ward. Front margin of the valve very steep, the hind margin very 

 tlatly curved. Surface of the cast covered with fairly prominent, 

 concentric folds ; no trace of radial scul})ture. 



Left лаЬе: length 30 mm, breadth 20 mm and thickness 8*5 mm. 

 Angle at the beak ca. 65°. 



Casts of two small (7 — 8 mm long) left valves of an Ancella were 

 found at "Kløft П" on Store Koldewey Island; in these the umbo is 

 pointed and inclined strongly inw^ards; the surface only has fairly 

 well-marked, concentric folds. These are possibly young specimens 

 of the above s})ecies. 



Distribution. North-Easl Greenland: in boulders near Hare- 

 tjæld at Danmarks Havn (2 spec). "Kløft I" on Store Koldewey 

 (2 spec.?). 



East Greenland: in Middle Porllandian at Aucella River on 

 Jameson's Land. 



Spitzbergen: in Portlandian. 



King Charles Land: Kimmeridgian — Portlandian. 



Russia: Portlandian. 



England: Portlandian. 



Alaska: Lower Portlandian. 



Mexico: Pavlow notes the species from here with some re- 

 servation.

The lefl valve obliquely pyriform, fairly strongly arched, very 

 oblique; umbo bent strongly backwards, concave in front, fairly Hat 

 above; the anterior and ventral margins together forming almost a 

 semicircle; posterior margin somew^iat concave. Surface of the cast 

 covered with fine, concentric lines and of still finer radial striae, 

 almost as in A. Broniii. 



Left valve: length 30 mm, breadlji И) nnu and thickness ca. 

 () mm; angle at the umbo ca. 75°. 



Along with this left valve was also a badly preserved right 

 valve; it is almost completely flat and has the same sculpture as 

 the left valve.
