Remarks. Whitfield has identified a fragment of a large indi- 

 vidual having a maximum diameter of 55 mm. with this species. 

 In the recent collections of the Survey a fragment of the living 

 chamber of a small individual with a maximum diameter of but 

 10 mm. may possibly represent the species. Neither of these 

 specimens can be identified with certainty, and the two 1 may not 

 belong to the same species, but both are characterized by some- 

 what conspicuous node-like inflations of the sides of the shell, 

 and they may be referred to this species for the present with a 

 query.
