c On the other hand, the other fossils in this collection do not offer 

 any especial analogy to Yorkshire types; some are of Oxfordian 

 shapes, and of the Belemnite in particular, it is unknown in York- 

 shire, but a good deal like some found in the South of England, as 

 to form, not, I think, as to conservation, &c. 



c Among the fossils we note as of Liassic age, Ammonites communis. 



i Ammonites Bifrons (Walcottii) : such occur at Whitby. The 

 variety of A. communis called crassus, is found both at Whitby, and 

 in this series, from the Himalaya ! 



1 Pachyodon Listeri in plenty. It is not quite like ordinary English 

 specimens. 



c Small Spirt/era of the Liassic type, such as occurs in South of 

 England, not in Yorkshire. 



1 With this Spirifera in plenty, occurs : — 



' Bhynchonella of the types concinna and ohsoleta. 



In separate masses, 



c Avicula like Braamburiensis. 



6 Astarte. 



c Trigonia of a type near middle and top of Bath Oolite series, not 

 quite like any English form, and separate. 



c Belemnites of the group B. Sulcatus, Miller, probably of Oxford 

 clay. 



i Paloeozoic Fossils also occur, including 



1 Producta antiquata. 



1 Spirifer 1. 



: Attenuata 



1 Strophomena.

" It would appear from this note, that Professor Phillips entertains 

 some doubt on the genuineness of the Oxford fossils, but as he omits 

 to give the date, which is especially required to settle the question, 

 I am still uncertain whether any record of it exists. Dr. Oldham has, 

 however, given us to understand, that he possesses such evidence of 

 the dates both of the receipt of the Society's and of the Oxford collec-
