are not good. The portion of the fossil that is figured is entirely 

 septate ; the anterior part of the specimen that formied the base 

 of the body-chamber is not included in the figure, nor does the 

 figure show the shorter intermediate ribs which extend over the 

 outer half of the lateral area of the whorl. 



Blanford (p. 106) regarded this species as a synonym of Oppel's 

 A. Stanleyi,^ a species which he considered to have priority of 

 publication. 



11. Ammonites jubar (R. Strachey MS.), H. F. Blanford. 



(H. F. Blanford, in J. W. Salter & II. F. Blanford: Palsoont. Niti, 1865, p. 82, 

 pi. XX, figs. 2a-e ; pi. xxi, figs. \a-c.) 



The British Museum collection contains three examples of this 

 species, numbered C. 5043, C. 5044, and C. 5030 respectively. 



The specimen numbered C. 5043 is the original of plate xx, 

 figs. 2a, h. The posterior half of the outer whorl, that is, the 

 portion to the right of the break indicated in fig. 2a, is now missing, 

 but the cement still adhering to the fossil indicates its former 

 presence ; it was possibly from the now missing part that the 

 suture-line depicted in fig. 2c was drawn. About one-third of the 

 rest of the outer whorl is septate, whilst the remainder formed part of 

 the body-chamber. As part of the Strachey Collection this specimen 

 was transferred from the Museum of Practical Geology, labelled 

 with one of that Museum's labels " Oolitic : Niti Pass. Ammonites 

 jubar. Coll. by Col. Strachey." 



The example No. C. 5044 is the natural mould, of which a gutta- 

 percha impression (also preserved) is figured in pi. xxi, fig. la. 

 Belonging to the same collection it was also transferred from the 

 same Museum. It is labelled with one of that Museum's labels 

 "Oolitic: NitiPass. Ammonites jubar (Stra.). Coll. by Col. Strachey." 

 To it is fastened a small white label on which is written in ink 

 " Ammonites jubar, R. S. Bndarinathix " ; but the word 'jubar ' has 

 been crossed out in ink. 



The specimen No. 5030 also belonged to the Strachey Collection 

 and was transferred from the Museum of Practical Geology, but 

 the precise locality of the specimen is not recorded. It is the 

 original of plate xxi, fig. 16, and probably also furnished the restored 

 outline given in fig. Ic. 



I have not been able to recognize the oi'iginal of the suture-line 

 which is figured on pi. xx and numbered 2d ; this appears not to 

 be referred to in the text. 



On p. 106 Professor Blanford placed this species as a synonym 

 of Oppel's A. Sahineanus,- a name which he considered to have priority 

 of publication.
