attributions for Boehm's Taliabu Macrocephalitids (Boehm, 1912, plates<br />

xxxv-xliv) are scattered through nearly 100 pages of specific descriptions<br />

and lengthy discussions of Indian ammonites in Spath's Cutch revision<br />

{1928, pp. 163-252):—<br />

Dolikephalites subcompressus ? (Waagen), Spath 1928, p. 201, for Boehm's<br />

pi. xxxviii, fig. 2.<br />

Kamptokephalites beta-gamma (Boehm), Spath, p. 198, for Boehm's pi.<br />

xii, fig. 5.<br />

Kamptokephalites subkamptus Spath, p. 174, for Boehm's pi. xii, figs.<br />

1a, b only.<br />

Indocephalites apretus Spath, 1928, p. 190, for Boehm's pi. xxxix, fig. 3.<br />

Idiocycloceras bifurcatum (Boehm), Spath, p. 206, for Boehm's pi. xxxix,<br />

fig. 1 (= Kruizinga, 1926, pi. viii, figs. 1-3).<br />

Eucycloceras intermedium Spath, p. 210, for Boehm's pi. xxxviii, fig. 3.<br />

Kamptokephalites etheridgei Spath, 1928, pi. xxxii, fig. 3 (New Guinea),<br />

covering Macrocephalites waageni Kruizinga, 1926, pi. ix, figs. 1, 2,<br />

non Uhlig, from the Sula Islands.<br />

From these determinations it emerges that both Macrocephalus and<br />

Rehmanni Zones of the Cutch Callovian are represented in the Sula<br />

Islands. Macrocephalites s.s. as now understood seems to be represented<br />

by Boehm's pi. xxxvi, fig. 1 and perhaps pi. xliv, fig. 1.<br />

The presence of Lower Callovian on Rotti is attested by a ? Dolikephalites<br />

figured by Boehm, 1908, pi. xii, fig. 2.<br />

BATHONIAN<br />

The occurrence of both Lower and Upper or Middle Bathonian (or all<br />

three) at Keeuw in the Sula Islands is shown by three ammonites figured<br />

by Boehm (1912) amongst his Lower Callovian Macrocephalitids.<br />

Sphaeroceras sofanum Boehm (p. 150, pi. xxxv, fig. 2) is a typical Bullatimorphites,<br />

like the three species with which he compared it, all of which<br />

are Bathonian. Sphaeroceras godohense Boehm (p. 151, pi. xxxv, fig. 1)<br />

appears to be a Rugiferites like those from the Subcontractus Zone of<br />

England; but the apertural region is missing, and if the complete ammonite<br />

identified with Boehm's species by Kruizinga (1926, pi. xiv, figs. 2, 3)<br />

is the same, appearances are deceptive and S. godohense is nearer to the<br />

Bajocian Chondroceras. Lastly, at least one of the ammonites figured by<br />

Boehm as Oppelia fusca (pi. xxxiii, fig. 3) is the true O. fallax (Gueranger),<br />

of the Lower Bathonian. I have no hesitation in confirming this identification<br />

since receiving a collection of this species (in 1951) from Persia<br />

(see p. 371). Lissoceras occurs on Babar (Wanner, 1931, p. 588).<br />

BAJOCIAN<br />

Some other Keeuw ammonites figured by Boehm (1912) indicate the<br />

presence of the Bajocian. The fine Cadomites (pi. xxxiv, fig. 5), it can<br />

hardly be doubted, was correctly identified as an Upper Bajocian species by<br />

Boehm, although Cadomites ranges up into at least the Middle Bathonian<br />
