Cassidaria brevidentata Aid. var. PI. XXII, fig. 10. 



This specimen shows an unusually large number of nodules on 

 the luimeral carina. In front, the two lower carinse are without 

 nodules, while on the back all three carinse are strongly nodular. 



Locality, Bell's Landing, Ala. 



Levifusus trabeatus Con. PI. XXII, fig. 11: 



Here is one of the largest and the most compact varieties of this 

 species. The labral lirse are unusually well marked; the carinal 

 nodules are very large but imperfectly defined. 



Locality, Bell's Landing, Ala. 



Triton (Ranularia) eocenensis Aid. PI. XXIII, fig. 1. 



Upon the whole, this is the most perfect specimen of this species 

 yet found. Its apex is somewhat eroded and might be represented 

 a little more acute. Strangely enough, it does not show varices on 

 the whorls as is usual in specimens of this species. 



Locality, Gregg's Landing, Ala. 



Caricella podagrina Dall. PI. XXIII, fig. 2. 



The specimen herewith figui'ed is so exceptionally fine that it has 

 seemed worth while to have it thus specially noticed in our paleon- 

 tological literature.

Fusus bellanus n. sp. PI. XXIII, fig. .3. 



Specific characterization. — Size and general form of the shell as 

 indicated by the figure ; whorls 8 or 9 ; embryonic 3 smooth ; others 

 marked by from 8 to 10 sharp, flattened peripheral spines, at whose 

 base or immediately at the suture a subordinate series of spines oc- 

 cur on the larger whorls; canal nearly closed, long, straight ; labial 

 callus thin. 



At first sight this seemed like a large, well-formed F. mohri, but 

 on comparing details it was found to be very distinct. 



Locality, Bell's Lauding, Ala. 



Cyllene bellana n. sp. PI. XXIII, fig. 4. 



Specific characterization. — Size and general form as indicated by 

 the figure; whorls about 8; embryonic 3 small, smooth, others 

 finely costate and with fine revolving lines ; cost!?e strongest on the 

 central portion of the whorls (t. e., on the shoulder) vanishing above, 

 reaching the suture below ; columella twisted, Strepsidura-\WQ below ; 

 labrum lirate within ; exterior of body whorl with extremely fine
