54 MOLLUSCxV FROM THE CRAG. 



stris I presume are the fine lines of growth, more especially visible where the shell 

 has lost part of its outer coating. I have figured two individuals, both of which are 

 rubbed and worn.

 middle, concave above the keel, convex below it ; aperture ovate ; canal elongated, and 

 rather broad.

I have but one specimen from each formation. These shells have about eight 

 volutions, with the keel a little above the centre of the whorl. Dr. Philippi describes 

 his shell as having a prominent and elevated keel. In the Crag specimens it is only 

 sharply angulated, being, perhaps, worn at that part. The position of the sinus is not 

 distinctly defined in either of my specimens. Probably it was a little above the 

 keel.

I have but a few specimens of this species in good preservation. It appears, how- 

 ever to correspond with one of the varieties of that variable and well-known shell 

 from Barton and Bracklesham, where it is abundant. This is one of the few Eocene 

 shells that may be considered as having lived on to the Crag period. The sinus of our 

 shell is situate in the upper and most projecting part of the volution, at which place 

 there are two rows of nodules ; these are carried up the spire hke the marks of punc- 

 tuation which suggested the name to Mr. Sowerby. The Crag species appears a variety 

 of P. semicolon ; there is one ridge near the suture, above the concave part of the
