A portion of the outer shell is preserved at c. and im-

 off, are visible at d. (Original.) 



Plate 39. V. I. p. 348. Note. 



This Plate presents a longitudinal view of the same 

 fossil, of which a side view is given in the last figure. 

 The same transverse plates, that approximate so closely 

 beneath the sides of the shell, where it is flat and feeble, 

 (PI. 38.) are distant from each other along the dorsal por- 

 tion, which from its convex form is strong. 



The Siphuncle is preserved in its proper dorsal place 

 at d. 



The elevations and depressions of the transverse plate 

 in front of this figure exemplify the theory of Von Buch, 

 respecting the use of the Lobes and Saddles formed by the 

 undulations of its outer margin. See V. I. p. 353, and 

 Note. (Original.)

 tion lime-stone in the Isle of Man. 



The Lobes are simple, and without foliations ; 

 their form resembles that of the slipper-shaped lobe 

 of the Nautilus Ziczac, and Nautilus Sypho. See 

 PL 43. 



The lobes D. L. 1. V. are pointed inwards, and 

 the intermediate Saddles S. d. S. L. S. V. are 

 rounded outwards ; according to the type of Ammo- 

 nites. (Original.)
