MISCELLANEOUS NOTES. 419 



visible from siphon' to umbilical edge ; but I cannot say from which bed it 

 came. So with some others. Katrol beds have produced three specimens 

 of what looks like Fhylloceras meditcrrancum, of which Waagen says: — '• In 

 Europe this species has a very large vertical distribution and ranges from 

 the Bathonian to the uppermost Jurassic group : not so in Kachh, where it 

 seems to be limited to upper Callovian beds" (Athleta). My specimens from 

 Katrol beds (Kimeridge) agree very closely with Dr. Waagen's description 

 except that the second lateral lobe is almost as long as the first : and in the 

 one specimen which is almost {ad hoc) complete there are 6 furrows to the 

 half whorl. 



The hills at the east end of the Ellipse — inside the nullah bend — are of the 

 Sub-Anceps or "Vanguard " type, hard crimson brown rock in great sheets. 

 At one place they hold a swarm of small white Trigoniae : in other slabs 

 some big Ammonites like Paramorphus or Conxjener can be found : they 

 seem like some of the numerous plate-shaped fossils of Belt 6 (Sub-Anceps) 

 of Keera, but the 1st lateral lobe prevents their being Paramorphus, nor do 

 they quite agree with Congener. 



The hills at the west end also curve (or nose) round in the same way, 

 but are more difficult to trace, nullahs having broken through westwards 

 and left much debris. At this end, a high p)oint on the south side shows 

 a protruding ridge of rock, which can be traced for some distance W., 

 gradually sinking. This belt is of D. O., and the rocks capping it are of 

 the Katrol beds, of the black-grey quartz-speckled variety. The slope 

 below the D. 0. is of Anceps with many Terebratula biplicata ? a few Aneeps 

 fragments, Rhynconellae and other Molluscs common to Anceps beds. 



The north side of the Ellipse varies. For some distance at each end 

 (E. and W.) we have the outer rocks all dipping very steeply N. Towards 

 the west, the relics of this wall are seen in four great humps, at the top 

 of which Katrol beds, with fragments of Per. torquatus, lie ; a bit lower 

 on their inner face (S), the D. O. belt crops out ; and below it the crimson 

 and white Anceps beds. On the similar hills at the east end (N. side) 

 the Katrol, D. O. and Anceps beds have been worn down almost to the 

 level of the Bhuj plain, the high upstanding hill being of Vanguard or 

 Sub-Anceps type. 



But for about a mile in the middle, we find that the outermost rocks 

 (N.) are dipping S., leaving a scarp exposed to the north. This seems to 

 be due to a secondary anticline, pushed up by the mass of hills behind 

 and faulted, or more probably sea worn, for by following out the top of 

 this ridge eastwards, a complete anticline, running parallel with the main 

 anticline, is observed. A. N. and S. section of the east and west ends, 

 and of the middle appear thus : —
