  bifurcating, 
  run 
  over 
  the 
  back 
  without 
  any 
  forward 
  flexure 
  ; 
  they 
  

   agree 
  with 
  British 
  and 
  Continental 
  examples 
  of 
  this 
  species, 
  and 
  

   attention 
  may 
  be 
  especially 
  directed 
  to 
  Prof. 
  Nikitin's 
  1 
  figures 
  of 
  

   specimens 
  from 
  Kellaways 
  beds 
  near 
  Elatma, 
  in 
  Central 
  Russia. 
  

  

  Another 
  specimen 
  found 
  upon 
  the 
  talus-heap, 
  which 
  includes 
  

   about 
  half 
  the 
  shell, 
  has 
  rather 
  more 
  rounded 
  whorls 
  ; 
  but, 
  as 
  it 
  

   resembles 
  some 
  of 
  the 
  inflated 
  forms 
  which 
  have 
  been 
  referred 
  to 
  

  

  A. 
  macrocephalus, 
  it 
  is 
  provisionally 
  allowed 
  to 
  remain 
  here

  Fragments 
  of 
  several 
  belemnites 
  have 
  been 
  collected 
  at 
  No. 
  3 
  

   locality, 
  but 
  only 
  a 
  few 
  of 
  them 
  can 
  be 
  determined 
  with 
  any 
  cer- 
  

   tainty 
  ; 
  on 
  comparing 
  them, 
  however, 
  with 
  better 
  fragments 
  from 
  

   the 
  talus, 
  there 
  is 
  no 
  doubt 
  as 
  to 
  their 
  being 
  the 
  same 
  species. 
  

   These 
  belemnites 
  belong 
  to 
  the 
  group 
  in 
  which 
  the 
  radiation, 
  seen 
  

   on 
  the 
  cross-section 
  of 
  the 
  guard, 
  is 
  excentric, 
  as 
  in 
  the 
  well-known 
  

  

  B. 
  lateralis. 
  In 
  the 
  specimen 
  now 
  under 
  consideration 
  the 
  guard 
  

   is 
  not 
  flattened 
  dorso-ventrally, 
  as 
  in 
  the 
  last-named 
  species, 
  but 
  to 
  

   a 
  slight 
  extent 
  laterally, 
  and 
  there 
  is 
  a 
  distinct 
  though 
  not 
  very 
  deep 
  

   ventral 
  groove 
  near 
  the 
  apex, 
  and 
  extending 
  a 
  short 
  distance 
  along 
  the 
  

   guard. 
  The 
  most 
  perfect 
  specimen 
  (PI. 
  XXXIX, 
  fig. 
  11) 
  was 
  found 
  

   on 
  the 
  talus 
  at 
  the 
  western 
  end 
  of 
  Cape 
  Flora 
  : 
  it 
  is 
  only 
  about 
  

   2 
  inches 
  long, 
  and 
  shows 
  nothing 
  of 
  the 
  alveolar 
  cavity. 
  Other 
  

   examples 
  retaining 
  this 
  cavity 
  show 
  that 
  it 
  is 
  excentric 
  (fig. 
  12). 
  

  

  A 
  comparison 
  of 
  these 
  belemnites 
  with 
  a 
  series 
  from 
  Russia, 
  in 
  

   the 
  possession 
  of 
  Mr. 
  Lamplugh 
  and 
  named 
  by 
  Prof. 
  Alexis 
  Pavlow, 
  

   left 
  no 
  doubt 
  as 
  to 
  their 
  agreement 
  with 
  examples 
  of 
  B. 
  Panderi, 
  a 
  

   species 
  which 
  has 
  been 
  recorded 
  from 
  the 
  Middle 
  Kellaways 
  and 
  

   passes 
  upward 
  to 
  the 
  Kimeridge 
  Clay.

  PECTEN 
  cf. 
  DEMTSSUS. 
  

  

  The 
  mould 
  of 
  a 
  small 
  Pecten 
  evidently 
  indicates 
  a 
  shell 
  closely 
  

   allied 
  to, 
  if 
  not 
  identical 
  with, 
  the 
  common 
  Oolitic 
  Pecten 
  demissus, 
  

   which 
  is 
  one 
  of 
  the 
  species 
  recognized 
  in 
  the 
  Upper 
  Jurassic 
  rocks 
  

   of 
  Spitsbergen. 
  

  

  Gorgonia 
  (?). 
  (PI. 
  XXXIX, 
  fig. 
  15.) 
  

  

  On 
  one 
  of 
  the 
  ironstone-blocks 
  is 
  to 
  be 
  seen 
  a 
  long 
  cylindrical 
  

   body, 
  about 
  1 
  mm. 
  in 
  diameter 
  and 
  70 
  mm. 
  long, 
  the 
  nature 
  of 
  

   which 
  is 
  by 
  no 
  means 
  clear. 
  Only 
  part 
  of 
  this 
  now 
  remains, 
  and 
  

   it 
  seems 
  to 
  be 
  entirely 
  replaced 
  by 
  iron 
  pyrites. 
  Externally 
  it 
  is 
  

   almost 
  smooth, 
  with 
  a 
  few 
  transverse, 
  very 
  fine 
  lines. 
  This 
  fossil 
  

   calls 
  to 
  mind 
  the 
  rod 
  of 
  the 
  living 
  Pennatula 
  and 
  that 
  of 
  the 
  

   Graphularia 
  from 
  the 
  London 
  Clay 
  ; 
  but 
  it 
  is 
  not 
  now 
  a 
  continuous 
  

   rod 
  : 
  there 
  are 
  regular 
  intervals 
  here 
  and 
  there, 
  reminding 
  one 
  of 
  

   the 
  interrupted 
  condition 
  of 
  the 
  stem 
  in 
  the 
  genus 
  Isis 
  and
