  "With 
  regard 
  to 
  the 
  types 
  of 
  Turritella 
  cooperi 
  Carpenter, 
  we 
  have 
  several 
  specimens 
  in 
  

   the 
  old 
  California 
  State 
  collections 
  under 
  number 
  548. 
  Carpenter 
  originally 
  described 
  the 
  

   species 
  as 
  number 
  564, 
  but 
  in 
  Cooper's 
  catalogue 
  of 
  the 
  collection 
  564 
  is 
  listed 
  as 
  Goniobasis 
  

   silicuh 
  and 
  number 
  548 
  is 
  tiie 
  oidy 
  Turritella 
  cooperi 
  listed 
  by 
  him. 
  None 
  of 
  the 
  specimens 
  is 
  

   designated 
  as 
  type, 
  but 
  two 
  of 
  them 
  have 
  been 
  jjasted 
  on 
  a 
  card 
  at 
  one 
  time. 
  Of 
  these 
  two 
  

   specimens, 
  one 
  is 
  a 
  fossil 
  and 
  the 
  other 
  a])pears 
  to 
  be 
  a 
  beach 
  worn 
  Recent 
  specimen. 
  Both 
  fit 
  

   the 
  general 
  description 
  given 
  by 
  Carjienter 
  in 
  the 
  Proc. 
  Calif. 
  Acad. 
  Sci. 
  description, 
  except 
  

   that 
  neither 
  one 
  has 
  tlie 
  color 
  markings 
  noted 
  by 
  him. 
  However, 
  his 
  description 
  notes 
  that 
  

   Cooper 
  had 
  a 
  large 
  number 
  of 
  specimens, 
  and 
  1 
  am 
  wondering 
  if 
  tlie 
  description 
  may 
  have 
  

   been 
  a 
  composite. 
  

  

  "With 
  respect 
  to 
  the 
  measurements 
  given 
  by 
  Carpenter 
  the 
  fossil 
  specimen 
  tliat 
  had 
  been 
  

   pasted 
  on 
  the 
  card 
  fits 
  them 
  approximately. 
  The 
  apex 
  of 
  the 
  specimen 
  has 
  had 
  a 
  slight 
  amount 
  

   broken 
  off 
  in 
  recent 
  years, 
  and 
  e.xcejjt
