CRETACEOUS FOSSILSplications opposite the middle of the aperture; surface of the volutionsmarked by strong, rounded, vertical plications or folds, ~vhich becomeobsolete a little below the periphery and are also less distinct upon theouter half of the last volution. About 11 of these folds are presentupon the outer volution of an average example. A plaster c;~st of theupper half of a shell from a natural mould has about five rol~~tions, thespire is conical and turreted with an apical angle of about 75"; sutnrc~vell defined; thc solutions of the spire strongly angular a little belowt,he middle of t,he distance between the sutures, the npper surface flattenedor slightly concave, the angle marked xith strong nodes, of whichthere are about 1.2 on each rolution. ljpper surface of the hod? ~olntionnearly flat, sloping do\vnlvard from the suture to the angular peripherv,which is marked by strong nodes similar to those of the npper volnt ions ;below the peripl11:t-y t,hc surface is gently conyes as far as the specimencontinues. Surface nlarked by finc revolving costae, and by lines ofgro~vtll ~~~llich, just bclolv the sntore, are ;IS strong or stronger than t.1~rerolving costae. The dircclio~l of the lincs of growth indicate t,hat theouter lip of the aperture was broadly sinuat,~ in its upper part."(TTTeller)Remnr1cs.-The external characteristics of the species are less wellknown thau the internal features.Rairge in iVet11 Jersey-TVENONAEI : 34, 35MT.
