The peristomes are more salient laterally than in Crisia hornesi Reuss, 1847, 

 with which it is scarcely possible to confuse it. 



Occurrence. Middle Jacksonian: Near Lenuds Ferry, South Carolina (rare). 



Geological distribution. Lutetian of Paris (Canu) ; Priabonian of the Vicen- 

 tin (Eeuss) ; Eupelian ( = Stampian) of Germany (Eeuss) and of Gaas (Reuss) ; 

 Burdigalian of Gard (Canu) ; Helvetian of Italy (Seguenza) and of Gard (Canu) ; 

 Tortonian of Austria Hungary (Reuss) and of Italy (Seguenza) ; Zanclean of 

 Italy (Seguenza) ; Astian of Italy (Seguenza). 



Neviani in 1900 affirmed that this species lived in the Mediterranean. This is 

 possible, but we have not j'et sufficient proof of this fact.

Distance between the apertures 0.24 mm. 



Measurements. 



Width of zooecia, including peristome 0.08 mm. 



Zoarial width - 0.28 mm. 



In the separation of the apertures, which is less than the zoarial width, this 

 species is close to Crisia Mrnesi Reuss, 1847. It differs from it in its micrometric 

 dimensions, and especially in a larger number of tubes on the segments (27 in 

 place of 18). 



We have based our determination on Osburn's figure. 



The ovicell is pyriform, salient; its oeciopore is terminal and placed against 

 the zoarial wall ; it has no salient oeciostome. 



Occurrence. Lower Jacksonian (Moodys marl) : Jackson, Mississippi (rare). 



Habitat Coasts of the United States (28 meters) at Crab-Ledge on Cape 

 Cod, and of Canada.

CRISIA LOWEI, new species. 



Plate 141 fig. 8. 



Description. The segments are short and are formed of 14 to 15 lateral and 

 alternate tubes. The peristomes are orbicular, somewhat salient laterally to one- 

 half of their diameter; their separation is less than the zoarial width. The ovicell 

 is pyriform.
