Two specimens from the Lower Zorritos agree so closely 

 with typical specimens of C. latilirata from the Maryland 

 and Carolina Miocene that it is inadvisable to express a 

 difference. The only constant variation noticeable is that 

 the Peruvian forms are somewhat more inflated than the 

 Xorth American^ and that consequently the lirae of the 

 Peruvian specimens are more arcuate ventrally. The speci- 

 n-:ens studied are both broken posteriorly, and it is con- 

 sequently impossible to compare the posterior marginal 

 angles, but indications are that with the exception of a 

 slightly greater obtuseness due to the deeper curve of the 

 ventral lira they probably agree. Length, (est.) 26; height,
