242 SPURIOUS SCAPHOPODA : SERPULID.E. 



organisms are to be found in the opercula, gills, etc, rather than in 

 the tubes, which give characters of but little value to the modern 

 helminthologist. 



In early Tertiary and Cretaceous deposits there are several species 

 with solid, thick, heavily ribbed shells, such as Serpula heptagona 

 Sowb., " Z)." rudis Gabb, etc. Their exact generic relations are not 

 known to me, but they are obviously members of the family ^Serpi/i- 

 idm, (see pi. 37, fig. 20, " D." abbreviatmn Dh.). 



The species are arranged alphabetically without regard to geologi- 

 cal horizon, and no attempt at synonymy, even when obvious, has 

 been made.
