  the 
  name 
  of 
  A. 
  arcticus 
  may 
  be 
  used 
  ; 
  but 
  it 
  has 
  seemed 
  better 
  for 
  

   the 
  present 
  to 
  include 
  this 
  form 
  in 
  the 
  species 
  A. 
  IsJimce, 
  and 
  call 
  

   it 
  a 
  variety 
  — 
  arcticus. 
  

  

  Among 
  the 
  ammonites 
  collected 
  from 
  this 
  locality 
  there 
  are 
  two 
  

   others 
  which 
  agree 
  with 
  the 
  one 
  described, 
  but 
  are 
  less 
  perfect 
  ; 
  

   besides 
  these 
  are 
  two 
  which, 
  agreeing 
  with 
  the 
  type 
  in 
  all 
  main 
  

   particulars, 
  differ 
  in 
  being 
  more 
  inflated, 
  and 
  one 
  of 
  them 
  has 
  

   coarser 
  ribs 
  (PI. 
  XL, 
  fig. 
  2). 
  Still 
  another 
  specimen, 
  showing 
  all 
  

   the 
  characters 
  of 
  the 
  type, 
  has 
  the 
  outer 
  whorl 
  nearly 
  smooth, 
  

   although 
  it 
  is 
  a 
  rather 
  smaller 
  shell 
  (PI. 
  XL, 
  fig. 
  3). 
  The 
  specimen 
  

   above 
  described 
  (fig. 
  1), 
  however, 
  shows 
  the 
  beginning 
  of 
  this 
  

   smooth 
  outer 
  whorl, 
  but 
  it 
  must 
  have 
  been 
  a 
  considerably 
  larger 
  

   individual. 
  

  

  Belemnites 
  sp. 
  

  

  A 
  number 
  of 
  portions 
  of 
  belemnites 
  were 
  found 
  at 
  this 
  locality, 
  

   but 
  none 
  of 
  them 
  are 
  perfect 
  enough 
  for 
  specific 
  determination. 
  

   Two 
  of 
  these 
  are 
  phragmocones 
  of 
  some 
  large 
  species, 
  contained 
  in 
  

   nodules. 
  Another 
  specimen 
  gives 
  evidence 
  of 
  a 
  long 
  slender 
  form, 
  

   apparently 
  circular 
  in 
  section 
  and 
  concentrically 
  radiated. 
  This 
  

   belemnite 
  is 
  preserved 
  in 
  a 
  block 
  of 
  ironstone, 
  and 
  possibly 
  belongs 
  

   to 
  another 
  bed. 
  

  

  The 
  remainder 
  of 
  the 
  specimens 
  are 
  much 
  decomposed 
  : 
  some 
  of 
  

   them 
  seem 
  to 
  have 
  been 
  compressed 
  laterally 
  and 
  to 
  show 
  a 
  deep 
  

   ventral 
  groove. 
  One 
  specimen 
  is 
  a 
  short 
  form, 
  with 
  the 
  alveolar 
  

   cavity 
  seemingly 
  reaching 
  to 
  near 
  the 
  apex. 
  

  

  Although 
  it 
  is 
  tolerably 
  clear 
  that 
  these 
  Belemnites 
  represent 
  at 
  

   least 
  three 
  species, 
  yet 
  there 
  is 
  no 
  evidence 
  of 
  an 
  excentric 
  form 
  

   which 
  could 
  be 
  referred 
  to 
  B. 
  Panderi. 
  

  

  Phosphatic 
  nodules 
  occur.

  Although 
  it 
  is 
  clear, 
  from 
  their 
  relative 
  height 
  above 
  the 
  sea, 
  that 
  

   these 
  fossils 
  occupy 
  a 
  lower 
  horizon 
  than 
  the 
  bed 
  with 
  A. 
  macro- 
  

   cephalus 
  and 
  A. 
  modiolaris, 
  yet 
  the 
  fossils 
  themselves 
  give 
  no 
  

   evidence 
  that 
  such 
  is 
  the 
  case, 
  and 
  it 
  is 
  quite 
  possible 
  that 
  they 
  may 
  

   belong 
  to 
  the 
  Lower 
  Oxfordian. 
  It 
  seems 
  likely, 
  however, 
  that 
  

   being 
  150, 
  or 
  perhaps 
  250 
  feet, 
  lower 
  in 
  the 
  series 
  of 
  beds, 
  and 
  

   the 
  fossils 
  of 
  a 
  different 
  type, 
  they 
  represent 
  a 
  somewhat 
  lower 
  

   horizon 
  and 
  may 
  perhaps 
  be 
  more 
  nearly 
  of 
  the 
  age 
  of 
  the 
  Corn- 
  

   brash.
