104 POMPECKJ. JURASSIC FAUNA OP CAPE FLORA. [NORW. POL. EXP. 



with the originals of Oppel 1 from the Bathonian of Wiirttcmberg, and wilh 

 several specimens of B. Beyrichi Opp. from Gnaszyn, near Czenstochau in Po- 

 land, which are now before me. The state of preservation, however, does not 

 suffice for the identification of the pieces from Cape Flora with B. Beyrichi, 

 nor to class them as decidedly different from that species. 



Among the "Belemnites sp." which Newton (1. c. p. 502) records from 

 "west of Elmwood", "the third form" ("cylindrical, concentrically radiated, and 

 with comparatively acute apex") most probably belongs to our species. 



Most of the pieces of Belemnites sp. (cf. Beyrichi Oppel) were found along 

 with Pseudomonotis Jacksoni, loose, weathered out of the rock, on August 

 2nd, 1896, at a height of about 2333 ft. above sea-level. The species, more- 

 over, lie, together with Pseudomonotis Jacksoni, embedded in gray, finely- 

 grained sandy marl (Aug. 2nd, 1896, 23 33 ft.). Fragments and sections, cor- 

 responding to our species, may also be seen, as also Lingula Beani Phill. and 

 Discina reflexa Sow. sp., in light gray, soft marl occurring together wilh 

 the hard sandy marl NNW. of Elmwood. 



A few loose fragments of Belemnites were also found together with Be- 

 lemnites sp. (of Beyrichi Opp.), showing traces of grooves and somewhat eccen- 

 tric radiation, and perhaps allied to Belemnites canaliculatus Schloth. They 

 are pieces which probably belong to the other fragments noted by Newton 

 (I. c. p. 502), from "west of Elmwood". 



Yet another small fragment is worthy of attention, as being that of a 



Belemnites sp. indet. 2. 

 PL I. fig. 24. 



Found loose; statement of locality, date and height wanting. The piece 

 shows an elliptical section. The dorso-ventral axis is shorter than the width 

 of the rostrum. The beginning of the alveole is somewhat eccentric, near 

 the ventral side (fig. 24c). Any determination of the piece appears to he 

 impossible. 



1 The figure which agrees best wilh Oppel's originals of 7?. Beyrichi is the one which 

 Quenstedt gives in "Jura" of his B. canaliculatus gracilis.
