  This 
  conclusion

  stated 
  to 
  be 
  more 
  especially 
  borne 
  

   out 
  by 
  the 
  Cephalopoda 
  and 
  Lamellibranchiata.

  The 
  Shells 
  obtained 
  by 
  Captain 
  Godwin- 
  Austen 
  from 
  Kuardo 
  very 
  

   much 
  resemble 
  those 
  collected 
  by 
  Dr. 
  Thomson 
  at 
  Iskardo, 
  Thibet, 
  

   and 
  reported 
  upon 
  in 
  the 
  Proc. 
  Zool. 
  Soc, 
  July 
  8, 
  1858. 
  

  

  They 
  are 
  all 
  apparently 
  from 
  the 
  same 
  fine 
  grey 
  marl, 
  except 
  one 
  

   box 
  containing 
  Helix 
  hispida, 
  &c, 
  in 
  buff-coloured 
  marl. 
  

  

  I 
  have 
  recognized 
  the 
  following 
  species 
  : 
  — 
  

  

  1 
  . 
  Helix 
  hispida. 
  

  

  2.

  the 
  Cetacean 
  Eossils

  Ctjvier, 
  with 
  a 
  

   Notice 
  of 
  a 
  New 
  Species 
  (Belemnoziphius 
  compressus) 
  from 
  the 
  

   Bed 
  Crag.

  H. 
  Huxley,

   of

  History 
  in

  Royal 
  School

  In 
  that 
  section 
  of 
  the 
  ( 
  Recherches 
  sur 
  les 
  Ossemens 
  Eossiles 
  ' 
  which 
  

   is 
  devoted 
  to 
  <c 
  The 
  Fossil 
  Remains 
  of 
  Narwhals 
  and 
  of 
  Cetaceans 
  

   allied 
  to 
  the 
  Hyperoodons 
  and 
  Cachalots," 
  Cuvier 
  established 
  a 
  new 
  

   genus, 
  Ziphius, 
  consisting 
  of 
  three 
  species, 
  Z. 
  cavirostris, 
  Z. 
  plani- 
  

   rostris, 
  and 
  Z. 
  longirostris. 
  

  

  The 
  materials 
  upon 
  which 
  these 
  species 
  were 
  founded 
  consisted 
  

   exclusively 
  of 
  more 
  or 
  less 
  complete 
  portions 
  of 
  crania, 
  without 
  

   lower 
  jaws, 
  the 
  most 
  perfect 
  being 
  that 
  to 
  which 
  the 
  trivial 
  name 
  

   of 
  cavirostris 
  is 
  applied. 
  Of 
  this 
  Cuvier 
  says 
  : 
  — 
  

  

  " 
  This 
  skull 
  obviously 
  has 
  close 
  relations 
  with 
  the 
  Cachalot, 
  and 
  

   still 
  closer 
  with 
  the 
  By 
  per 
  •obdon. 
  It 
  differs 
  from 
  the 
  latter 
  only 
  by 
  

   the 
  maxillaries 
  not 
  being 
  produced 
  into 
  actual 
  lamellae 
  at 
  the 
  sides 
  

   of 
  the 
  snout, 
  and 
  in 
  the 
  circumstance 
  that 
  the 
  sort 
  of 
  wall 
  behind 
  

   the 
  nostrils 
  not 
  merely 
  ascends 
  vertically, 
  but 
  bends 
  over 
  to 
  form 
  a 
  

   half-dome 
  above 
  those 
  cavities." 
  

  

  This 
  cranium 
  was 
  found 
  by 
  a 
  peasant 
  on 
  the 
  shore 
  near 
  the 
  village
