Unfigured species of Schismope. 



SCISSUKELLA CARINATA A. Adams. Shell ovate, depressed ; spire 

 nearly plane; whorls 2, plane, the last radiately striate above the 

 carina (more strongly at the sutures), below the carina ornamented 

 with elevated, transverse cinguli ; base with elevated concentric lines, 

 the interstices cancellated ; aperture oblique ; inner lip receding. 



This species and the others I have named Scisurella have a fora- 

 men instead of a fissure, and would be called by some Schismope or 

 Woodwardia, both of which names I believe to be synonyms ofScis- 

 surella proper. S. carinata has a flattened spire and three prominent 

 keels on the last whorl below the carinate periphery ; it most nearly 

 resembles S. d'orbignyi ; but there are three keels besides the fissural 

 carina. (Ad. in Ann. Mag. N. H. 1862, p. 346.)

SCISSURELLA MODESTA A. Adams. Shell ovate, depressed, Storn- 

 atelliform, narrowly umbilicated ; spire small, scarcely elevated ; 

 last whorl concentrically striated above the carina, below the carina 

 longitudinally plicate ; base ornamented with spiral lirulse ; aper- 

 ture very oblique, transversely ovate. 



A small simple white species, without keels, striated above the 

 somewhat rounded periphery, and obsoletely plicate below. (Ad., 

 1. c., p. 346.)

SCISSURELLA MIRANDA A. Adams. Shell ovate, depressed, broadly 

 umbilicated ; spire nearly plane ; last whorl very delicately striate 

 concentrically above the carina, beneath it ornamented with oblique, 

 subnodose, longitudinal, distant plicae ; base with concentric lines ; 

 aperture very oblique, transversely ovate. 



In this small but very pretty species the last whorl is nodosely 

 plicate below the fissural keel. (Ad. 1. c., p. 346.)
