S. STELLATA A. Adams. PI. 29, fig. 33. 



Rather solid, whitish, elliptical^ depressed-conical, apex sub- 

 central ; with elevated subspinulose radiating ribs, interstices sharply 

 roughened by close decussating striae and costellse ; margin of the 

 aperture dentate, sinus sublateral, inside produced in a canal toward' 

 the apex. This differs from any of the varieties of E. rugosa in the 

 production of the ribs at their marginal termination, and the greater 

 coarseness of the sculpture generally. (Ad.)
