nnfortnnately disturbed, before I bad time to number tbem, by an officious 
collector, in direct contravention of his orders. The others had been washed 
down the slope of the rain gully in which they were exposed, but they all 
doubtless belonged to the same individual. I have had no opportunity of com¬ 
paring them with figures of known Ichtliyoscmrus vertebrre. They are numbered 
047—63. 
The seven shark s teeth (marked 043) belonged, I believe, to the shark that 
yielded the large vei’tebras Nos. 34—40. They were all found quite close together, 
weathered out of one of the large earthy ferruginous concretions, at only a short 
distance from the large reptilian vertebrie. 
A novelty among Utatur fossils is the lelithyodonilite (No. 460). 
Mollusca.— -TIhc chief novelties are several Bhynoholites, or mandibles of 
Nautili, belonging to two if not to more species. Three 
of small size, not well preserved, were obtained from the 
outcrop of the “sponge bed” {Loc. 3). Two others, one large, of rather 
different form (Nos. 24 and 250) were found in the Utatur clays. Two other 
peculiar bodies (0 26 and 27) bearing some resemblance to BliyncJiolites, but both 
apparently somewhat broken, were also found in the Utatur clays. 
Embedded in the clay filling the body-chamber of a nautilus from Utatur is 
Fruit like bod' ^ singular body (No. 23aO), someivhat fruit-like in ap¬ 
pearance, that I was unable to determine. I wish to draw 
special attention to it. 
From the same locality (0) came what appears to be a new Belemnite (028) 
Belomnites shoi't squat form and blunt pointed, quite unlike any 
figured in the Palssontologia Indica. It is much the 
rarest form of all occurring in the Utatur clays. 
The long, thin, sharp pointed Belemnite (No. 31) occure chiefly in the higher 
clay beds. 
Interesting specimens of Belemnites are numbers 67, 68, and 69 from Odium 
(Loc. 21), parts of phragmocones, the latter of very large size. No. 70 shows 
great part of the piro-ostracum. 
Among the Ammonitidee No. 88, from Anapadi (Locy. 15), may be a new 
species, for it does not agree with any of those figured by 
Stoliezka. 
Of the rare form A. Icaliha founded by Stoliezka on a unique specimen from 
the Arrialur beds east of Utakoil, a second example (OK 16) was found by me 
at the same pilace. It is in good preservation. 
Of another rare form, A. xetra, based by Dr. Stoliezka on two specimens from 
Cunum, a third example w'as procured at the same place. It is a young speci¬ 
men and unfortunately much broken (20o 55). 
An apparently new species of Turrilites with very delicate transverse ribbings 
on the whorls was found by me west of Arrialur (Loc, A,
