in bluff west of bath-house, Santa Barbara, and at old irrigating dittdi, Ventura. The 

 specimen figured is from the lower San Pedro series at Deadman Island, and i.s now 

 in the collection of Delos Arnold.

Pleistocene. — San Pedro; Santa Barbara; Ventura (Arnold). 



Pliocene. — San Pedro (Arnold).

Plate VIII, Fig. 14. 



Shell small, broadly fusiform; spire elevated; apex subacute; whorls five, convex, slightly 

 angular above, with about sixteen prominent, rounded ribs, which extend from suture to suture; 

 surface sculptured with spiral sulcations; suture deeply impressed, distinct; aperture slightly oblique, 

 subelliptical; canal short; body-whorl ventricose, lacking transverse sculpture on lower portion; 

 pillar smooth. 



Dimensio7is. — Long. 12 mm.; lat. 7.5 mm.; body-whorl S.5 mm.; aperture, including canal, 

 6.8 mm.; canal i mm.; defl. 50 degrees. 



Distingui.shable from B.fidicula by much broader form, fewer and less sharply 

 angular whorls, and more ventricose body-whorl, and less elevated spire. The type 

 specimen was examined by Dr. Dall, who pronounced it a new species. 



Type from lower San Pedro series (Pleistocene) at Port Los Angeles, near 

 Santa Monica. Five specimens of the same species, with slightly more angulated 

 whorls, were found in the lower San Pedro series of Deadman Island. The specimen 

 figured is the type, which is now in the United States National Museum. 



Pleistocene. — San Pedro; Port Los Angeles (Arnold). 



Genus Mangilia (Leach) Bisso. 

 The present genus includes all P leiirotomidce without opercula. 



Subgenus Clathurella Carpenter. 



Shell fusiform or turriculated; columella lip without callosity, except a small posterior tooth; 

 no operculum; the cancellated surface, more ventricose form, and more evident canal, distinguish it 

 from Mangilia; the emargination of the outer lip from C/avalit/a; the texture and sculpture of the 

 surface from Bela and Daphnella. 



Pleurotoma luLenris Blainv. is a characteristic species.

Shell small, robust, broadly fusiform; spire high, whorls seven, the first smooth and round,
