about 42 mm. (0*50) and tlie height of the outer whorl about 

 25 mm. (0*30), whereas these proportions in an example 

 of Fontannes's species of 81 mm. in diameter are given as 

 0*45 and 0'31 respectively.

The crushed remains of an example of about 100 mm. in 

 diameter, exhibiting only a portion of the outer whorl, the 

 inner whorls being obscured by matrix, seems to agree very 

 well with Dacque's figure * of a specimen, from rocks of 

 Kimeridgian age in Somaliland, that he compares with 

 Choffat's species from Portugal f. Siemiradzki J records the 

 species also from Poland. 



It bears also considerable resemblance to de Loriol's figure § 

 of Perisphinctes poJygyratus (Reinecke) from the zone of 

 Oppelia tenuilohata of Oberbuchsitten (Soleure).
