Lagena acuticosta, Reuss, var. ramulosa, nov.

The test in this variety shows a departure from the typical 

 form * in having ramifying or branching costae. The ribs are 

 prominent and more or less thick and sub-acute • the figured 

 specimen has eleven visible at the base. The neck is tolerably 

 stout and but slightly produced, so that the shell is shaped like a 

 grape-pip. 



Length about *33 mm.
