deeply so posteriorly than anteriorly. Spire entirely covered when the 
outer coating of enamel is perfect, but in the only specimen collected 
the enamel is partially exfoliated in such a way as to show that under- 
neath it the spire is very small, conical, and composed of at least four 
volutions, also that it extends just as far backward as the produced pos- 
terior end of the outer lip. This partial exfoliation of the outer layer of 
enamel is, however, barely perceptible to the naked eye, and is not shown 
in the figure. Outer volution very large in proportion to the rest, broad- 
est and most inflated a little behind the mid-length, abruptly attenuate 
behind, but narrowing much more gradually in front, its anterior margin 
being narrowly rounded ; outer lip thickened exteriorly and considerably 
produced behind ; inner or columellar lip also produced behind and sepa- 
rated from the outer lip by a narrow channel or canal; characters of 
the interior of the aperture unknown, though it clearly extended the 
whole length, and is narrow and linear behind. 
Surface smooth. . 
Dimensions of the specimen described (which has been kindly pre- 
sented by its discoverer to the Museum of the Geological Survey) ; length, 
twenty millimetres; greatest breadth, twelve millimetres. 
Sucia Islands, Dr. C. F. Newcombe, 1894. 
Most of the aperture of this interesting little fossil is filled with the 
tough and tenacious matrix, so that it is impossible to ascertain whether 
there are or are not any crenulations on the inner surface of the outer 
lip, or any denticulations or plications on the columellar side. The exter- 
nal characters of the specimen, however, would seem to show that it is a 
small smooth Cyprea, very closely allied to the C, Cunliffei of Forbes,’ from 
the Arrialoor group of the Trinchinopoly district of Southern India, and 
it may prove to be only a variety of that species. The Cyprea Bayerquei 
and ©. Mathewsoni, described in the first and second volumes of the Palæ- 
ontology of California as from the Tejon group of that state, are now 
generally regarded as Eocene fossils.
