 loculis numerosis, obliquis, ultimo supra convexo, acuminate, primo convexo ; 

 suturis subcomplantis ; apertura minima, radiata." D'ORBIGNY. (1840, Mem. Soc.

N. (D.) communis, shell elongated, arched, smooth ; posteriorly acuminate, caudate ; 

 numerous chambers, oblique, last very convex, acuminate, first convex ; sutures sub- 

 complanate ; very small aperture radiate. 



Locality. Saline county, Nebraska. 



This species seems to be very rare in the western Cretaceous ; in the material examined we found 

 only one perfect specimen and two fragments. It is very abundant and well preserved in the Cretaceous 

 of New Jersey, at Timber creek and Mullica hill.
