of anterior end at riglit angles to the axis reflected outwardly, 

 moderately thickened ; central i)ortion of test slightly arched. 



Length of specimen 5-5 mm. ; maximum diameter nearly 1-5 mm. 

 Formation. — Bracklesham Beds. Locality. — liracklcsham Bay. 

 The sole example on which this species is founded is, unfortunately, 

 not in a very good condition, its pointed extremity being incomplete ; 

 if restored the shell would, no doubt, reach as much as 8 mm. in 

 length. The remains, however, are sufficiently characteristic to 

 prevent confusion with any other genus; and it seemed desirable 

 to place the matter on record. Its nearest ally is E. succincta, 

 Defrance, from the Calcaire Grossier (Middle Eocene) of the Paris 

 basin, which is a smaller form (4 to 5 mm.), thinner, ha^ong an 

 oblique orifice, with a more pronounced thickened edge, and more 

 undulating in its length.
