comes 

 from a deposit of many kinds of small Foraminifcra, viz. Orbi- 

 ioides dispansa (the stellate variety), Alveolina clliptica (small 

 variety, A. meandrina, Opcrcidina , and Orbitolina, all of which 

 are of diminutive size. 



N. irregularis, Desh. (D'Archiac and Haime, p. 138). 



Largest size. — Breadth ~ inch; thickness t V~tI mcn > 

 number of turns, seven. 



Loc. Valley of ltodinjo, which joins the Valley of Kelat 

 (Dr. Cook). 



Obs. — The only specimens which I possess of this Nummulite 

 were sent to me by Dr. Cook with some of N. biai-itzcnsis, both 

 from the Valley of llodinjo ; but whether they were found to- 

 gether or in separate localities I am ignorant. 



Heticulatje (D'Arch. & Haime). 



" Nummularia acuta (?), Sow." (Ann. Nat. Hist. I. c. p. 171). — 

 This, by the aid of MM. d'Archiac and Haime's work, 1 am 

 now able to identify with N. sublcevigaia, D'Archiac and Haime 

 (p. 106). 



Largest size. — Breadth y^ inch (20 millim.) ; thickness 

 y^ inch. 



Loc. Kurrachec (Dr. Cook). Scinde (Capt. Partridge). 

 Muscat, in Arabia (Capt. Ncwbold). 



Obs.— The reticulated structure of this Nummulite, into which 

 the septal lines pass, begins close to the margin; and hence, 

 according to D'Archiac and Haime's classification, it ought to
