Spec. Cuar. Wing-formed; anterior side pro- 
duced, truncated, with a broad compressed 
ridge extended to the beak ; posterior side cos- 
tated, reunded, coste many, thick, irregularly 
crenulated, obligue, recurved, and attenuated 
towards the ridge on the anterior side where 
they terminate.

ridge, is a concave surface ornamented with a few irre- 
gularly crenulated ribs, that extend across the ridge 
near the beak, and join attenuated ends of the other 
coste, but are gradually lost upon the produced part of

which are very evident in relief upon the casts, see fig. 2. 
A long known shell among the siliceous fossils, often

individuals represented in figures 1, 3, and 4, are se- 
lected from Mr. Miller’s choice collection: fig. 4 is re-

to be abundant, as many are included in the same mass : 
there are casts of the outsides also, allowing spaces
