LAGENA HEXAGONA. 193 



American littoral by d'Orbigny. No specimen was obtained from the ' Challenger* 

 dredgings. "We note its occurrence as a fossil from the Eocene of the London 

 Clay, the Miocene of Messina (Seguenza) and Muddy Creek, Victoi'ia, and from 

 the Pliocene of St. Brth. We have specimens also in our own collection from 

 the Casterliau and Scaldisian of Antwerp. In the Coralline Crag we have 

 specimens from every locality examined except Aldborough.
