In Eastman's translation of Zittel's Text-book of Paheontology, Hyatt 

 regards Tetragonites not only as a distinct genus, but as the type of a new 

 family which he calls the Tetragonitidfe.

A few additional specimens of this species were collected at Hornby 

 Island, by Mr. Harvey, between the years 1890 and 1896, and determined 

 by the writer. Most of these are now in the Provincial Museum at 

 Victoria. Dr. Kossmat, also, says that he saw a specimen of P. Indra, 

 collected at Vancouver Island, by Sir James Hector, in the Natural 

 History Department of the British Museum at South Kensington.* 



Heteroceras elongatum. (N. Sp.) 



Plate 44, fig. 2. 



Heteroceras Conradi, Whiteaves. 1.S79. This volume, pt. 2, p. 100, pi. 12 ; but probably 

 not Ammonceratites Conradi, Morton (1839). 



Shell composed of a calcareous tube, which is at first coiled in a regular 

 elongated spiral, as in Turrilites, but which is ultimately free and partially 

 uncoiled. Spiral portion either dextral or sinistral, narrowly elongated, 

 longer than wide; volutions rounded, ventricose and inflated externally, 

 rather obliquely coiled, in contact at the suture, but with a narrow um- 

 bilical caA'ity or perforation between them. Uncoiled portion and sculp- 

 ture of both portions, as previously described on page 101 of the second 

 part of this volume. 



The specimens collected by Mr. Richardson, which were referred to 

 Heteroceras Conradi, are very imperfect and do not shew the shape and 

 proportions of the spire, or closely coiled portion of the shell, at all well. 

 This feature is much better seen in two sinistral specimens from Hornby 

 Island, collected by Mr. Harvey, in 1895, and especially in the one figured 

 on Plate 44. The discovery of these two fossils has led to the conclusion
