DESCRIPTIONS OF TWO NEW SPECIES OF AMMONITES 
_ FROM THE CRETACEOUS ROCKS OF THE QUEEN 
CHARLOTTE IsLANDS.* 
By J. F. WHITHAVEs. 
Through the courtesy ot Dr. C. F. Newcombe, of Victoria, 
Y.1., and by kind permission of the council and members 
of the Natural History Society of British Columbia, the 
whole of their collection of the fossils of the Cretaceous 
rocks of that province has recently been sent to the writer 
for examination and study. Among these fossils there are 
two small Ammonites which appear to be undescribed, both 
of which are labelled as having been collected at Skidegate 
Inlet, Q. C. I., and presented to the society by Mr. James 
Deans. Both are clearly referable to the family of Stephano- 
ceratide of Neumayr, as amended or re-defined by Zittel. 
One is an imperfect specimen of a small species of Olcoste- 
phanus, nearly related to O. Jeannotti (the Ammonites Jean- 
uotti ot dOrbigny ') of the Neocomian of France and Switz- 
erland. The other is a more perfect but apparently not 
quite full-grown specimen of a species of Hoplites, of the 
type of H. sinuosus (the Ammonites sinuosus of d’Orbigny *)
