"The figure in the Testaceographia, selected by d'Orbigny to 

 bear the name Frondicularia alata, is that of a short complanate 

 shell, which is very broad near the initial end, owing to the arms 

 of the V-shaped segments reaching back nearly into a line with 

 the primordial chamber. The free ends of the segments are irre- 

 gular, and most of them projecting and pointed. The drawing 

 is somewhat rough, but represents in their extreme development 

 characters easily recognized in more typical specimens. 



" Referring to the illustrations, the two large figures (figs. 20, 

 21) represent good examples of the species in the adult condi- 

 tion, the free ends of the chambers forming a nearly straight line, 

 and one here and there extended into a projecting point. Such 

 shells attain large dimensions, the length sometimes exceeding 

 one-fifth inch (5 mm.). Vanden Broeck {loc. cit.) gives an ex-
