many nor in Bohemia is there a modern stratigraphic-paleontological work 

 on the Turonian fauna. 



Less still do we know about England, from which Solgar could cite 

 only a very few species as probably of Turonian age. 



From the foregoing we see that the more we advance toward the north, 

 the more the elements belonging to the Mediterranean facies of the Sal- 

 murian diminish. 



India: Certain faunal relations exist between the Salmurian of India 

 and that of the Mediterranean. In India the group of Mammites nodo- 

 soides is represented by two species, Mammites conciliatus Stoliczka and 

 M. crassitesta Stoliczka; the group Pseudaspidoceras by one, Ps. Footea- 

 num Stoliczka. The genus Fagesia is represented by two species, Fagesia 

 superstes Kossmat, and F. Rudra Stoliczka. In the same manner we find 

 Neoptychites represented by two species: Neuptychites Telinga Stoliczka 

 (=cephalotus Courtiller according to Pervinquiere) and N. xetra Stoliczka. 



Japan: In Japan there is probably also Turonian with elements of the 

 Mediterranean facies. Yabe cites the occurrence of beds with Mammites. 

 In these he found a Mammites of the group of M. nodosoides Schlotheim. 1 

 The same author describes a Fagesia Kotoi which occurs either in the same 

 beds or in those with Scaphites, which are a little younger. 



Australia: It seems that in Australia the Turonian has not yet been 

 found; at least the fossils found in the Desert Sandstone, considered by 

 Jack and Etheridge as the representative of the upper Cretaceous, 2 do not 

 allow such a conclusion. 



Brazil: In South America only very few localities have been discov- 

 ered where fossils of the Salmurian have been found. Some species were 

 described from Brazil by White but without any indication of their age. 

 Several authors have already noted that the Salmurian must exist there, 

 but it seems nearly impossible to separate the Salmurian fossils from 

 those of the other Cretaceous horizons. Pervinquiere notes the similarity 

 between Vascoceras Durandi and Ammonites Harttii Hyatt, 3 while Choffat 

 who had before that time called attention to the similarity between that 

 species and his Vascoceras harttiforme Kossmat believes that A. Harttii 

 might be a Fagesia, but the suture published by Hyatt 4 shows that the 

 species belongs to Vascoceras. 



Kossmat has also indicated the similarity between Ammonites pedroanus
