There are a number of specimens which are very evidently this 

 species, and show little variation in form and general characters 

 Chapman and Howchin record this from the Tertiary of Australia 

 Terquem described the species from the Pliocene of the Isle of 

 Rhodes; Sclilumberger described his species, which is evidently the 

 same as Terquem's, from the Gulf of Marseille. 



Sidebottom had the same species from the Bay of Palermo, Sicily. 

 The figure given by Brady referred to above seems to be this same 

 species. From other material that I have had it seems to be wide- 

 spread and of very constant characters in this general region.

There is a single specunen which is very clearly this variety de- 

 scribed by Chapman from "forty miles south of Cape Wiles." It 

 has the same peculiar surface markings as shown in the type figure, 

 and probably has a widespread distribution about Australia and 



elsewhere.

There are two specimens which are referred to this species. One 

 represents several close-set chambers irregularly coiled. The other
