IV.—Notes on the Cephalopoda Belonging to the Strachey Collection from the Himalaya. Part I: Jurassic
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 01 May 2009
Extract
In 1851 Captain (now Sir) Richard Strachey communicated to the Geological Society of London a paper ”On the Geology of Part of the Himalaya Mountains and Tibet,” based upon the observations which he had made during the years 1848 and 1849. The Palæozoic and Secondary fossils therein mentioned were described in 1865 by J. W. Salter and H. F. Blanford respectively in a work of which the title-page reads as follows: “Palæontology of Niti in the Northern Himalaya: being descriptions and figures of the Palæozoic and Secondary Fossils collected by Colonel Richard Strachey, R.E. Descriptions by J. W. Salter, F.G.S., A.L.S., and H. F. Blanford, A.R.S.M., F.G.S. Reprinted with slight corrections for private circulation from Colonel Strachey's forthcoming work on the Physical Geography of the Northern Himalaya. Calcutta: O. T. Cutter, Military Orphan Press. March, 1865.”

page 62 note 3 Respecting the locality of these Ammonites Dr. W. T. Blanford, who was for many years connected with the Geological Survey of India, writes (Proc. Malac. Soc., vol. v, No. 6, October, 1903, p. 345):—”So far as I am aware, no such place as ‘Sulgranees’ is known, and I may add that it is very doubtful whether the Ammonites represented in the ‘Illustrations’ came originally from Nepal at all; it is more probable they were brought from further west, from the region whence Ammonites have been supplied to India in all probability for ages. It is certain ihat there has long been an importation of small Ammonites into India from the Tibetan side of the Himalayas, chiefly from the Spiti district, N.N.E. of Simla, or from the neighbourhood of the Niti pass, north of Kumaun. These Ammonites, together with certain other stones, are known to Hindus by the name of ‘Saligram.’ I think it is probable that this name, slightly modified and written Sulgranees, has been mistaken for the locality of the fossils.”
