NO. 2.] FACIES, FAUNISTIC CHARACTERS ETC. 137 



In the fauna, which Lundgreen 1 described from Cape Stewart in East 

 Greenland, there are possibly species of older zones, besides those of the 

 Callovian. No affinity to our Bajocian, however, is discernible. The TAngula 

 sp. described by Lundgreen is certainly not Lingula Beani Phill., and Lund- 

 green's Avicula Miinsteri is different from our Pseudomonotis Jacksoni. 



While the fauna of the Bajocian of Cape Flora is without analogy in 

 the arctic regions, it shows, on the other hand, distinct affinities to the Cen- 

 tral European Jura. Lingula Beani Phill. and Discina reflexa Sow. sp. 

 are Central European species. Belemnites sp. (cf. Beyrichi Opp.) also has 

 its nearest known kin in the Central European Jura: Belemnites Wurttem- 

 bergicus Opp. (fusiformis Quenst.) in Wiirttemberg and Franconia; Belem- 

 nites Beyrichi Opp. in the same places, and also in the Silesian and Polish 

 Jura, and in that of Balin near Cracow. It would, however, be precipitate 

 to draw from these facts the conclusion that at Cape Flora the Bajocian is 

 formed of a totally Central European fauna. In order to pronounce any 

 definitive judgment in this respect, we must first become acquainted with the 

 numerous Lamellibranchs which in addition to Pseudomonotis Jacksoni occur 

 in the Bajocian of Cape Flora, but whose remains have as yet been quite 

 indeterminable. For this purpose, we must in general have a more com- 

 prehensive idea of the entire fauna of the Bajocian of Cape Flora. Yet we 

 must maintain that the indication towards Central European fauna, given by 

 Lingula Beani, Discina reflexa and the hastate Belemnites is very impor- 

 tant from a pateo-geographical point of view. 



We are able to judge with more certainty as to the fauna of the Callo- 

 vian of Cape Flora, than as to that of the Bajocian. 



The fossils of the Callovian naturally suggest comparison first with those 

 of the Russian Jura. The occurrence of the Ammonite genera Macroce- 

 phalites, Cadoceras and Quenstedtoceras, which are among the most typical 

 of the Russian Callovian, indicate faunistic analogies between the Callovian of 

 Cape Flora, and that of Russia.
