IV.—Jurassic Ammonites: Notes on a Pamphlet by Professor Guido Bonarelli2

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  01 May 2009

Extract

Italian geologists have made several valuable contributions to our knowledge of the Jurassio strata of their country. Unfortunately some of their works are not known here as they deserve to be, and seem difficult to obtain. At the same time I have to acknowledge with thanks the receipt of some valuable memoirs which have been of particular service; and one of the latest arrivals is the present pamphlet.

page 299 note 1 I propose this name as a sort of colloquial word, congruous with Ammonites, Ceratites, Goniatites, etc., to distinguish those genera which are certainly not true Ammonites, either in characters or hy descent, namely, Lytoceras, Pleuracanthites, Phylloceras, Monophyllites, etc. They are characterized by the phylliform cells of the septa, and probably by the absence of any calcareous Aptychus or Anaptychus. Lytoceratites are biologically lower than Ammonites, though they are collateral and coeval. They were separated by Hyatt (Genesis Arietidæ, p. 4) as Lytoceratinœ; but this places Lytoceratinœ superior to Lytoceratidœ, whereas it should be of inferior rank. The terms Lytocerataceœ and Ammonacece (the latter used many years ago) might indicate Lytoceratites and Ammonites respectively, and be subdivisions of Ammonoidea.
