Shell of considerable size, stoutly subconical with sutures slightly 

 impressed ; whorls four to five, depressed convex, overlapped for one fourth 

 to one third of their width ; surface smooth or Avith fine concentric lines ; 

 angle of spire 40 degrees ; final whorl at its commencement having a diame- 

 ter equal to the hight of the spire above ; at the aperture much elongated, 

 explanate or reflected in the lower part. The whorls sometimes show a 

 slightly shouldered appearance and the final whorl may be subangular about 

 its base. This shell occurs in great abundance in the form of distorted casts 

 of the interior and is of the type of structure exhibited by such shells as 

 Cone hula stein in geri Koken [Neues Jahrb. fur Mineral. Beilage- 

 band 6. 1889. pi. 13, fig. 2] and Bucinum arculatum (Schlotheim) 

 MVK [Fossils Older Dep. Rhen. Prov. 1842. pi. 32, fig. i]. With the 

 former it may be directly compared. Both of these shells are from the 

 Middle Devonic. Beushausen figures as Macrocheilus ? sp. an internal cast 

 of like aspect and proportions from the Spiriferensandstein of the Oberharz 

 (Bocksberg), identical indeed so far as identity can be indicated by internal 

 casts. Specially noteworthy is the agreement in relative size of the final 

 whorl and the explanate form of the apertural margin. 



Locality. Presque Isle stream. A shell of somewhat similar character 

 but apparently stouter with more convex whorls occurs at Edmunds Hill.
