 Stenoschisma, Conrad, 1839, Ann. Rep. 

 N. Y., p. 59. [Ety. stenos, narrow; 

 schisma, fissure.] Writtten Stenocisma 

 by Conrad. Subtriangular, ovoid, or 

 subglobose , hinge-line short ; beak of 

 ventral valve extended, attenuate, more 

 or less arcuate, and appressed upon the 

 opposite valve ; mesial fold and sinus ; 

 surface plicated, valves articulated by 

 teeth and sockets; median septum in 

 dorsal valve, on each side of which the 

 crura are supported. Type S. formo- 

 sum. Conrad mentioned Terebratula 

 schlotheimi as the type which is now 

 the type of Camarophoria ; but, as Hall 

 shows, Conrad was mistaken in identi- 

 fying what is now known as S. formo- 

 sum, with the European Camarophoria 

 schlotheimi.
