 Section IOL^EA, A. Adams, 1860. 



Shell umbilicated, turriculated or subulate ; whorls slightly 

 convex, spirally sulcate, with fine longitudinal striee in the inter-

Shell conical, elongated, smooth, shining, apex regular and 

 sharp ; whorls numerous, but slightly convex ; aperture sub- 

 oval, angulated in front and behind, lip sharp. Atlantic Ocean; 

 abyssal. 



Jeffreys has placed this group in Turritellidae ; it appears to 

 be more nearly related to Aclis. 



Genus HOLOPELLA, M'Coy, 1852. 



Shell elongated, slender, of numerous gradually increasing 

 convex whorls, with deep suture, usually arcuately striate, or 

 smooth, sometimes reticulated ; aperture circular, with contin-

 rather distant, sublamellar longitudinal striae ; whorls convex ;

Silurian. E. SCALARIFORME, Lindstrom. 



The name is proposed instead of Callonema, Hall, 1879, not 

 Conrad, 1873; but if the latter is really, as suspected, a syno- 

 nym of Spironema, Meek, 1864, Hall's name might be retained.
