the lower beds of the Xeocoraian, and that it was, at the time he 
wrote (1840), very abundant in the quarries in the neighbourhood 
of Vendeuvre (Aube). He records it also from Switzerland and the 
Crimea, and remarks that wherever it is found it is obtained from 
the Lower Keocomian beds. 
There is a large cast in the Collection (Xo. C. 3168), measuring 
1 foot 2 inches in its greatest diameter, and about 8 inches in 
width. It is from the Lower Greensand of Maidstone, and it ])re- 
sents so many characters in common with the present species that 
one is strongly inclined to assign it thereto. The septa are some- 
what distant from each other, being about 2 inches apart on the 
sides of the shell ; the sutures are slightly flexuous upon the sides 
and also upon the periphery. Xo trace of the test is preserved, the 
surface of the cast being much broken up. The very broad and 
robust form of the shell and its general appearance seem to justify 
its association w ith Xautilus pseudotle( fans, and the horizon wiience 
it was obtained strengthens this view' of its affinities. 
The few examples attributed to this species in the British Museum 
are, with the above exception, very much crushed, but their cha- 
racters, so far as they can be made out, and the horizon from wdiich 
the specimens were derived (Lower Greensand), warrant the con- 
clusion I have come to. and in which Mr. G. C. Crick supports me, 
that they belong to d'Orbigny’s species.
