BY T. H. ALDRICH. 



Anomia navicelloides n. sp. 



Shell thin, pearly, with lines of growth on the outer surface ot 

 the superior valve, very nacreous and shining within, the upper 

 valve having a distinct heak, not marginal. Surface bearing traces 

 of broad radial color bands; interior showing three cicatrices, the 

 larger one with semicircular lines and fine striatious crossing them. 



Breadth of superior valve 13 mm., width 23 mm. 



Locality. Near Choctaw Corner, Ala., Wood's Bluff horizon. 

 Has very much the appearance of a Navicella, which has suggested 

 the name. Only the upper valve so far discovered. 



Odontostomia matthewsensis n. sp. 



Shell small, medium thickness, smooth, whorl six, spire rather 

 blunt, suture impressed ; aperture rather narrow, with one strong 

 fold on the columella, also partly reflected and rather pointed at 

 base. 



Length 3* mm., width 1 mm. 



Locality. Matthews Lauding, Alabama. 



Cancellaria annosa n. sp. 



Shell small, spire obtuse, whorls four, shouldered, strongly can- 

 cellated, nodular at junction of lines, the revolving line below the 

 suture more strongly nodular than the others ; outer lip expanded, 

 nodular within ; columella with two folds.
