THE CEPHALOPODA 157 



cessation of growth, after which renewed growth went 

 on rapidly for half a whorl when another constriction was 

 formed. 



Most specimens preserve the shell, but even where it 

 is chipped away no suture-lines can be seen. This is 

 because the body-chamber was over a whorl in length : 

 only on the inner whorls of broken specimens can the 

 suture-line be seen (Fig. 47, d). It resembles that of 

 Tornoceras in having a lateral lobe and saddle, but the 

 lobe is pointed instead of rounded ; while the external 

 is divided by a median saddle which is much more 

 prominent than that of Manticoceras retrovsum. 



These three Palaeozoic species are conveniently 

 described as "goniatites," being characterized by suture- 

 lines with simple lobes and saddles.
