PYRULA Greenwoodii. 



TAB. CCCCXCVIII. 



Spec. Char. Pyriform with a short produced spire, 

 reticulated with scattered elevated striae ; beak 

 pointed; shell thin. 



A NEAT shell, considerably longer than P. nexilis (tab. 

 331), and its striae are not so much elevated, so that it 

 is recognised at first sight as a distinct species. 



For this hitherto undiscovered fossil, which is the 

 more interesting as it belongs to a genus consisting of 

 but a small number of species, we are indebted to Mrs. 

 Greenwood, by whose name we have distinguished it, 

 acknowledging the zeal with which she has made an in- 

 teresting collection of Hampshire fossils, in which this 

 forms an ornament, and the kindness with which she has 

 opened it to our examination.
