This shell is fwller than Zedina Antoni’, and less con- 
tracted at the end, but its most important characteristic 
is, that it is not radiately striated between the ridges. It 
differs from 7. evculpta, in having raised and almost spi- 
nous lamine at the posterior side over the radiating rib 
and postcostal area. But it has not, like 2. Deshayesi. 
these raised laminze also at the other end.
