Extract

There has recently been presented1 to the British Museum collection an Ammonite from the Gault of Folkestone that seems to be worthy of a short note. It is represented in the accompanying figures. At first sight it appears to be a new species. The shell is nearly complete and exceedingly well preserved; there has evidently been another half whorl to the specimen (see Fig. a), but this, which apparently constituted the body-chamber, has been broken away, leaving at the anterior end of the specimen the surface of the last septum.
