A rather compressed limestone-cast of what appears to be 

 an example of Bellardi^s Fusus goniop/iorus, from the Num- 

 mulitic rocks of Egypt. It comprises three whorls, the 

 earlier part of the spire being absent, on two at least of which 

 can be traced an obtuse posterior angulation beneath the 

 suture. The front or apertural view exhibits the presence of 

 a sharp carination extending from the posterior corner of the 

 mouth, beneath which on the base of the shell occur rather 

 distant, elevated spiral lines. No anterior canal is preserved, 

 the specimen showing a fractured surface where that would 

 originally have been situated. The dorsal aspect closely 

 resembles Bellardi^s figure ; and it is interesting, further, to 

 note that Dr. Blanckenliorn records the species from the 

 Ahcfryonia Clot-Beyi beds ( = Lutetian) of the Fajura district 

 of Egypt.

Turritella cf. cegyptiaca, Mayer-Eymar. 



Turritella cegyptiaca, Mayer-Eymar, Joum. Concli3-l. [Paris] 1895, 

 pi. ii. fig. 2, p. 41. 



Two fragmentary specimens most probably related to this 

 species. The best preserved exhibits the basal whorl and 

 part of the penultimate separated by a fairly deep suture. 

 This last whorl bears three equidistant carinations and a more 

 obtuse one on the anterior margin formed of t\\ o spiral lines 

 very close to each other. Obscure spiral lines are also 

 present on the areas between the carina\ According to 

 Mayer-Eymar, T. cegyptiaca ranges from Upper Cretaceous 

 rocks (Garumnian) to Lower Tertiary (Londonian). 



Dimensions of last whorl. Height 19 mm. 3 width 13 mm.
