angle, and not immediately at the suture. The transverse striae are continued over 

 the ribs when the shell is perfect, but those prominent parts are often smooth. The 

 costse are in general vertical, though in some there is a slight curvature. The speci- 

 mens from Bramerton appear punctated, from an alteration and erosion of the surface. 

 A specimen from Bridlington, sent by Mr. Bean, with the name " jjlicatilis,"" appears to 

 be a variety of this species, which is very variable in its proportionate dimensions as 

 well in the fossil as in the recent specimens ; several shells, considered as specifically 

 distinct by Moller, are probably only varieties.

This shell appears to correspond with the figure and description of what is con- 

 sidered a distinct species, and I have given it upon the authority of British conchologists, 

 who may perhaps have better means of determining that point either from colour or 

 other character. I have but two or three specimens ; it may, however, be a variety 

 of CI. turricida, as it is only in the proportions that I can observe any difference between 

 my fossil specimens of this species and those of turricula.
