Shell smooth, subspherical, inflate. Pores regular, circular, twice as broad as the bars. Horn 

 slender conical, about as long as the shell. Peristome constricted, with six divergent cylindrical, 

 irregularly curved feet, twice to three times as long as the shell. 



Dimensions. Shell diameter 012, feet 0'2 to 0'3 long.

4. Halicalyptra novena, n. sp. 



Shell smooth, campanulate. Pores irregular, roundish. Horn slender conical, about as long as 

 the shell. Peristome slightly constricted, with nine slender divergent feet of the same length. 

 (Very similar to Petalospyris foveolata, Ehrenberg, but without internal columella and ring, with 

 perfectly simple shell-cavity and open mouth.) 



Dimensions. Shell 0'09 diameter, feet O'l long. 



Habitat. Fossil in Barbados. 



5. Halicalyptra petalospyris, n. sp. (PI. 98, fig. 12).
