'676 Mr. H. J. Cai-ter 07i the Fossil Foraiiiinlfera 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. (PL XV. fig. G). — Discoidal, compressed, 

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

 from white irregular puneta 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. 



Lac. 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. hiaritzensis and from all the Striatce figured by 

 D'Archiac and Ilaime. I 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 anr 

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

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

 toidcs dispansa (the stellate variety), Alvcolhia elliptica (small 

 variety, A. meandrina, Operculina, and OrbitoUna, all of which 

 are of diminutive size. 



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



Largest size. — Breadth j^ inch; thickness yV~T2 i'^ch ; 

 number of turns, seven. 



Loc. Valley of Ilodinjo, 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. biaritzensis, both 

 froni the Valley of Ilodinjo ; but whether they were found to- 

 gether or in separate localities I am ignorant. 



IIeticulat/E (D'Arch. & Ilaime). 



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

 This, by the aid of MM. d'Archiac and Ilaime's work, I am 

 now able to identify with A^. sublceviqata, D'Archiac and Ilaime 

 (p. 106). 



Largest size. — Breadth /^ inch (20 milhm.); thickness 

 flinch. 



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

 Muscat, in Arabia (Capt. Newbold). 



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 Ilaime's classification, it ought to
