Bear Skin Bay, Skidegate Inlet : a well preserved and very charac- 

 teristic cast, which, however, does not shew the septation. 



The specimen measures five inches and three-quarters in its gi'eat- 

 est diameter and the maximum width of its umbilicus is two inches 

 and a quarter. Its volutions are somewhat squared, and the outer 

 whorl is ornamented by twenty-one large, widely distant and nodul- 

 ous ribs, which are interrupted or cut through, on the centre of the 

 periphery, by a simple, narrowly i-ounded and moderately prominent 

 keel. The ribs ai'e mostly simple but occasionally they bifurcate, and 

 on the inner or posterior half of the outer volution they bear four 

 tubercles or nodules on each side of the keeled pei-iphery. On the 

 outer or anterior half of the same volution and especially near the 

 aperture the ribs bear only three tubercles on each side of the peri- 

 phery, the two inner ones being nearly obsolete, while the outer one 

 rises to a height of fully ten millimetres.
