the shales exposed here are maestrichtien in age. Fossils from 
the maestrichtien beds of Baluchistan have been described by 
Dr. Noetling,! and we are indebted to Prof. Vredenburg for a 
paper dealing with the zonal distribution of the upper cretace- 
ous fossils of this area.” The Presidency College collection 
includes Trochosmilia sp., Pachydiseus sp. (an immature 
specimen), Heteroceras polyplocum, Roem., and Baculites 
binodosus, Noetl. It may be mentioned here that two species 
of Pachydiscus and Heteroceras polyplocum have been recorded 
from the upper cretaceous rocks by Prof. Vredenburg in his 
work above alluded to. 
The specimen of T'rochosmilia has been found to be speci- 
fically different from the only species of the genus described 
from the upper cretaceous beds by Dr. Noetling.’ The height 
of the corallum is 60 mm., the large diameter of the calyx is 
47 mm., and the small diameter is 32 mm. The corallum seems
