534 CRETACEOUS PALEONTOLOGY. 



Cuspidaria jerseyensis n. sp. 

 Plate LVIIL, Figs. 14-15. 



Description. Shell large for the genus, the dimensions of 

 the type specimen being: length, 25.5 mm.; height, 17 mm.; 

 thickness, 13.7 mm. Ventricose in the anterior and central 

 region, compressed and rostriform posteriorly ; the beaks in- 

 curved, directed backward, situated centrally, the right one a 

 little in advance of the left. From the beaks the anterior margin 

 slopes gently downward in front, passing into the broadly 

 rounded anterior margin, which in turn passes without inter- 

 ruption into the basal margin which is gently rounded anteriorly, 

 becoming straighter posteriorly as it slopes upward to meet the 

 cardinal margin in an obscure acute angle, the posterior margin 

 restricted to the sharply rounded rostrate extremity of the shell, 

 the post-cardinal margin concave just behind the beaks, becoming 

 straight posteriorly. Surface of the internal cast marked by 

 regular, rounded, concentric undulations a little less than one 

 millimeter apart, and by very obscure radiating lines. 



Remarks. This species is based upon a single nearly com- 

 plete internal cast from New Jersey and a second less perfect 

 specimen from Alabama. The species differs from C. ventricosa, 

 in its larger size, its more nearly central beaks, and in its con- 

 centric markings. 



Formation, and locality. Navesink marl, near Crawfords 

 Corner (i26 7 ).
