10 BLANFORD : GEOLOGY OF WESTERN SIND. 



Rupert Jones to be a form of Nummulites spira. They are, however, a very 

 marked and peculiar variety, and may perhaps retain the name tattaensis. 

 They have only been found in lower eocene (Ranikot) beds. 



2. Assilina irregularis, Carter. This is, according to D'Archiac and Haime, Num- 



mulites spira, a view accepted by Dr. Carter. 



3. A. sp. This is Nummulites exponens, according to D'Archiac and Haime, a view 



accepted by Dr. Carter. 



4. A. obesa, sp. nov., described in the second paper. This is very near Nummulites 



granulosa. 



5. Nummulina sp. Nummulites carteri, D'Archiac and Haime. 



6. N. obtusa, Sow. 



7 . N. perforata, D'Orb. Dr. Carter, in his second paper, records his belief that N, 



obtusa is not distinguishable, a view which is probably correct. 1 



8. N. biaritzensis, D'Archiac and Haime. 



9. N. sublcevigata, D'Archiac and Haime ; doubtfully identified in Dr. Carter's earlier 



paper with Nummularia acuta, Sow, (N. scabra). In some remarks on the 

 localities and geological position of this species, Dr. Carter notes that it is 

 found in yellow limestone in Sind, and at Muscat and Masira in Arabia, and 

 he suggests rightly that this yellow limestone (Nari) is newer than the great 

 white limestone (Khirthar). It is curious that Dr. Carter appears not to 

 have met with N. garansensis, the constant associate of N. sublcevigata. 



10. Fasciolites elliptica, Farkinson,= Alveolina elliptica=Alveolina ovoidea, D'Orb. 



11. Alveolina melo. 



12. A. (Melonites) spheroidea. Dr. Carter, in his second paper, considers both these 



last species as varieties of A. elliptica. Messrs. D'Archiac and Haime appear 

 to doubt the occurrence of the first. Two forms of Alveolina are found in Sind, 

 one much more common than the other. 



13. Orbitoides dispansa (Lycophris dispansus, Sow,). 



14. O. (Lycophris) epliippium, identical with the last. 



15. 0. pratti. This is also identified with O. dispansa ; hut if this is correct, the 



species is probably not the true Orbitolites pratti of Michelin. 



16. Orbitolites mantelli, H. J. C. The species thus identified is Orbitoides papyracea, 



(O.fortisi). This might be gathered from the description, but it is conclusively 

 proved by the circumstance that the species is said to be found in yellow lime- 

 stone with Nummulites sublcevigata. 



17. O. sp. Subsequently considered a variety of the last. It is the large form of 



O. papyracea, so common in the Nari beds. 



18. Conulites cooki, gen. et sp. nov. Patellina cooki, — see Carpenter's Introduction 



Foram., Eoyal Society, 1862, p. 229. 



19. Orbitolina sp. From Buran (? Baran) river. 



1 Prof. Bupert Jones, to whom I sent specimens of N. obtusa, marked them N. 

 perforata, var. obtusa.
