The maximum diameter of the largest and most perfect specimen 

 known (that from Sigutlat Lake), is rather more than four inches and 

 and a-half, and the number of primary ribs on its outer whorl is thirty- 

 two. The septation of the species is still unknown. 



0. Loganianus belongs to the same setion of the genus as the 0. 

 Astierianus (which is the Ammonites Astierianus of d'Orbigny and 

 Pictet), but its volutions are much more loosely involute, and its 

 umbilicus is far more wide and open. The primary ribs of the outer 

 whorl of 0. Loganianus, also trifurcate on the middle of the sides, and 

 not comparatively near the suture, as they do in 0. Astierianus.

North shore of Cumshewa Inlet, two specimens, the largest of 

 which is figured. 



This species is thus described by Mr. Gabb, in the first volume of 

 the Palaeontology of California : "Discoidal ; whorls inreasing rapidly 

 in size, flattened on the sides ; dorsal surface narrow, convex ; ventral, 

 flat or very slightly concave. Transverse diameter less than half 

 the dorso-ventral. Space between contiguous whorls narrow, but 

 well marked. Surface marked by numerous small flexuous ribs, of 

 about equal size, which arise on the ventral margin of the whorls 

 and pass entirely across the back : these ribs are often dichotomous, 

 and occasionally, though rarely, anastomose near the dorsum. In 

 one case remains of a few dorsal spines were observed. These were 

 placed in two rows, one on each side of the back. The ventral surface 

 is finely striate transversely, the striffi arching forwards. Of the 

 septum, I have only been able to see the dorsal and superior lateral 

 lobes, and their corresponding saddles." 



The specimens of A. Eemondi from Cumshewa Inlet appear to differ 

 only from the Californian type of the species in being much larger, 

 and in the circumstance that their ribs are more distant and very 

 rarely dichotomous.
