SICILY 207<br />

assemblage of the Cordatum Zone in one of the thin limestones at<br />

Monte Inici:—<br />

CALLOVIAN<br />

Calliphylloceras benacense (Gem.)<br />

Phylloceras spp. indet.<br />

Sowerbyceras tortisulcatum (d'Orb.)<br />

Lytoceras sp. indet.<br />

Lissoceras erato (d'Orb.)<br />

Taramelliceras sp. indet.<br />

Euaspidoceras aff. babeanum (d'Orb.)<br />

Peltoceratoides cf. williamsoni (Phillips)<br />

Perisphinctes cf. bernensis de Loriol<br />

Perisphinctes cf. alligatus (Leckenby)<br />

Perisphinctes (Dichotomosphinctes, etc.) spp. indet.<br />

At Rocca che Parra, Calatafimi, Mr Warman found two separate<br />

Callovian horizons. The upper held Indosphinctes cf. patina (Neumayr:<br />

cf. Corroy, 1932, pi. xii, 3), Hecticoceras cf. metomphalum Bonarelli,<br />

Ptychophylloceras cf. euphyllum (Neumayr) and Holcophylloceras sp.,<br />

an assemblage which may belong to the early Middle Callovian, as does<br />

perhaps a Hecticoceras figured by Floridia (1931, pi. v, 2).<br />

A few feet lower at the same place he obtained the following<br />

assemblage:—<br />

Phylloceras cf. kudernatschi (Hauer)<br />

Calliphylloceras disputabile (Zittel)?<br />

Ptychophylloceras euphyllum (Neumayr)<br />

Lytoceras adeloides (Kudernatsch)<br />

Choffatia subbakeriae (d'Orb.)<br />

Choffatia sp. indet.<br />

Reineckeia rehmanni (Oppel)<br />

Reineckeia (Kellawaysites) paronai Petitclerc<br />

Reineckeia sp. indet.<br />

Bullatimorphites aff. bullatus (d'Orb.)<br />

Macrocephalites aff. macrocephalus Zittel<br />

This is evidently a condensed bed representing the Lower Callovian and<br />

also a basal part of the Anceps Zone. The Bullatimorphites is the form<br />

already figured with Macrocephalites by Floridia (1931, pi. iv, fig. 1)<br />

from Monte Inici. It is very like the typical Bathonian bullatus, but<br />

similar forms range up into the Callovian in France. Several other species<br />

of Bullatimorphites were figured from this condensed assemblage at Rocca<br />

che Parra by Gemmellaro (1872-82, pis. i-v), as well as Macrocephalites,<br />

Paralcidia, Choffatia spp. and Reineckeia segestana Gem. sp. (1868-76,<br />

pi. viii, figs. 1-3).<br />
