types, whose adults correspond to later stages in the ontogene- 

 sis of F. coins, appear progressively later and later in time, while 

 at the same time primitive species persist to some extent. A 

 number of distinct lines of divergence or radiation have been 

 found within the genus Fiisiis, each paralleling the F. colus 

 series, so that for each member of this latter series a corre- 

 sponding member can be usually found in each of the other 

 series. Similar series have been worked out among the Eocene 

 Clavilithoids, and a number of other Eocene and later groups. 

 The ontogeny of hundreds of individuals has been worked out 

 with reference to the shell structure, and these data have served 

 as the basis for the determination of the phylogeny of the prin- 

 cipal series among the Fusids.
