ELBURZ MOUNTAINS 37 1<br />

could have come from the Zigzag Zone anywhere in Europe. The list<br />

is as follows:—-<br />

Oppelia (Oxycerites) fallax (Gueranger)<br />

Oppelia (Oxycerites) limosa (Buckman)<br />

Oppelia (Oxycerites) cf. radiatiformis Wetzel<br />

Oppelia (Oxycerites) aff. waterhousei (M. & L.)<br />

Oecotraustes densecostatus Lissajous<br />

Lissoceras inflatum Wetzel<br />

Morphoceras multiforme Arkell<br />

Ebrayiceras pseudoanceps (Ebray)<br />

Ebrayiceras jactatum Buckman<br />

Cadomites deslongchampsi (d'Orb.)<br />

Parkinsonia pachypleura Buckman<br />

Parkinsonia aff. acris Wetzel<br />

Parkinsonia dorni Arkell<br />

Procerites cf. clausiprocerus Buckman<br />

Procerites cf. funatus in Lissajous, 1923, pi. ix, fig. 2<br />

Planisphinctes aff. planilobus Buckman<br />

Planisphinctes cf. acurvatus (Wetzel)<br />

Siemiradzkia berthae (Lissajous)<br />

Siemiradzkia pseudo-rjazanensis (Lissajous)<br />

Siemiradzkia cf. bajociformis Arkell<br />

A few of these forms had already been recorded and figured from 67 miles<br />

east of Teheran, in the valley of the Delitchai, by Erni (1931) and Riviere<br />

(1932, 1934), and in addition Nannolytoceras pygmaeum (d'Orb.).<br />

UPPER BAJOCIAN<br />

According to Erni and Riviere the Bathonian ammonites at their locality<br />

occur in a bed 20-28 m. above the base of the limestones, mixed with the<br />

following forms which are Upper Bajocian: Oppelia cf. subradiata,<br />

Oecotraustes cf. genicularis Waagen, Morphoceras dimorphum (d'Orb.),<br />

and a small Normannites (Riviere, 1934, pi. vi, fig. 8). The bed seems to<br />

be equivalent to beds 3 and 4 (and 5?) in the Julfa gorge (p. 365). There<br />

was one Phylloceratid.<br />

The section according to Erni is as follows:—<br />

4c Thick series of Upper Jurassic limestones with chert, well bedded,<br />

with intercalations of marl. Perisphinctes sp. Seen to 40 m.<br />

\d. Shaly marl, 1 m.<br />

\c. Grey hard limestone with beds of greenish-grey marl; fossils rare:<br />

Perisphinctes and belemnites. c. 25 m.<br />

46. Ammonite bed: grey, well-bedded limestone with intercalations of<br />

marl, rich in fossils. (From this bed come the Upper Bajocian<br />

and Bathonian ammonites.) c. 8 m.<br />

\a. Grey marls with rare beds of limestone, c. 20 m.<br />
