BUCCINUM MOHRI, n. sp. PL 3, fig. 16, a. 



Shell rather solid ; spire high ; apex obtuse ; whorls seven, rounded ; 

 suture rather shallow ; surface smooth. Lines of growth coarse, showing 

 on the body whorl. Outer lip strongly reflected, slightly shouldered at 

 its junction with the body whorl. Aperture semi-lunate nearly two-thirds 

 the length of the shell, smooth internally, terminating in a short, excised 

 canal. 



Locality. Lisbon, Ala. 



This species has some resemblance to Bucdnum stromboides, Herm., from 

 the Calcaire Grossier, of Grignon, but lacks the striations on the lower part 

 of the body whorl, is less swollen in outline, and has a more strongly re- 

 flected outer lip. Named in honor of Dr. Chas. Mohr, of Mobile, Ala. 



COMINELLA HATCHETIGBEENSIS, n. sp. PL 3, fig. 6, a. b. 



Shell bucciniform, oblong-ovate ; whorls shouldered, with a depressed 

 groove at the suture. Spire short, smooth ; apex obtuse. Body whorl 

 strongly shouldered, contracted below, with numerous revolving lines on 

 the basal portion, which are obsolete on the middle part ; the center is 

 flattened, sometimes concave. Aperture oblong-ovate ; outer lip sinuous, 

 with a distinct, rounded, semi-circular slit on the upper third below the 

 shoulder, smooth internally ; inner lip smooth, reflected, thickened above 

 and below. 



Locality. Hatchetigbee Bluff. In two different horizons there. 



This peculiar form has such a distinct slit in the outer lip (fig. 6), that it 

 may deserve a subgeneric place, though it resembles the living Cominella 

 maculata, Marty n, from New Zealand. In one specimen the shoulder of 

 the body whorl rises so as to almost hide the succeeding whorl, giving the 

 shell a triangular form. 



COMINELLA STRIATA, n. sp. PL 5, fig. 4. 



Shell ovate, fusiform ; whorls five to six, with fine, transverse lines, 

 shouldered. Suture in a depressed groove. Lines of growth sinuous, 

 giving the shell rather a rough exterior. Body whorl contracted rapidly 

 from the center toward the base. Striae coarser on the basal portion ; spire 

 about one-third the length of the shell ; apex blunt ; aperture oblong- 

 ovate, smooth within. Columella broadly reflected; canal produced 

 canaliculate at base. 



Locality. Hatchetigbee Bluff, Ala.
