G. C. Crick — 8trachey^s Cephalopoda from Himalaya. 63 



1 have not been able to trace. The example of A. Wallichii can 

 be easily recognized as the figured specimen ; and, although some of 

 the mati'ix has been removed from the examples of A. Nepaulensis 

 and A. tenuistriata since Gray's figures were drawn, there is 

 abundant evidence as to the identity also of these specimens. 



I have already shown elsewhere that Blanford refigured Gray's 

 types oi A. Wallichii and A. tenuisiriata (in part) in pi. xv, figs, la-c, 

 and pi. XV, figs. 26, c, respectively. I also considered Gray's type 

 of A. Nepaulensis (fig. 1) to have been refigured by Blanford in 

 pi. xiv, figs, la, b, but quite recently I have seen the original of 

 Blanford's figure in the Museum of the Geological Society of London 

 (R. 10,116).^ Professor Blake thought it possible that this was 

 Gray's figured specimen, but such is not the case. The Geological 

 Society's collection also contains the original of Professor Blanford's 

 pi. X, fig. 7 (Belemnites sulcattis). 



In the following notes the species are arranged in the order in 

 which they were described in the " Palseontology of Niti," pp. 74-88. 



1. Belemnites sulcatus, J. S. Miller. 



{H. F. Blanford, in J. W. Salter & H. F. Blanford : Palfeont. Niti, 1865, p. 76, 



pi. X, figs. 1-8.) 



Of the eight figured specimens seven are now in the National 

 collection. These are the originals of figs. 1-6 [Nos. C 2566 - 

 C. 2571] 2 and of fig. 8 [No. C. 2572]. They are accompanied by 

 a Jermyn Street Museum label bearing the inscription " Oolitic : 

 Niti Pass. Belemnites sulcatus. Stra. Him. PI. 10. Pres. by 

 Col. Strachey." The original of fig. 6 [No. C. 2571] is marked 

 in ink " L " with a cross ; the specimen represented in fig. 3 

 [No. C. 2568] is numbered in ink " 1015 " ^ ; the original of fig. 5 

 [No. C. 2570] is numbered " 1691 " in a similar manner, and each 

 of the originals of fig. 1 [No. C. 2566], fig. 2 [No. C 2567], and 

 fig. 4 [No. C. 2569] is similarly numbered " 1692." The original 

 of fig. 8 [No. C. 2572] is numbered in ink "1720"; it has been 

 broken across and shows a subcentral siph uncle ; it does not exhibit 

 any depression near the margin such as is indicated in the figure. 

 It seems, therefore, to be referable to the genus Orthoceras, and is 

 most probably of Triassic age. This age of the specimen is supported 

 by its lithological character, which agrees with that of the example 

 of Orthoceras pulchellum — a Triassic species — represented in pi. viii, 

 fig. 106. 



The specimen depicted in fig. 7 is now in the Museum of the 

 Geological Society of London* (R. 10,252).

•^ From a comparison with the Silurian Cephalopoda in the Strachey Collection it 

 is quite evident that these numbers refer to Colonel Sti'achey's Catalogue of Locahties 

 referred to by Salter on p. 4 at the end of his description of Asaphus emodi.

 Figured Specimens in the Geological Society of Loudon," 1902, p. 55.
