526 SMITHSONIAN MISCELLANEOUS COLLECTIONS VOL. 127 
Horizon and locality—Lenoir formation in Tennessee: From calcarenites 
under the Mosheim limestone, southwest side of cemetery behind the Quaker 
Church, north corner of Friendsville, Concord (T.V.A. 138-SW) Quadrangle. 
Discussion.—This is a rare species found only in a thin band of shale in the 
calcarenites behind the Quaker Church in Friendsville. The few specimens ob- 
tained show a variable form which is suggestive of the Crown Point species, A. ? 
multicostum. It differs from that form in its stronger ornamentation and the 
squarer form in the adult. Its outline and small size as well as its fairly uniform 
ornamentation distinguish it from A. plana. 
ATELELASMA sp. 1 
Plate 8o, E, figure 25 
Single pedicle valve placed under this name differs from A. perfectum by its 
less convex profile, more uniform costellae, and shallower and broader spondyl- 
ium. This species differs from A. decorticatum by its lesser depth and apsacline 
interarea. 
Measurements in mm.—110141, length 14, width 18, thickness 4.5. 
Figured specumen.—t10141. 
Horizon and locality.—Little Oak formation in Alabama: 4 mile east of Cobb 
City=Cobb, Glencoe (74’) Quadrangle. 
ATELELASMA sp. 2 
Plate 81, C, figure 14 
An interior of a pedicle and brachial valve were taken from the Botetourt 
limestone on the roadside at the junction of Virginia Highways 114 and 311, 
4 mile southwest of Catawba, Salem (15’) Quadrangle, Virginia. The interiors 
resemble those of A. obscura, but nothing is known of the exterior ; consequently, 
no further identification can be made. 
Figured specimen.—117016. 
Family KULLERVOIDAE Opik, 1934 
Vellamo-like Clitambonitacea with spondylium triplex and hemisyrinx. 
In Opik’s discussion of this family and genus it is stated that the shell sub- 
stance of Kullervo is pseudopunctate. The specimens from the Southern Ap- 
palachians described herein are silicified, and the true structure of the shell is 
difficult to ascertain. However, silicified specimens of the Strophomenidae usually 
reveal the papillose surface clearly. No evidence of pseudopunctae was seen in 
the Appalachian specimens. It is thus possible that a parallel series of genera oc- 
curs in the United States that duplicates the structure of Kullervo but is im- 
punctate. The pseudopunctate Kullervo should be assigned to the Strophome- 
noidea in the writer’s opinion, but in the absence of good collections for study 
it seems best at present to leave the family in the Clitambonitacea.
