Description. — " Tube very Hexuous, with regularly transverse but un- 

 equally distant, sharply angled or evenly rounded annulations." Hall, 

 1888. 



" Shell having the form of a gradually tapering, more or less curved 

 or flexuous, annulated cone. On the internal casts the annulations have 

 the aspect of insheathed cones, the slope being abrupt below and gradual 

 above. The width of the annulations is variable, but is usually a little less 

 than 1 mm. ; they are somewhat irregular, there occasionally being one 

 which does not entirely surround the tube."' Weller, 1903. 



A single specimen from the Keyser member appears to belong to this 

 species and is the only one which the writer has seen from the Lower 

 Devonian of the State.
