rounded ; concave margin smooth, with a slightly developed, broad, median 

 projection. 



Lingual membrane (PL III. Fig. H). Morse's figure shows 4 perfect lat- 

 erals. He counted 52 rows of 12 — 1 — 12 teeth. It will be noticed that bis 

 figure does not show the cutting points of the side cusps of the central and lat- 

 eral teeth, which I have found in specimens lately examined from Florida. I 

 found a similar number of teeth.

 the last planulate above, widely umbilicated below ; aper-

 noticed in Monterey, near San Francisco, and Nevada County, California. I 

 doubt not that it will be found over the whole continent.
