Observations. This species differs very much from the 
last described. It is more elevated, without folds, has a 
smaller mouth, and is striate only on the lower part of the 
whorl. <A single individual only was obtained, the apex 
of which is broken. 
No species of Fasciolaria seem to have been observed 
in a fossil state in Great Britain. M. Deshayes in his 
Tables gives five species, three of which are from Dax 
(Miocene). In the United States none have, I believe, — 
been noticed. The Voluta Lamberti of Sowerby, has been 
obtained by Mr Conrad, at St Mary’s, Maryland. Mr C. 
considers it a Fasciolaria.*
