also a cretaceous section, one : of the Het&rophylli five, and all of 

 the cretaceous subdivision of this section ; of the Ligati, a group 

 essentially cretaceous, not less than ten. 



Of Nautilus, a genus having a larger development in the upper, 

 than in the lower beds of the cretaceous, we have three allied to other 

 cretaceous forms ; of Belemnitella, confined to the upper portion of 

 the cretaceous group, one. And other instances might be given. 

 These will however suffice to shew, that a vast addition to the cre- 

 taceous Fauna of India still remains to be worked out. 



I would add that Mr. H. F. Blanford, with others, is at present 

 engaged in making out the relation of these rocks, and I confidently 

 anticipate, that much light will be thrown upon the subject, by the 

 careful examination of the Officers of the Geological Survey in that 

 district.
