AEGOCERAS VALDANI. 357 



whorls are not so high, the ribs are narrower, sharper, and more bent, and the intercostal 

 valleys are nmch wider and more concave, the siphonal area is likewise mnch changed 

 by the presence of a central carina which passes longitudinally between the ribs and con- 

 nects them with each other. The inner whorls are absent ; this body-chamber forms a 

 striking contrast to the figure given in PI. LTI, figs. 1 and 2; the small specimens figured 

 in both plates very much resemble each other in the thickness and romidness of the 

 whorls and the sharpness of the ribs as shown in the mould. 



Locality and Straligrapldcal Position. — Professor Blake says that this Ammonite 

 comes from a different horizon to that in which Aeg. Jamesoni lies, and assigns the base 

 of the zone of Amaltheus oxi/notus in Robin Hood's Bay as its true geological position. It 

 was likewise from the same locality and horizon that the Rev. J. E. Cross obtained the 

 large specimens he has so kindly communicated for this work.
