A 2. Cardinia beds, several feet. The strata become brown and 

 sandy, less metamorphosed, and continue in flat ledges to 

 another dyke. The Ammonites of the Cardinia beds, namely, 

 Arnioceras cf. geometricum (0]5pel), 

 ,, cf. ceratitoides (Qiienstedt), 



are poorly preserved. 

 A 2'. Just beyond the dyke 

 Paracoroniceras sp.? 

 was found, then the lowest beds are exposed. These are 

 apparently above the Cardinia beds on the other side of the 

 dyke, and it is thus probable that the dyke intruded along a 

 fault plane. On the island of Pabay (Pabba), the Liassic 

 succession of which the writer studied and hopes to describe 

 shortly, faulted dykes are also apparently numerous. In an 

 ascending sequence, fairly high beds follow again soon. 

 A 3. Bed full of Arnioceras, namely : — ■ 



Arnioceras afi. falcaries (Quenstedt). 

 ,, cf. sjjirale, Fucini. 



,, cf. repens, Fucini. 



,, cf. kridioides, Fucini non Hyatt ? 



,, n]). nov. aff. acuticarinatwn (Simpson). 



,, s]). (af?. ? A. buckiandi, Reynes xxi/4, non Sow.). 



A 3'. Six feet above A 3 the acuticarinatus bed first seen at Ax 

 was again recognized, containing also : — 

 jEtomoceras scipionianum (Orbigny). 

 ,, cf. personation (Simpson). 



A 4. Near the high point on the shore, north of the letter n in 

 Ardnish on the 1 in. maj), a dyke again interrupts the 

 succession, but beyond, i.e. to the north-east, apparently 

 similar beds occur, containing : — 

 Nautilus striatus (Sowerby), 

 ^tomoceras scipionianum (Orbigny), 

 ,, spp. ind., 



in addition to Arnioceras, like those of the acuticarinatus 

 beds and impressions of large examples probably of yEtomoceras 

 2 feet and more in diameter. 

 A 5. A Grjjphcea bed follows, jierhaps 8-10 feet below horizon 



A 4, and a second one : — 

 A 5', probably about the same distance below A 5, succeeds the 

 first, whereas 5 feet lower still, or perhaps some 20-25 feet 

 below A 4, at 

 A 6, Epamnionites cf. latisulcatus (Quenstedt) Schmidt 



was found, closely similar to the example from south-west of 

 the point R. This probably is the same horizon as at A 1, 

 about 20 feet below the acuticarinatus- scipionianus bed, i.e. 

 the horizon of the so-called " Coroniceras bed ". Judging 

 by the presence of large Ammonites of the gmuendense zone 

 (group of Paracoroniceras crossi, Wright sp.), it seems probable
