and Manzoni; but the dimensions are generally larger than in Eocene examples, 

 all of them corresponding to specimens dredged in the Mediterranean. 



The operculum closes the ovicell. The latter is often keeled. The apertura 

 of the ovicelled zooecia is always larger. The number of costules is never greater 

 than 12 to 14. There are always five spines. 



Occurrence. — Miocene (Duplin marl): Wilmington, North Carolina (rare). 

 Miocene (Yorktown formation): 1 mile west of Fort Nonsense, Gloucester County, 

 Virginia (rare). Pleistocene: Santa Barbara, California (rare).

This form is recognizable by the small number and prominence of the costules. 

 It accompanies the typical form of the species at many recent and fossil localities. 

 Occurrence. — Pleistocene: Santa Monica, California (rare).

This variety is characterized by its smooth peristome, without tuberosities, 

 and by the small canal of the avicularium, which is larger than in the type. 



In reality the spines have not disappeared; on the perfect specimens they are 

 still visible, but they never have the size and importance of those which decorate 

 the type. The zooecia are a little larger and have 16 costules.

 Alabama. Oligocene (Anguilla formation) : Southwest side of Crocus Bay Bluff, 

 125 feet above sea level, Anguilla, Leeward Islands (rare). Oligocene (Antigua 

 formation) : Rifle Butts, Antigua, Leeward Islands (rare) .
