which are strongly marked upon the convex portion, but become 

 obsolete towards the sutures above and below, while on the body 

 volution they are not visible below the upper two-thirds, the 

 lower third being" destitute of 'markings. On the outer half of the 

 last volution the folds are indistinct or obsolete ; the folds appear 

 to have been somewhat sigmoidally curved in passing from above 

 downward, being directed slightly forward below. 



Remarks. This species is known only from Morton's type 

 specimen, which is only a fragmentary cast scarcely sufficient 

 to show its specific characters, although it is probable that Mor- 

 ton would have included here some specimens which are re- 

 ferred to A. pennata in the present report, since he states that 

 the species is "common throughout the blue marls." The type 

 specimen, however, seems to be a good species, distinguished 

 from A. pennata by its more strongly marked vertical nodes and 

 its more strongly convex volutions.
