(1. c.) and "Nautilus gorasd^ensis" ASSMANN (1. c.) is included in the synonymy, whereas KUMMEL's (1. c.) record from Israel is taken as doubtful. One of the recentiy figured salinarius specimens from Israel (PARNES 1. c.) seems to be a proper representative of this species, while the affiliation of the other specimen is questionable. Distribution — G. salinarius was originally described from the Alpine "Schreyeralm" limestones (Middle to Upper Anisian), later on it was found in the Anisian of the Germanic and Sephardic domains and in the Himalaya. The Aszófő specimens were collected from Bed 90 (Binodosus Subzone of the Trinodosus Zone) and the Beds 60 and 82 of Aszófő I. (Zoldianus Subzone of the Balatonicus Zone), respectively. Superfamily Trigonoceratoidea HYATT, 1884 Family Syringonautilidae MOJSISOVICS, 1902 Genus Sjringonautilus MOJSISOVICS, 1902 Syringonautilus cf. lilianus (MOJSISOVICS, 1882) (Plate II: 8a-c) 1882 Nautilus lilianus E. V. MOJSISOVICS — MOJSISOVICS, p. 286, pl. LXXXII, figs 3a-b, 4a-b. Material — One complete, poorly preserved specimen (M.99.121). Measurements: D WH WW U UP 35.5 16.5 (46.5) 14 (39.4) 10.5 (29.6) Description — This is a medium-sized Sjringo­nautilus with calcite-filled phragmocone and the cast of the little crushed body chamber showing parts of the peristome. The coiling is moderately involute (convo­lute). The whorl-section is subrounded, elliptical, slightly compressed. The umbilical wall is rather steep; the umbilical margin is blunt. The flank is gentiy convex and passes gradually into the arched venter. The ornamen­tation is very weak; it consists only of faint growth lines, which are slighdy convex on the flanks and strongly arched posteriorly on the venter. The peristome follows the same pattern: it protrudes on the flanks (as weak lappets) and is deeply incised on the ventral side. The suture lines are poorly visible; they are very simple, with shallow lateral lobes. Remarks — S. lilianus is the type species of the genus Sjringonautilus. Other Anisian representatives of the genus [e.g.: S. carolinus (MOJSISOVICS, 1882), S. subcarolinus (MOJSISOVICS, 1882)] differ from S. lilianus by their more rounded whorl-section. Distribution — S. lilianus was described from the Middle and Upper Anisian of the Alpine-Mediterranean region. The Aszófő specimen was collected from Bed 7 of the section Aszófő II. (Balatonicus Subzone of the Balatonicus Zone). Superfamily Clydonautiloidea HYATT in ZlTTEL, 1900 Family Liroceratidae MILLER & YOUNGQUIST, 1949 Genus Paranautilus MOJSISOVICS, 1902 Paranautilus cf. indifferens (HAUER, 1892) (Plate II: 7) 1892 Nautilus indifferens n. sp. — HAUER, p. 5 [253], pl. I, figs 2a-b. Material — One almost complete, slightly crushed specimen (M.99.122). Measurements: D WH WW U UP 44.7 28.5 (63.8) 17 (38) — — Description — A medium-sized Paranautilus; an internal cast, partiy with silicified shell; slighdy crushed. The coiling is involute; the umbilicus is occluded. The whorl-section is subrounded, high elliptical, moderately compressed. The flank is gentiy convex, and passes gradually into the highly arched venter. It is an almost smooth form; only faint growth lines, slighdy convex on the flanks and arched posteriorly on the venter, are visible. The suture lines are seen only where the silicified shell is removed; they seem to be very simple, with low amplitude. Remarks — P. indifferens stands morphologically very close to P. simonji (HAUER, 1849), the Upper Triassic type species of Paranautilus. It is closely related to P. bosnensis (HAUER, 1892); the latter has a narrow, but markedly open umbilicus in contrast to the occluded umbilicus of P. indifferens.
