22. Piece of Coral ? 



23. Has passed into Limestone. 



24. Cavity formed in a conglomerate by a Teredo : but the fish 

 itself, which is petrified, resembles a cork-screw ; they are of 

 various sizes, all larger at one end than the other. 



I have many other shells difficult to sketch, and two species of 

 Cidaris 



I should be glad to have correct drawings presented to the Society, 

 as the distance is so great, that the probability is my collection may 

 never reach India, or even the eyes of a connoisseur. Each shell hav- 

 ing fragments of the rock adhering, will also enable me to classify their 

 geology whenever I may meet an experienced individual. 



It may be well to state, that I met with no shells in any of the 

 mountain formations between Cabool and Syghan, where fragments are 

 first observable in a yellow sandstone. 



The level of Bajgah above the sea is about equal to that of Cabool.
