174 Dr. L. F. Spatli — Loiver Lias Ammonites from Skye. 



Ax 1. Dykes at M on map, 3 feet above Ax. 

 JEtomoceras scipionianmn (Orbigny). 

 Ax 1'. One foot above Ax, same species. 



Ax. Acuticarinatus bed, with numerous examples of Arnioceras 

 acuticarinatum (Simpson) and allied species, and : — 

 Aijtomoceras cf. resupinatum (SimjDson). 

 „ sp. nov. ? 



,, afi. personatum (Simpson). 



„ scipionianum (Orb.) incl. several var. 



„ sp. nov. ? (a flatter form). 



„ sp. nov. ? (densely costate, thick). 



„ cf. nodulatum, S. Buckman. 



,, scipionianum, var. spinaries (Quenst. non 



Hyatt). 

 Paracoroniceras 1 sp. (like 'brooki' fragment aforementioned). 

 Arnioceras ? cf. anguslicosiatum, Tilmann. 

 Epammonites cf. isis (Reynes). 



,, cf. ])arthenope (Reynes). 



„ ? cf. arnouldi (Dumortier V non VI). 



The last was found in a weathered-out condition, but probably 

 also came from these elevated reefs. The beds Ax are shown in the 

 1 in. geological map (sheet 71) just south of the letter M denoting 

 numerous dolerite and basalt dykes and sills. 



AxO. Ledges 1 foot and 1 ft. 6 in. below Ax : — • 



jEtomoceras scipionianum (Orbigny). 

 Ao. Gryphcea bed I, 4 to 6 feet below the acuticarinatus bed ; 



large impressions of the same Ammonite still occurred. 

 Ao'. Six feet of ledges with Ammonites scarcer, badly preserved, 

 and doubtfully identified as 



Epammonites cf. isis (Reynes). 



„ cf. schloenbachi (Reynes). 



Arnioceras cf. geometricum (Oppel) Schmidt. 

 Ao". Gryphcea bed II, 6 feet below first one, containing one large, 

 crushed fragment of 



Paracoroniceras gmuendense ? (Oppel). 

 A 1. " Coroniceras " bed, 6 feet below last, without recognizable 

 Ammonites in between. 



Paracoroniceras sp. ind.? 



Epammonites s^. 1 {cL paolincB, Reynes, anddeffneri, Oppel). 



Megarietites ^ sp. ind. ? (last not " in place "). 



The Survey recorded Coroniceras lyra from east-north-east of 

 Rudh' Achadh a' Chuirn, and the forms found in A 1 were thought, 

 when first seen, to belong to Hyatt's species-grouj) ; but it is to be 

 noted that similar Epammonites occur in the highest beds.
