vidual of P. Sutherlandi. The specimens of the former are poorly 

 preserved, but they differ clearly from P. Sutherlandi in having a 

 more acute and more elongate spire, and in the possession of dis- 

 tinct spiral ribs. Stoliczka ■•' examined Baily's types, and he states 

 that " The ornamentation of this species is very like that of Turri- 

 tella multistriata " (see p. 318). 



The specimen identified by Griesbach as Ceritliium {Fibula ?) 

 detectum, Stoliczka, is in the Hamburg Museum, and appears to be 

 only a water-worn example of P. Sutherlandi. 



The imperfect specimen figured by Etheridge f as Cliemnitzia 

 Sutherlandi ? seems to be distinct from that species. 



Bemarks. — Fourteen specimens have been examined. The type is 

 in the Museum of the Geological Society of London. Baily's figure 

 is somewhat restored, and the flattening of the posterior parts of the 

 whorls is not clearly indicated.

An imperfect specimen, which was erroneously referred to Turri- 

 tella Benauxiana, d'Orbigny, by Baily, is in the Museum of the 

 Geological Society of London ; the aperture is missing and the sur- 

 face of the shell is worn. This specimen was seen by Stoliczka, and 

 was identified by him with Euchrysalis gigantea from the Trichi- 

 nopoli and Ariyalur Groups. | In the Pondoland example the spire 

 is less elongated than in E. gigantea. More material is needed 

 before Stoliczka' s identification can be confirmed. Pseudomelania 

 Stoliczkai (Geinitz), § from the Cenomanian of Plauen, near Dresden, 

 also resembles the form from Pondoland. Specimens of Pseudo- 

 melania from the Chlomek Beds have been referred to P. gigantea 

 by Sturm.
