in the neighbourhood of the umbo only. With the exception of tliis cliaracter the 

 Eng-b'sh specimens agree closely with the foreign examples, and this difference 

 may very well lie due to the latter being much less perfectly preserved than the 

 former. Moreover, in some English specimens the ridges mentioned are partly or 

 entirely wanting. 



The English examples occur at a lower horizon than those found abroad, 

 namely, in the zone of Feden oftj^er. The foreign specimens are found in the 

 Turonian and Senonian, and possibly also in the Cenomanian, and, like the English 

 examples, they occur chiefly in beds of a sandy nature. This last fact may account 

 for the absence of the species in the English Chalk, during the deposition of which 

 the sea-iloor was formed of ooze and was at a greater depth. 



Lima Etalknii, Pictet and Campicho,' from the Yalauginian, presents some 

 resemblance to L. canalifera, but has a smaller apical angle ; the character of its 

 fine ornamentation is unknown.
