710 Fossil Shells in the Saugor and Nerbudda territories. [Sept. 



4. From Moorkha, east of Mooltaye. 

 5. 5. 5. Three varieties found in the Breccia from Phool Saugor, 

 near Mundla. 



6. The only specimen of the kind from Sussoondra, east 



of Betool. 



7. Shell (imbedded in Breccia of the same kind) from Jaora, 



south of Betool. This and the two next specimens 

 are not reversed, as all the others are. 



8. 8. Two specimens from Phool Saugor, near Mundla, iden- 



tical with No. 7 from Betool district. 



9. 9. Two drawings to shew how curiously one Shell is 



imbedded in the other. These are two very beautiful 



specimens, but the pencil cannot give any idea of the 



crystals at A A which add so much to their appearance. 



1 0. Is delineated to give some notion of the very remarkable 



shape into which the shell has been compressed. 



Many brought in are almost flat, some have an 



indentation exactly corresponding to another Shell, 



but without any appearance of fracture or fissure, 



so that at the time of the convulsion it must have 



been in a plastic state. 



So ends my notes on Fossil Shells, chiefly found in the Saugor and 



Nerbudda territories, for the discovery of which, after my geological 



friend the lime-burner, we are indebted to the zeal and activity of 



Messrs. Fraser, Ousley, and Ommauney. 



The next communication will be on the dispatch of Fossils, that our 

 late travels on the Nerbudda have produced ; and for which you will 

 be indebted to the above gentlemen, aided by their Secretary.

Supplementary Note on Jive additional varieties of Fossil Shells 



found in the Saugor and Nerbudda Territories.* 



A. A drawing of a Shell totally unlike any of the others, and as 



yet only found at one site. Its great difference consists in 



the ribs or furrows so plainly shown in the specimen ; this 



kind was found in March, 1838, on the 1st plateau of the 



* Indeed the whole set, with exception of those from Rae, are so.
